BBOTD - Sunday 24/10/10

[calculus]

3.05 Towcester - Miss Overdrive (13/8 Stan James) 1pt Win Stands out for me on a day of limited possibilities, won with a lot in hand last time out and with the Turnell yard going reasonably well I expect her to follow up. Drop in trip is not ideal but should be offset by the stiff finish, opposition looks thin on the ground, Way Back When would be a danger but I would prefer to see Alan King getting a few more winners before backing one of his.

Re: BBOTD - Sunday 24/10/10 16:05 Wincanton Really fancy Sir Harry Cool to run a big race today and get his head in front. John Panvert's mount really loves Wincanton, having had both his two victories here. His first was rather fortunate as he was left in front after the likely winner fell at the last. His second win here (under today's rider and off a 3lbs lower mark than today) was no fluke and nice performance over today's distance. Struggled since the huge hike in the weights, and never really relished fences when tried over them (liable to make a few mistakes over the bigger obstacles). Back down to a reasonable mark now, having had a bit of break to freshen him up. On a course, trip and rider who he really likes. I think he's overpriced at these stages and I'm fairly confident of him being up to winning this. Trainer record at Wincanton is pretty incredible too, with a 5/15 (33.3%) record in the past three seasons (all of them wins coming over hurdles). When John Panvert mounts and jockey David England team up, they have a fantastic record of 5/7. With all these factors included, I'm very confident of a good run for my money. I think Sir Harry Cool can turn around the form after his last run and go very close. Sir Harry Cool; Win @ 11/2 Bet365 BOG
