BBOTD - Thursday 3rd Jan 2013

[robertob]

15.50 Lingfield: Spartic @ 6/1 Bet365 Spartic ran very well in his last two outings but the most recent run really caught my eye as he had a bad start and was racing very wide as a result of that throughout the whole race. He was then forced to turn even wider for home thanks to a badly to the right hanging rival. Yet Spartic really finished the race in great fashion in 3rd place and probably would have gone much closer in different circumstances. He gives the impression of a well handicapped horse as this performance was a few pounds better than his current mark I suppose and despite being on a long loosing run I think it's worth to keep faith in him.

Re: BBOTD - Thursday 3rd Jan 2013 14.00 Ayr - The Hollinwell Looked a good prospect when winning a 'jumpers' bumper' at Southwell back in February, and followed that up with a couple of fair efforts in top company, including a 3rd place in a 17 runner Group 2 chase at Perth in June. Has been running below par since return in October, but now has the potential to bounce back off a much more realistic mark. Overpriced considering the obvious potential that this horse has. ​1pt win @ 16/1 Bet365
