Best Bet Of The Day 14/12/07

Calgary Bay 3.40 (0.5 pts Each Way) Could be a star but could also be another Harchibald. Travels really well on the bridle and is often cruising through its races but is not finding a lot at the business end. Probably needs to be held on to until the last minute and has a top jockey on board that will not let the horse give up in AP McCoy. Saw this at Uttoxeter and fancied it but it was 2nd, hanging and not holding on. Ran again since and was 2nd again, travelling strongly and many comments about how nice the horse looks, also highly thought of by Hnerietta Knight. Has run on good, good to soft and soft so no ground worries and no concerns over the trip. There will be plenty of support for Snap Tie and I'msingingtheblues but this can't go unnoticed or unbacked. Hard to know what price to expect the night before as the McCoy factor will attract money but the 16-1 expected SP looks too big to me. Needs to improve but more importantly needs to finish its races.

Re: Best Bet Of The Day 14/12/07 1:05 Doncaster. Dundridge Native. 1 point LAY Potentially a risky lay. This is likely to be a popular selection following two recent very easy wins. However, it is easy to forget that this is a handicap, and he has been given much more weight for his successes. Furthermore, and maybe significantly, his best runs all seem to come when there is some give in the ground. Writing this overnight, he seems unlikely to get such going, and the likely starting price could well represent poor value.
