Cheltenham & Doncaster, Saturday

[richard-westwood]

Not a lot on racing wise in the week so ill focus ill the big saturday racing .  Bit early as this race currently has about 40 entries but average is around 20 runners so you can expect half these to drop out before the weekend but ive passed it through for those interested in ante post 

No planning    99.35

Dolatula     99.30

Distime     99.27 

 

Very interesting result actually .. and totally not what I was expecting ..  lots of talented horses entered for this and top three rated are ..  20/1   25/1 and 50/1 !!

Like I said .. field will cut up and distime particuly off his current low position mught struggle to get in if others above hold their ground .. ..no planning represents sue smith who I greatly respect in  long distance races ....I know they think a lot of this horse and have been expecting a big run from him this year possibly culminating in a shot at the grand national ....but so far he hasnt delivered  but has shown hes definately got talent if he can get going ....big factor is because of lacklustre form hes been ignored by the hcapper has has been alloted a very generous mark for this which is obviously what the computer has spotted .. if you forgive his  last run seems to hold a lot of cards and at 20/1 is looking a huge value bet 

Dolutula also has big chances here ..classy horse on the day and perfect type for this especially given he ran so well last time out and has a decent racing weight for this so has to be respected and im surprised to see him priced up at 25/1!! ... .

Overall im tempted at this early stage to chance a small ante post bet ...could end up losing it but I know sue as mith has had this race targeted and if the field does cut in two ....are you going to get 20/1 and 25/1?....I think not so ill chance it now and see if distime gets  in later

No planning   2 pts win 20/1 bet365

Dolatula    2 pts win 25/1 willh
