Re: BBOTD Saturday 17th of March The late ones!

6.50 Wolverhampton SIX NATIONS FREE BETS WITH FREEBETTING.CO.UK HANDICAP (DIV II) (CLASS 6) (4yo+ 0-52) - Winner £1,704 Standard - 5f216y - Number of runners: 13 PRIGSNOV DANCER @ 4/1 bog (Bet365, PaddyPower) Prigsnov Dancer was a good horse as a two-year-old with Pat Haslam (1 win, 4 seconds and rated up to 75 as a 3yo) but has had his problems. The horse missed almost 2 full seasons and has been highly disappointing both with Jimmy O'Reilly and Owen Brennan and so he was put out for another full year and came back just 3 weeks ago. New trainer Garry Woodward did a very good job in a short period especially thanks to the help of a good chiropractor who helped to solve Prigsnov Dancer's pelvis problems. The horse is finally fit and his trainer stated he's been going like a dream since. Prigsnov Dancer showed all that with an easy win over C&D 22 days ago when he took the lead from stall number 12 and made all travelling very well and winning with ease. The second of that race Odd Ball has won next time out franking that form and 6lb raise doesn't look a problem as well as the stall number 9 with Micky Fenton booked for this race another plus as the experienced jockey looked rejuvenated of late with 5 wins and 5 seconds with his last 30 rides and a level stake profit of over +£10 in the last couple of months. As far as concerned the opposition Flow Chart and Almaty Express look the main danges. Flow Chart came back to life after a disappointing race when finishing second last time out behind a well-gambled winner and favourite of that race Only Ten Per Cent, well clear of the rest at Southwell 6 days ago. Anyway the horse trained by Peter Grayson won only once in 31 starts and is usually more good for a place than for a win. Almaty Express in a race full of 4yos his the old veteran (10 yo) and together with Diamond Fire and Prigsnov Dancer is the only C&D winner of these runners. Almaty Express hit the frame over C&D the last twice but has a bad draw to overcome and was very disappointing last time out at Kempton. Tony Carroll's Jolie Etoile could be dangerous for her handicap debut from such a low mark but she showed too little to be trusted, Look For Love was third yesterday but has won only once in 22 starts and that was over 7f. Skystream is still maiden after 8 starts but could improve if cheekpieces have positive effect.

620 Wolves – Avonlini – 11/2, Hills, Boyles Appeared to be running in to form last time in a race that has worked out well and has a good draw from a prominent runner today in 2. Course and Distance form when ridden by a male jockey reads, 3312 and has won off this mark before having been generously dropped 2lb since her last run. Little Perisher and Mr Skipton definite dangers. Wins to runs ratio is a tempers enthusiasm slightly and may well try and lay off at low odds in running.

21.20 Wolverhampton: Saint Thomas @ 7/1 VC Still a maiden on the All-Weather but was four times placed in six starts. He's down to a very handy mark compared to what he has achieved in the past. He finished second to Sir Boss almost a year ago over course & distance just 1½ lengths beaten of a mark of 75. He's 13lb below that mark now and has to have a very decent chance to win finally a race again. He had break after a couple of poor performances in last summer and autumn but that can be only a positive as he's best fresh in my mind.

Wolverhampton 19:20 Miss Purity Pinker 1pt win 12/1 Bet365 Still a maiden, but run a very good race in Lingfield recently. was second behind Superplex. She travelled very well, unfortunately she was forced to race wirde in the turn because Arabian Flight, who unseated his rider, came in her way and she couldn't get a clear run. The filly runs usually at the front, which is also an advantage. I think 12/1 is massive price for this horse, has value for me.
