Racing Chat Friday 17 December

[The Equaliser]

I hate these early starts to racing: Here is a quick Trixie.  I will be looking at Ascot soon.  I don't think I will attempt a Trixie there as it all looks a bit trappy.  Instead, I will look for some types of so-called value bets

My Trixie today is:

11.40 Uttx Eureka Creek 6/4                  (Gazette Bourgeois is all the rage and appears to be a big danger)

1.25 Utts Will Sting 4/1                         ( French Du Large is the pundits favourite but looks uneasy in the betting)

1.35 Sou Cloud Thunder 6/4                 ( Once again the big boys are promoting another horse called Author's Dream but Cloud Thunder looks solid)

1 x 4 point win Trixie = poss return of 62.50 points

Back in a bit with the Ascot selections

Well, Eureka Creek ran a stinker

1.10 Asc Soldier Of Destiny 1 pt win at 6/1

1.45 asc Karl Philippe 2 pts win at 6.6 (should be 1 - 1.5 pts but couldn't resist the Exchange price))

2.20 asc Colonel Mustard 1 pt win at 8/1

3.30 Asc Authority speed 1 pt win at 9/2; saver bet of 0.5 pts at 2/1 on Top Dog

1.25 Uttx Will Sting 1 pt win at 4/1 to try and rescue stakes on my Trixie

= Total stakes of 10.5 points

The 6.15 at Kempton looks interesting; there is good money for Animal Instinct at a best price of 3/1 but the favourite Uzincso is well supported at a best price of 2/1.  Not much wiggle room to make a profit so I think I'll leave the race alone.

Good luck to all intrepid punters taking a hand today at the races

Terrible day so far

3.30 Asc Top Dog 4 points win at 5/2 to try and rescue the day
