BBOTD Monday 12th

[cpo]

7.00 Thirsk - Smart Daisy K 1pt win @ 8/1 Bet365 This horse arrives here in great form and this represents a drop from class 2 to class 4. She ran a good race at Chester behind Riskit for a Biskit from a 2lb lower mark. She runs here off 85 but I feel there could be more to come from her, especially now dropped in class. Paul Mulrennen is in good form at the moment as is Andrew Hollinshead. This looks a competitive race and there could be plenty of pace on, which could suit this horse who does have the tendency to pull in her races. She is the top weight but she does have an excellent chance.

Re: BBOTD Monday 12th 4.15 Wolverhampton Race lacking much depth with most of these got plenty to prove. Excellent Jem has had 12 attempts at getting head in front a failed so far gone a bit closer recently but not the most reliable and blinkers need to bring out a bit more. Glenridding isn’t getting any younger but he got his head back infront at his beloved Thirsk, his other favourite course is around here with 6 wins from 34 starts. The 2^nd badly let the form down at Southwell last week and a 6lb rise looks extremely harsh and not a regular winner these days. Powerful Pierre was well backed last time out and failed to pull in Reginald Claude who has since ran a stinker of a race under penalty so hardly promoted his chances given he now has to race off a 3lb higher mark, has won off higher marks but needs to show more to score again. Flowchart has won off this mark earlier in the year over 6f around here but not totally convinced over this trip in the past and appears to have gone badly off the boil. Direct Trade did catch the eye last time out meeting trouble in running before staying on well off this basement mark, step up in trip should suit based on that. Does now need to backup that up if he does everychance he could place. Its hard to looks past Angel Cake here she has really got her act together recently, she has scored like a good thing the last twice including over this CD on penultimate start and the extended 1m around here last time. 7lb higher here and drops back to 7f again but if in the same form she should prove very hard to beat despite yet again getting a poor draw. May be a favourite but looks good value at 9/4. 1pt win Angel Cake 9/4 bet365
