BBOTD - Monday 7th October

[robertob]

[b]16.30 Wolverhampton: Sylvia Pankhurst @ 11/1 Bet365[/b] Since winning a good class 4 Handicap at Chester (form works out well) she lost her form, finishing down the field in three subsequent starts. However that's been really good races, as she contested even in a Listed race, and it is fair to say she is better than these forms suggest. She had a little break since August and is of high interest now returning to the All-Weather where she improved rapidly earlier this year, winning three times, including two course and distance wins. She looked to have loads in hand when appearing the last time on the All-Weather, when she won a handicap at Lingfield in really good style off a 6lb lower mark than the current one. She can probably improve on this surface again and it is interesting to see her coming back after her little break fitted with a visor for the first time. She has a nice draw tomorrow, which is important in these sprint races around Wolverhampton and this should play into her hands taking into account that she loves to race handily. All in all 11/1 looks too big, particularly with Martin Harley booked who rides Wolverhampton extremely well.

Re: BBOTD - Monday 7th October 5.20pm @ Windsor 'Legal Waves' 9/1 (Hills) This horse has been showing decent enough speed over shorter and just not getting home but there doesn't look to be any attitude issues, just a little lacking in stamina at this young age. It's gone close a few times and indeed the horses that finished in front of it (Goodwood Mirage, One Pekan and Glorious Protector) are no mugs and have all run credibly in better contests. Tomorrow's is an open race but I definitely think this is overpriced at 9s. Jimmy Fortune pillar to post. 1 point win
