Flat Racing: Mon 26th Sept

[RussP]

1 to start the week with. 4.30 Bath Division 2 of this 10f Class 5 handicap and I'm going with Seb Sanders' one here. Loads in her favour now dropped back in trip and class. Record over the trip reads 1-1-5-2 whilst in this grade or lower in handicaps, her form is a very impressive 1-4-1-1-2-2-1-4. Trotted up last time Seb took the ride, stable is amongst the winners and track will suit. In fact, has raced here just once coming clear by 3L in a handicap. A track with a stiffish finish is also no problems so I'm just not sure why this one trades at 7's. 3 creditable runs off this mark, running better than form figures would suggest and, in a weak event, I can't see this one being out of the 3. Bowsers Brave could be the blot but isn't certain to improve for a 9lb hike in the weights and I'm confident Amistree is the EW alternative. Amistress, 2pts EW @ 7/1 Bet365 BOG

Re: Flat Racing: Mon 26th Sept Madam Isshe 2.30 Bath. 0.5 points each way. Annoying horse, who tries hard not to win, but the weights give her a big chance of being involved in the finish of this race, so with the trip and ground not a concern, she should be able to run her race and be involved in the outcome. Hopefully today she'll want it a little more. 13/2 Victor Chandler (bog)
