Wed 10th April – Nottingham Racing

NOTTINGHAM – Long Shots
As you can see from the prices, the Bookies don’t think any of these will win. I won’t go through the reasons why, but I think they have slim chances of placing, and you never know, one of them might spring a surprise.
2.40 – Mayfield Girl 25/1
3.10 – Silvanus 33/1
3.40 – The Bull Hayes 33/1
4.10 – Weapon of Choice 14/1

Saturday 30 March Racing – Doncaster / Kempton / Meydan
Doncaster Races
These are just my bets/picks, which I share hoping they’re decent. If you do any of these on my say so, bet entirely at your own risk, thanks for looking.
Doncaster 3.05 The William Hill Lincoln Handicap
Swiftly Done 25/1
Has had 22 races, finished in the first 3 11 times, winning 1 of 3 Class 2 races. Won 4 of last 8 races at a mile. Big price but at 4 places each way I’m having a go. Has won on Soft aswell. Jockey is a 7lb claimer I’ve never heard of though, so is risky.
Chapter Seven 11/1
Is a C&D winner on Soft ground. Only had 2 starts on Soft, won both, the other being at York. Graham Lee rides.
These are the 2 I was initially on last week before the meeting was cancelled, and I’m on again today. Luckly they are still roughly the same prices.
BIG PRICES: I haven’t bet on these two (hope that’s not a mistake), but I think they’re worth a mention: Majestic Myles 40/1, Chosen Character 28/1.
Doncaster 1.20
Thunderball 14/1
A superb record of 3 wins from 3 races at 6 furlongs on Soft ground.
Spinatrix 10/1
Very consistent. Form on Soft: 1322. 27% win and 93% place at 6 furlongs. Again another unknown 7lb claimer onboard.
Doncaster 4.15
The Lockmaster 10/1
This is a horse I keep an eye on. Never seems to run a bad race, although just lately hasn’t produced the goods on the all weather since winning at Southwell. Trainer Michael Appleby has confirmed my thoughts to why this is. Today could be a different matter. Won 2 of last 3 10 furlong races, all on turf. Has won here before.
Kempton Each Way Lucky 15
2.20 Robin Hoods Bay 2/1
2.55 Buckland 7/1
4.05 Spirit of Sharjah 25/1
4.35 Seek The Fair Land 16/1
Warning: I know virtually nothing about Dubai Racing
But Meydan Each Way Lucky 15
1.10 Moonwalk In Paris 9/1
2.25 Shuruq 8/1
3.45 Krypton Factor 9/1
4.40 Sajjhaa 7/1

Southwell AW Racing – Wed 26 March
Jack Dawkins winning at Southwell
Decent day today at Southwell, put two horses on Twitter, one won, 20/1 sp Calculating.
No big prices there for Wednesday, well not to me anyway. I’ve picked the horses as per normal and then as always price up after. Prices are Bet365 and might be slightly out of date now time I’ve done this blog, but are genuine.
I’ll write a very brief line for each, to give you a part of the reason I’ve chosen them.
SOUTHWELL
2.10 Jack Dawkins – Good record here, only lost last time by just over a length to Stand Guard. (No price yet)
3.10 Caldercruix – Narrowly beaten here on Saturday in a much better race. Won here before. (9/4)
3.45 Sewn Up – Won here recently, at better Class than the rest. Giving a lot of weight to the favourite though. (11/4)
4.20 Rio Cobolo – Won 2 of last 3 here at Class 5, beat Hellbender lto who I rate. Still on winning mark (5/1)
4.55 Luv U Whatever – 2 from 2 here. Beat Ivy Port lto, IP won today. (7/4)
If either of the 3.10, 3.45, 4.20 or 4.55 are to get beat, here’s what I think by, so Reverse Forecast:
3.10 Caldercruix / Kung Hei Fat Choy
3.45 Sewn Up / Hannah’s Turn
4.20 Rio Cobolo / Elusive Hawk
4.55 Luv U Whatever / Apache Rising
