Big Race Selections 2015

[santos_]

Thought I'd do this for the season focussing on the better quality racing in 2015. Not using any systems for this one just my own personal thoughts and views. Will post selections on the bigger/better races and probably the better races during the week as most of the grade, group stuff is on weekends (outside of the festivals). Stakes will be between 2pts win to 0.5 pts each way depending on price. So onto this Saturday...(All bets with BOG) Lingfield 1.45 (Cleves Stakes) Go Far (1pts win, 6/1 Bet365) Good return lto from a break after being held up out the back made good strides late on to finish a close 4th of 7. The manner in which he stayed on was pretty eye catching and with Ryan Moore booked that another plus today. Kempton 2.35 (Pendil Novices Chase) Irish Saint (2pts win, 2/1 Bet365) Cracking race in prospect with a few who take the eye. God's Own has been a bit disappointing the last twice but may be too soon to write him off but I'd rather just watch him today. I'm siding with Irish Saint today though who although was beaten fair and square lto he was mightily impressive two runs ago at Ascot and has won around here, conditions should suit and everything points to a good showing. Newcastle 2.55 (Eider Chase) Summery Justice (0.5pts each way, 18/1 Bet365) A big field to contend with over the marathon trip but the one I like here is Summery Justice. Was third lto at Kelso but was behind Lie Forrit and Harry The Viking who both boosted the form by running 1st and 2nd in the Grand National Trial last weekend. He likes these marathon trips and also has a decent level of form in these big fields but would need to probably raise his game to win but makes appeal as an each way bet. Kempton 3.45 (BetBright Chase) Fox Appeal (1pts each way, 7/1 BetVictor) Comes here in great form and just came up short lto at Ascot finishing behind Rebel Rebellion but the way he travelled in that race was impressive. The 3 mile trip over the bigger obstacles may be a slight question mark but he has twice won over the trip over hurdles so that doesn't bother me too much. Ritchie McClernon has ridden him twice with one win and that second lto so glad the combination stay intact here. Fox Appeal has also got good course form winning twice and also has a second placed effort from 4 visits to the track.

Re: Big Race Selections 2015 Well a mixed start on Saturday...But profit made. Irish Saint was an easy winner in the end hit with a rule 4 though but did it pretty easy once Melodic Rendezvous was dropped. Summery Justice ran a cracker in the Eider (20/1 sp) and just made a slight mistake at the last that might have cost him the win but 2nd was a top effort and each way money back. Go Far was never able to get into it at Lingfield while Fox Appeal unseated early in the Betbright. Go Far: Raced wide close up, ridden and weakened over 1f out, 8/10 Irish Saint: Made all, 2 lengths ahead and going strongly when left in command 12th, clear when bad mistake 3 out, pushed out run-in, eased towards finish, unchallenged, 1ST of 5. Summery Justice: In rear, pushed along 5th, headway 6 out, ridden to chase winner and not fluent last, kept on, 2ND of 18 Fox Appeal: Held up, Blundered and unseated rider 6th. Returns for day = +2.2PTS Selections = 4 Pts Staked = 6 Winners = 1 Placed = 1 TOTAL P/L = +2.2PTS
