Best bet of the day 24th Jan

[chris34]

3.50 Kempton Think I am right in saying this is the first London Mile Qualifier and this usually produce competitive fields and favourites dont often do too well in these races. Tony Carrolls horses have started the new year in fine form and a couple more success's yesterday again proves the form of the yard and both of his runners have to be given a chance here. Firstly Jake The Snake who was very unlucky not to win on his season reappearance when nearly biten in the finish by caprio which cost him the race but proves he is in top form and perhaps continue his slow steady upward curve from last year only 3lb higher than last win draw could perhaps have been kinder. His other runner is Jordaura who is having his first run for him and comes here fit after an abmissmal effort over hurdles for another yard 2 weeks ago. He proved very frustrating in the summer often shaping as if a win was around the corner just kept bumping into things and also running in much stronger races than this and now returns to the AW on a reasonable mark if getting a good pace to chase and a route through as again he will be finishing late. Finally the other that interests me is Big Bay who is another running for an inform yard in Chapple-Hyam and has dropped a long way in the weights after several disappointing efforts in the summer and autumn struggling to beat a rival home but something like his best last time out when closing late on over todays CD and a further 1lb lower today and if back to best he is well handicapped 5lb lower than last win over CD in Nov 09. 1pt win Jake The Snake 8/1 Hills

Re: Best bet of the day 24th Jan 16.15 Wetherby Early start tomorrow so need to get this up now. In what is a weak line-up, Sambelucky is the stand-out selection. He has been improving as of late and there isn't any other runner who seems likely to match him in this one, the only danger coming in the form of the improving Chouromanesco but he maybe near his peak and I reckon Sam should have the edge in this one. Hopefully should start at around or above 2/1. Sambelucky - 1pt Win @ SP
