Flat Racing > Thursday 15th November

*The Strig > Kempton 7:55 > E/W @ 16/1 Bet365 BOG* This looks far too big. Yes, the horse has never won over 7f, but it is a two-time course winner and it will get trip, as it showed spark at this trip last time out when 6th to Scottish Lake, but a very close 6th only just over 1 length behind the winner. It runs off the same mark, and this is a gambling stable, so we will know what the horse's chances are tomorrow when it drifts or gets backed, but i will take my chances at 16/1.

Re: Flat Racing > Thursday 15th November Short write up today sorry! 12.20 Southwell Six Wives has the potential to be competitive but yard remain very quiet at present and would like to see more from yard especially as she has been below her best last few starts. Drawnfromthepast is 1 from 1 around here although that came in a seller, has been in good form on polytrack recently and if as competitive in handicaps on this surface should go well although never sure stall 1 is ideal over this trip. Monsieur Jamie is an interesting runner returned to this surface as he is 4 from 10 around here. He has dropped to 1lb below his last winning mark over CD, slightly better effort last time out is encouraging although does come with some risks attached having refused to race here in March. 2pt win Monsieur Jamie 8/1 betfred 2.20 Southwell Avin a Good Time should be hard to beat on the form he showed last time out when thrashing weaker rivals than todays over, that form isn’t anything special at all and 12lb hike in the weights is a tough and certainly not one I want to be taking a short price about. Sleepy Blue Ocean offers a little bit of E/W value, he caught the eye running a better race last time out than perhaps suggesting staying on nicely. His last win over CD came off just a 2lb higher mark but his ability to handle this surface is a definite plus and Luke Morris in the saddle for a yard who have enjoyed some success again over recent months having endured a awful start to the season. 1pt e/w Sleepy Blue Ocean 12/1 lads
