Best Bet Of The Day - Monday 21/04/08

[mowgli77]

Generous Boy 2.40 Pontefract (EACH WAY) Most likely winner of the race may be Silver Waters as it looks to have been crying out for a step up in trip, having been staying on in a few of its races but all its form is from the all weather and this will be a completely different test on turf and on this course. I feel the value could be with Generous Boy. It is handicapped on 3 poor efforts over inadequate trips but 1m4f could see this horse in a totally different light. Also has to prove it goes on this type of surface but out of Fantastic Light and that won on soft and good to soft. Well bred for these types of trip and relatives won over similar distances. Seems like a value each way bet in a race where many won’t get the trip and some are even out of sprinters yet running over middle distances.

Re: Best Bet Of The Day - Monday 21/04/08 Pont 3.10 Knot in Wood 0.5 pts e.w Not easy to be top weight in any handicap but especially one that looks as competitive as this one. However this one has earned that status with some good performances last year, one fantastic win in similar conditions when it romped home, a good third in the stewards cup and even when upped in class it ran with enough credit in group/listed races. Should be sharp after a couple of runs now including a second lto the two beaten horses have run well out of since, useful claimer on board for a yard doing reasonably, no better than that and well capable of a place at the minimum on ground that should suit.
