Best of luck all having a go today.

Other bets today Ayr 1.10 Malystic 11/1 Good course form and coming down the weights Ayr 2.15 Bunting 7/1 Back down in trip a positive and a less deeper race than last time at Cheltenham where he was travelling well but weakened Ayr 2.55 Lord Maid 8/1 Stayed on last time to finish a close second. That was just under 3m , upped in distance today to just over 3m so should suit small stakes

Good luck and welcome to the forum

Doing a couple on the exchanges later. Newbury 2.00 Maw Lam Newbury 2.35 Diablo Rojo

Amateur Watch. All the amateurs missed the cut. Well done to the winning Amateur Justin Hastings on 4 over par. My man Hiroshi Tai finished 2nd at 6 over par. Though ultimately only has himself to blame as after the first round he was the leading Amateur at 1 over par. A case of close but no cigar. On the outright winner watch. Certainly an exciting tournament with plenty in contention for the win. Definitely will make for some exciting viewing. Enjoy and be lucky.

Bet 303

Welcome @Emilia Good luck !

Leaderboard turned out to be a superb bet last week as he won very easily. Just a shame there had to be the uncertainty about if he was fit or not. Onto this Sunday and sadly it is the final ever jumps meeting at Pakenham. This was the meeting I went to last season and it has a couple of historic races on the card and its a shame Pakenham have decided not to have jumps racing anymore. To be honest I'm not hugely surprised as in the last couple of years they merged with Cranbourne and Cranbourne stopped greyhound racing. I think the club just wanted out of anything remotely controversial so the dogs and the jumps have gone. Sadly a lack of runners mean we only have 5 races as well and it is a bit concerning the lack of jumps runners so far this season. Hopefully at Warrnambool at the the end of the month we will see more. The other thing to note is they will have had to put a load of water down because they have been having 30 degree days and no rain. They have to get it to a soft 6 so I'm also slightly worried the ground will get too quick as its going to be hot on Sunday. Race 1 Not surprisingly Balinor is a short price favourite for this on the back of pushing the very good Loft close on hurdles debut at Warrnambool. He's the most likely winner and he is the best of these on the flat. I am though going to have a small e/w bet on Havisham. He's been last in his 2 flat starts this prep including at Mornington last Sunday, but it is his hurdle trial that impressed me. He jumped really well that day and there is every chance he is going to be a better hurdler than flat horse. Havisham 0.5pts e/w @ 10/1 with William Hill Race 2 Point Nepean is odds on fav for this winner of one hurdle. He won a weak handicap on hurdles debut here last July and then was well beaten by The Cunning Fox at Sandown. He then got much closer to that one in the feature hurdle at Ballarat on the final day of the season as he went down 0.46L. He's had 4 hurdle trials leading into this, but hasn't run in a race since the Melbourne Cup carnival. Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott won this race last year and they have a fascinating contender in the shape of Road Runner this year. He had 3 starts in New Zealand, 1 of which has over hurdles in heavy ground over 3000m which he won. He also lost his maiden tag on the flat. He's had 3 hurdle trials since coming to Oz and I was impressed on the whole in the last of them at Ballarat on Monday. The only slight negative is he ran down the flights a couple of times, but he really attacked them and clearly loves jumping. Noonday Gun is 1/1 over hurdles having won on the final day of the season at Ballarat last year. He bolted up although it wasn't the strongest race and the winning time was 3 seconds slower than Point Nepean's race. Probably no real surprise that though given one was a maiden and one was a feature race. He had a couple of flat starts in October, but the only time he's been out since was when he won a hurdle trial on Monday. One of those 3 ought to win and I'm going with Road Runner. He gets weight from Point Nepean and Gai loves to have a good jumper to send to Warrnambool. He is unexposed and loves his jumping so at the prices I will take a chance he's good enough to beat Point Nepean. Road Runner 1pt @ 5/2 with Ladbrokes and Coral Race 3 The MJ Bourke Hurdle and the greatest jumper in Australia Stern Idol makes his jumps return. He won the feature chase on this card last year so its interesting they are sending him back over hurdles which he hasn't run over for a while. He was superb over hurdles though so that shouldn't bother him. It's a good race though as he goes up against Affluential. He won the maiden hurdle on this card last year having looked like he was going to be 2nd jumping the last and just overhauling Dubai Moon late on. He then won his next 5 races both over hurdles and on the flat. He then finished 2nd on the flat before landing the Grand National Hurdle at Sandown in August. That was a top effort and he then went to Western Australia in the summer to run on the flat. Back in Victoria now and he was just in front of Stern Idol in a BM70 at Sandown over 3000m when they were 2nd and 3rd. He then dropped back in trip on Wednesday and ran solidly over 2400m also at Sandown. That should leave him spot on for this. The Cunning Fox is also unbeaten over hurdles having won all 3 last year. He won his maiden here in July, then a BM120 very easily at Sandown before winning the big hurdle on the final card at Ballarat. He's had 3 starts in the flat in the last few weeks to get him fit for this as well as hurdle trials. The drift on Prismatic told a story at Warrnambool and the bet I put up turned out to be awful. He's better than that, but I'd be surprised if he was up to this. I am wary of Affluential and The Cunning Fox, but I have to be with Stern Idol. I don't think going back over hurdles will bother him and its going to take a personal best from the other two to beat him. Stern Idol 1pt @ 6/5 with William Hill, Ladbrokes and Coral Race 4 The Mighty Spar drifted like a barge at Warrnambool last month. I put him up at 7/2 and his SP was 10/1! I was watching the race live so thought I had done my money as I guessed he wasn't fit. However he ran a hell of a race and looked the winner for a long way down the straight only to get overtaken by Tom Foolery and Duke Of Bedford. It was Duke Of Bedford's best effort at Warrnambool and whilst he has never run at Pakenham it should be a track that will suit him. For me though I have to be with The Mighty Spar to reverse the form. I reckon he surprised them with the run at Warrnambool as there is no way he would have drifted like that if he had been fully fit so with that jumps run under his belt I think he can reverse the form and its not like he needs to improve much anyway. Port Guillaume is the only other one in with a chance and he's the best of these on the flat and did win the Australian Hurdle at Sandown last June. His only chase start so far saw him beaten 60L into 4th in the Grand National last August. This trip will be better and he's had 4 flat starts since late January plus 3 steeple trials. He is a danger for sure, but I do prefer The Mighty Spar on the back of the Warrnambool run. I should just mention Carnamah who did beat Duke Of Bedford at Hamilton last May and was in front of him again at Sale when 2nd to The Mighty Spar. He did lose his way after that though and he probably needs it softer to slow the others down a bit as he is only picnic level on the flat. The Mighty Spar 2pts @ 5/2 with Ladbrokes and Coral Race 5 The feature race and the last ever jumps race at Pakenham. With Tom Foolery out we basically have a repeat of the steeplechase from Ballarat as only Blood And Sand didn't run in it. Leaderboard won very easily and I don't think the extra 750m will make any difference to the form. To be fair to Schabau he did jump better than I thought he would, but I just saw nothing that made me think anything from that race will be able to reverse the form. Blood And Sand is solid enough, but shouldn't be good enough to beat Leaderboard. I am amazed he is available at even money and he looks a very good bet at those odds. Leaderboard 3pts @ Evs with Ladbrokes and Coral

