BBOTD 3rd May!

3.10 Lingfield Shirataki was never quite getting there when last seen and although that was a good run a further 2lb rise makes things tougher again and this mark just about looks his limit at his best. Kittens was largely respectable last year and managed 2 wins, slightly strange we didn’t see her over the winter given she was last seen winning at Wolves over this trip, up 4lb and clearly open to progression but needed the run last year so wary. Gabrials Hope is a tricky customer with just 1 win from 11 and that was last time out, he is up 4lb and will need to settle better than he did last time out. Hard to see past King Olav, he has taken a few runs to come to hand after a lengthy layoff but he had slipped a long way in the weights, he won a handicap off 91 at his best and beat Fox Hunt in a conditions race, was allowed to race off 64 last time out and cruised in hard on the bridle for most of the way, a 6lb penalty would look to be a drop in the ocean if he can repeat that sort of form again and not only that very useful Twiston-Davies apprentice takes off 5 of the 6lb and well drawn in stall 2 to get to the front again. 1pt win King Olav 7/4

Re: BBOTD 3rd May! Fri 3rd May 2013 4.00 Musselburgh (6 runners) This looks like it could be a David O'Meara 1-2, with strong preference for GANDALAK who won very nicely LTO at Newcastle and should continue his improvement and take this. He kept on in all his 3 starts, which suggests he should be able to deal with 7f. Tudhope takes the ride and can continue the stables excellent form from yesterday where they had a treble at Redcar. GANDALAK 1pt WIN @ 6/4 (BOG - BetFred)
