Flat Racing 6th Jan

Looks an extremely poor day on the AW today. 1.20 Southwell I cant see much getting into this bar last years winner Harlech Castle and the unexposed Benato the Great. Harlech Castle returned to something like some form over CD in claimer last month when finishing well but this was probably still not enough to win a race of this calibre at the moment for all he is on a very attractive mark 14lb below last winning mark. For me the only horse in the race is Benato The Great he looks a real class act, still running very green last time out but easily made it 2 from 2 in his career and confirmed his liking for this surface, up 7lb for that effort but useful claimer takes off 3lb and still looks well ahead of his mark. 0.5pt win Benato The Great 5/4 bet365 6.10 Wolverhampton Hardly inspiring again but I feel Jezza is very hard to oppose today. Bivouac has been in good form recently proving his loving for fibresand last twice when finishing 1st and 2nd in jumpers bumpers but prior to that looked held by the handicapper at his favoured fibresand venue and perhaps worth opposing in handicap company. Houston Dynamo was second behind Jezz last time out and has 7lb in hand of him today for just over 2 lengths but Jezza was winning going away and could have won by more so he looks held on that form. Calculating has been out of form although on a good enough mark but likely to need the run after a short break. Treacle Tart looks worth another chance but not sure about this massive step up in trip so put off slightly. So now onto Jezza again looks to be going the right way even though the staying division on the AW is never very strong he has progressed nicely in weak races and won very easily last time out winning going away and could have easily won by 5+lengths or more handicapper felt fit for an 8lb rise but at the moment he remains ahead of his mark in my opinion 0.5pt win Jezza 11/10 vc

Event	Wolverhampton 16:40
Selection	Madam Mayem
Strength	1/10
Date	06/01/2011
Bookmaker/Price	Bet365 @ 0.00
Reasoning	Highest handicap mark and gets the age allowance for this maiden race. She performed well on turf from three starts and yard knows how to win here. Been off for 156 days but she is in the good hands on Tom Dascombe. Dascombe have 5 wins from 7 here since 2004 when the entry is going off from 91 or more days off, 4 from 10 at the C&D. Market support also speaks alot with those 9-2 or lower having 10 winners from 17 (11-8 and lower is 5 from 6). Jockey R Kingscote is booked. He has ridden the last four maidens here for Dascombe and they all won.
