Another day of profit yesterday, Casey Jones winning at Newcastle, backed at 11/10, he returned at 4/6 after heavy support.  Smith’s Bay whom I put on the update was a below par 5th, he was a bit keen early in the race, but to be honest he was given no chance from where he was ridden in the race, he was so far back, he made up a lot of ground to get closer, but in soft ground it is very tough on the horse, they use up too much energy, and fail to finish the race off, jockeys have to ride the race to suit the horse, not ride the horse to suit the race !

Todays Free tip is as follows:

Horse: Drafted

Time: 5.25 Meydan

Current Odds: 2/1

A winner twice at Meydan over 6f and 7f, the step up to 1 mile today should not be a problem to this horse.  He is usually switched off at the rear and finishes well, he can complete the hat trick of wins today.  Of rivals, Footbridge has fair form in USA, his form at Meydan on dirt has been ok, but below his American form, Cappezano could well relish the return to dirt racing, he ran well last winter at the track on the dirt, he could well pose the main threat.

I will update later with a horse, around 2pm.
