Pleased to get another winner yesterday for my subscribers.  My only advised bet was Joyful Mission 5.05 Pontefract, nice to get the 13/8 in the morning.  Heavily backed into 4/5, the Danny Tudhope ridden horse, never looked in danger, making all the running for an easy 5 Lengths victory.

I hope to keep the good run going today, I like one horse in a later race.  Looking at the rest of today’s cards, rain and showers are forecast, so a bit of caution if taking an early price on something.  If it stays dry at Newton Abbot, the 4.45 looks a competitive race, even though only five line up.  Samson is favourite, having won easily last time at Worcester 26 days ago. Dr Richard Newland bought this horse for only £6000.00 back in December, the Dr has a good track record of improving horses, and the way this gelding won last time, he has a strong chance of defying his 10lb raise in the handicap, although it will not be easy.   As You Like is honest and has ran well at this tight track, he wants genuine good or good to firm conditions to be at his best, so rain will not be any use to his chances.  But if it stays dry, he is a real threat. Royal Magic, tends to make mistakes, and fell on his last run, prior to that he won easily at Southwell, but was not foot perfect that day, so is a bit risky !

Windsor evening meeting has had a bit of rain, on ground that has been watered.  So it could ride a bit false, I think I will watch a race or two, and see how the times are, and how it looks to be riding, before maybe having an investment.
