  1. Another run for Dutch Decoy today, Wolves 16.55. was 2nd lto after running lazily in the first half of the race and leaving himself too much to do. Runs today off same mark, is currently favourite and has Fanning aboard as usual. Trainer Mark Johnston expects at least a place. I hope for a win! GLIYF.

  2. Newcastle 17.30

    Dutch Decoy          17.08        5/1        3/1     No value

    Tadleel                   15.48        6/1        7/2     No value

    Daafr                     13.33        7/1        8/1     Some value

    Anif                        13.14       7/1       15/2     Some value

    Ulshaw Bridge       13.09       7/1       11/2     No value

    Red Bond              12.64      15/2      11/2     No value

    Katheefa               11.03       17/2      12/1     Value

    Dandys Gold         10.49       9/1        33/1    Value

    Tricky race this. I have a share in Dutch Decoy so a bit biased! He should win if reproducing the last run. Was top weight lto and made light of it. 4lb higher today and top weight again. We'll see. Value bet is Katheefa but hard to fancy for me.

  3. Dutch Decoy runs again today, Newcastle 17.30. He won last time out and as such carries 4lb extra. Mark Johnston says the horse is in good heart and they are hopeful of another good run. Joe Fanning pilots again. Currently the favourite, you can get 10/3 at Betvic or Boyles. GLIYF.

    There seems to be a lot of success on here with top rated selections which is good but is anybody finding success with "value" selections.

    Not me so far. A big advantage of rating a race is that it gives you a good feel for all the runners. Most of the value selections look, sound and smell like dogs. Conclusion.....they're probably dogs!!

    Incredibly close h/cap. Al Muffrih down to last winning mark but no form on AW or at the distance.

    Top 2 probably have it, Poetic Force worth a small dabble.

    Top 2 1st & 2nd, Poetic 3rd, Al Muff 4th!

    Devise an age scale maybe? Or just knock the horses age off the handicap mark?

    My suggestion:

    4/5        1

    6/7        0

    8           1

    9           2

    10         3

    11         4

    12         5

    13         6

    14+       7

    For 10 yo and up add yrs since last win, then knock total off hcap mark.

    Could do with doing something regarding how I score an horse regarding its handicap mark . I’ve noticed if I rate a race and it has some older horses up against younger up and coming horses, the older horses rate higher because they have usually won off higher marks in the past so they get top points, where as an up and coming horse might be racing on a mark it hasn’t raced off before so scores lower.  Not saying the older horses shouldn’t be top rated but I’ve got a feeling it won’t be accurate long term .

    Amtiyaz should win but too short imo. I would have a bet on Chipiron if it drifts out.

    Amtiyaz 2nd rated wins easily.

  15. My ratings, not confident!

    Mr Malarkey                19.70     15/2

    The Butcher Said        10.9       14/1

    Try as I may I can't get Cap Du Nord any higher unless I cook the books! No uplift for trainer or jockey, No form at the distance.

    Obvious value is Takingrisks ew. I fancy Canelo.