very well done on these bets CakeCakeCake

YTD -£3 C.Morikawa £3 win at 33/1 Betfair Ex

didnt take long for Marmoush shot on target. £20 for next bet 🙂

Also tailing LG on Oyarzabal. He's only a shade better than my fair odds but is a FTM pick at 3.35. Larin at 5 a system pick in the same game and I'll chuck the allowed pence at the double at 19/1.

Bet 304

It’s a omen both Leeds and Plymouth k/o at same time 😂 g/l harry

Idah for Celtic my final fling for the 12:30 games.

First bet of my £10 to £500 hopefully

Might as well go full @LEE-GRAYS and back Hardie as well! 5.1 just triggers the "Bet Signal" for me. 18/5 Rak-Sakyi in the same game a system pick too.

For us Yorkshire* folk who are over 60 there is free entry into the Grandstand and Paddock area for Monday's raceday at Ponte. You can book a ticket via their website (one per email address), bring photo ID on the day. *punters from other counties may be allowed in with a flat cap. See you there

Nice touch . As a small stakes shareholder with an Owners Group horse they also do ' freebies ' at certain racecourses , enjoy your day , lay off the John Smith's & leave the Whippet at home 😆

Skybet paying 7 places in the Scottish Grand National With 23 runners that's just under a third of the field ........ so it might be a bonus but it's not as good as the usual 3 places in an 8 runner field which is just over a third of the field !

Boston v Altrincham Of course Boston went and won on Tuesday night when I decided not to back ten, but it was deserved and whilst Altrincham won last week against Yeovil, they have been pretty poor recently and Yeovil haven't been very good themselves. Both sides need the points at the opposite ends of the table, but with Boston being at home and in the better form I have to back them again. Boreham Wood v Hemel Hempstead Boreham Wood did win 3-0 last week against Salisbury, but apart from that they have not been in good form having lost 3 on the bounce and blowing any chance they had of the title. This is a local derby and since New Years Day Hemel have only lost twice. They lost 4-3 in the reverse fixture and also to Worthing. They have drawn their last 3 which does hint they might be easing up slightly for the season, but I think they will be up for this and are too big. Chesham v Farnborough Farnborough have been a bit all over the place and did win 4-1 last week, but that was over a Tonbridge side who had no manager. Chesham were in poor form, but are unbeaten in 4 and had a superb win at Torquay last week. They look a shade of value to win this. Hyde v Matlock (Northern Prem) Hyde have nothing to play for and Matlock need the points to stay up. They have spent plenty of money in an attempt to do so and this is a game they can win. Hyde struggled to beat Blyth last week. I will add the caveat that Matlock have only beaten Blyth themselves since Jan 14th, but they did draw with Guiseley two games back. Spalding v Alvechurch (Southern Prem Central) Just 2 points in Alvechurch's last 7 away games. Spalding have only lost to Harborough in their last 11 home games and they need the points to get into the play-offs. They should be odds on for this. Gosport v Hanwell (Southern Prem South) Hanwell were hammered 5-0 by Gloucester 4 games ago and were as bad as that scoreline suggests. Since then they have beaten 2nd place Totton, Sholing and then last Saturday were the first team to beat likely champions Merthyr since Gloucester beat them on August Bank Holiday Monday. Hopefully they can keep those performances up and they are worth backing to beat Gosport.

9 out of 10 in the last 2 days, not so bad. Djere to beat Coria and De Minaur to beat Musetti combined at 2.20. I might be wrong but watched both players matches and I think De Minaur won't be having much of a problem here and will reach the final.

Managedbtonget moneyback in free bets for schauffelle 5 birdies in round 1, so free bet. Also couple back on morikawa. Rose going well, if I didn't have a bet I'd hope he pulls it off, but still not sure about him when he gets to the business end. Scheffler is current fav, although still tonstart 2nd round. See DeChambeau is hovering around, still think his putting will let him down in home straight.
