Flat Racing - 25/11

[RussP]

6.40 Wolverhampton - Brouhaha, 1pt EW 12 runners here for 1m4f Class 4 handicap. At first glance, this looks a really tough puzzle to solve with many of these reopposing each other on slightly different terms. However, I'm going with one that can't easily be measured against it's rivals, in Brouhaha. Around a 12/1 shot in the forecast market and that looks too big. Has a good record on the sand, 5 wins and 4 2nds from 21 tries so clearly at home on the surface and now races off a very favourable mark, 2lb lower than lto but with a capable 7lb claimer on top that gets on well with this horse (a win and a 2nd from 4 rides). Last win came off 76 with this jockey on top (off 77 today), since then form figures read 4-2-0-6-3-6 (all off marks in the 80's) and lto 4th of 5 off 79 but trip was wrong and no pace in the race meant it turned into a sprint. My main concern is the waiting tactics employed with the horse but I always like a trainer putting a capable claimer on board after promising performances with the pro up. Down in class, down in mark and back at more suitable trip all add to the chances of this 6yo gelding, I just hope he gets the run of the race.

Re: Flat Racing - 25/11 Wolverhampton 17:10 - Jack Smudge LAY @ Betfair SP Attempting a five timer here but I think this run could end this evening. He was a narrow winner lto when stepping up in class and could be undone by an extra 5lb. Never raced on Wolverhampton's polytrack and this looks a trappy race where you can't rule out a single runner so looking to get after the favourite.
