A good winner yesterday for my subscribers. Mare Australis 5.10 Chantilly was advised yesterday at 9/4, heavily supported in the betting into around 4/5, before getting up in the shadows of the finish line to win. His jockey Pierre Charles Boudot is riding as well as any jockey at the moment. I think he is the best jockey in France, he has so much confidence, although riding for Andre Fabre helps a lot, as every race you have a good chance of getting in the money.

Today’s cards in the UK look a typical “Monday puzzle” with a few I like, I’m just waiting on a few market moves, there is one race at Pontefract that could well be worth watching closely at 1.20. Meraas tries grass for the first time, this horse has the breeding to suggest he will be fine on it. What is clear is this event will be ran at real pace, which could possibly suit a horse ridden with a little bit of patience, so finding the winner is very difficult. If Meraas does get to dictate and is not hassled for the lead, he will be tough to pass, although Pontefract is a really stiff track, and you need to get every yard of the trip to get home.

More later.
