The unending search for value.....
Matt's away in deepest Dorset for the weekend which leaves me in the hotseat again in the pursuit of some profitable punting possibilities.
The best of the weekends racing centres on the York card which serves as a good appetiser for the feast of next weeks high class racing action.
Time to dust off the Top Hat and Tails as the countdown to Royal Ascot has begun.
I'll be back later with a preview of this great meeting with a few ante-post pointers and a few notable trends in the big races,
But it's back to York for now and without doubt the big race of the weekend is the £100k 6f Betfair Sprint Cup. With that kind of prizemoney on offer this race is usually a really tight, impossible to fathom race full of decent inform handicappers and future top class sprinters.
This year is no exception.
The trends don't help us much either as the last 10 winners have varied in weight from 7-10 to 9-2 and in price from 9/4f to 33/1. Also, the draw doesn't seem to favour any particular part of the course so I think it's back to the form book to pick the winner the old fashioned way....
The two I will take against the field are;
Van Bossed from the D. Nicholls stable (who have won this twice in the last decade). He looked on the upgrade after two easy wins at Ripon before dissappointing slightly in a conditions race last time. Taken to bounce back to form now returned to handicap company and on this easier ground he should be in the shake up
and Fathsta. He had a few of these behind when winning over this course in May, albeit it over 7furlongs, and seemed to improve again when chasing home Iguazu Falls in a Listed race at Epsom last weekend. With the likely strong pace hopefully aiding in this drop down in trip I take him to run another good race.
My other weekend fancy comes in tonights footie match between Holland and France. No matter what Matt says about Italy being unlucky to lose 3-0 (I think he needs to visit specsavers and get those rose tinted glasses checked) in their opening game, Holland still look a far better team than France to me and I take them to win this match and win it well.
The 5/1 at William Hill for Holland -1 goal looks a value bet and definitely worth a small punt.
Talking of value, here's the Friday Fun.
Its an advert for a Poker Website that unsurprisingly got banned.
Well, when you see value you gotta take it, no matter what...........
One last thing before I go, and much as it pains me to write this, congratulations has to go to Matt for some truely inpired tipping in his earlier blog (see below)
From the three races he analysed he gave all three winners at odds of 8/1, 4/1 and 6/1. Great
tipping and great prices.
I hope you all took his advice. Very well done Matt.
Bye for now,
Gavin.
