Sparse

Yes, racing has been sparse these last few days. i had a few bets picked out for wed but no joy as bothe NH meets in England called off. I presume taunton will be called off tomorrow as well as they are expecting snow. It s pity as i really fancy River Tigris in the 4.50. This horse ran a blinder last time out in first time blinkers on the same underfoot conditions as forecasted for tomorrow and also the same distance. Also with mccoy getting a second crack of the whip at this horse i thing that 9/2 is great value if you can get it. The main reason im going for this than the favourite is the fact that i think the fav is going up in clas while river tigris is defintely comin into a weaker race and he canbe progresive with the head gear on. As already stated, headgear has been proven to be most effective the second time been worn (as hors eis getting used to the blinded feeling)

Mt other two bets are in Southwell.
1.30 Grange Lili
3.30 Waterside

My main reason for this is the performance of their respective last races. Grange lili won after been obstructed and is gamely battler.. all is good for southwell where a battler can make up that extra half yard on a slower surface. He is very close to getting reeled in my the handicapper but is worth another go. at 5/2 its very near value. trainer has an outstanding record here and that tips the scale in favour of this selection in a small sized field.

Waterside is in brilliant form. Moore has teamed up with Callan today to tackle the extra furlong on the inform gelding. again the shiny price seems value and he will appreciate the extra furlong on this energy sapping fibre sand course.
