Flat Racing Friday 14th Jan

[cpo]

To me there are some decent bets at Wolverhampton tomorrow night but the way my luck has been recently they probably have no chance. 4.10 Welcome Approach This one returned form a short break in November where he ran over 5f at Wolves. The horse was held up at the back, travelled well and then ran on well under hands n heels riding. Think the step up in trip for this one will be ideal. They will probably go a good pace in the race which will suit this horse. He has a decent draw in 6 where he can just sit in behind the pace. I see Kheley and Double Carpet as the main dangers as I think Lets Move it is a far better horse at Southwell rather than anywhere else. These 2 both like to front run so I am hoping they will take each other on and set up for my selection. 4.40 Radiator Rooney Second division of the handicap will hopefully go to this horse. Tipped it up last time as my BBOTD where he ran well enough but was outpaced and then ran on again over 5f at Lingfield. Think the step up to 6f again at this track will suit the horse. Likes to be held up so will require luck in running but if he gets the break should be thereabouts at the finish. The only danger in the race for me is itsthursdayalready who has been running consistently well at Southwell. It has the best of the draw today but I think this one might just need a little further than 6f at Wolves so I am happy to take him on with Radiator Rooney. 5.10 Cardinal A much more competitive race than the previous 2 as there are many in with chances here. Cardinal's last run at Lingfield was quite disappointing where he finished well beaten behind Secret Asset. That was a class 3 race and Secret Assest was then sent off favourite for a class 2 race following that run where he was only beaten just over a length. Cardinal's previous run to that was very impressive when he won by 4l beating Norville. This is represents a step up in class from that race but the way he travelled and quickened in that race is enough to warrant a bet from me today. Although he didn't beat much that day, he won very cosily under hands and heels under today's jockey. Ajara is the main danger to the selection as he has racked up a hat-trick at Wolves beating recent winners Master Leon, Itsthursdayalready and garstang in those races. May still be on the improve. Jigajig is closely matched with that one its last run. Onceaponatime ran well last time out at Southwell and will be a danger if reproducing that here. Methaly is very consistent but I don't like the jockey as I don't think he is that strong yet. Looked very poor last time out for me where he got beat by diriculous. 10/1 for Cardinal I think is a big price if able to reproduce his last run at wolves. The track was riding slow that day so could have the same conditions. 6.40 Mountain Myst Last but not least I think this one has a decent chance. Still looked green last time out at Lingfield where he found himself detached turning in and then all of a sudden took off down the straight and snatched 3rd. That wasn't much of a race but he should come on again for that run. Nothing spectacular with the already raced horses in this one so I am looking at the newcomers as the possible dangers. I just think if this horse can improve again and settle better in this race, and then show that excellent turn of foot at the business end he should go close. Don't have any prices yet and will put the bet on tomorrow but will put these in a little e/w acca and a lucky 15. Just realised I have gone for Amy Ryan and Hayley turner doubles...... hummm :unsure

Sport	Horse Racing
Event	Lingfield Park 15:00
Selection	Pascaline (Each-way)
Strength	1/10
Date	14/01/2011
Bookmaker/Price	Bet365 @ 0.00
Reasoning	One of two runners today from trainer John Akehurst. I think this is his best chance for a winner because the other one is a tough looking maiden race. Akehurst has his yard in good health looking at the results the last 30 days. 10 runs for 2 winners, 2 second, and 3 more placed third. He had one runner go the off today's C&D and finished good 2nd. The selection have been off a while but I think she's ready based on his trainers form. She also acts well on this surface having raced here 4 times and finished third twice.
