6.55 Lingfield - Smooth Silesie 3/1 & Money Pockets 9/4
Double handed in this one in the hope that one of em can oblige and i can come out ahead , if only slightly
Smooth Silesie has been going well lately with form figures of - 2,1,2,1,1 in her last five outings and despite the 5lb rise she incurs i think she can be making her rpesence felt where it matters. One from one over CD , class and ground shouldnt be a problem , draw could be a problem but given her form im willing to overlook it. Lisa Williamson sends just this one out today making her one of the longest travellers here this evening and shes been in good form lately with figures of - 2,2,1,11,1,10,2 since the 9th August .. 33% strike rate in the last three weeks. Tyrese Cameron takes the ride for the first time and the 7lb claim will help offset the rise in the weights hopefully , been in solid form with a 50% strike rate in the last two weeks , and has a 10% strike rate when riding here this season.
Money Pockets represents the bang in form Martin Dunne , and has come second in her last two races so knocking on the door. Yet to win a race in seven attempts but recent form makes me think shes gonna go in sooner rather than later. Doesnt look badly drawn and i think she can go well. Trainer has a 28.6% strike rate over the past month along with a healthy profit of +£32.25 , Alexandra Egan in the hot seat for the first time and the 7lb claim will come in handy , 100% strike rate when riding for the trainer in the last three weeks and i think she can go close here this evening.
8.40 Chelmsford - Thomas Equinas 8/1
D Ivory sends a couple to Chelmsford tonight , and Thomas Equinas is the one that interests me the most , draw could of been kinder admittedly but knows the course like the back of his hoove having won here five times and placed in a further three , all bar one of those wins coming over tonights CD. Has won from higher than todays mark and in the class , so im hoping for a decent effort at a decentish price. Has been running well being there or thereabouts and i can see him going close if the draw isnt too much of a hinderance. Trainer been coming into a bit of form , and has an 11% strike rate when running them here , Hollie Doyle in the saddle for the first time and despite not being in the best of form lately she usually does well here , this term she has an 11.4% strike rate and a profit of +£36.25. Two or three other in the race also look as though they could go well but im willing to take a chance on TE at the price.
Couple of others ive had a speculative punt on
