Best Bet of the Day - Tues 29th April 2008

[cc75]

4.20: Wincanton: Font - WIN Weighted to reverse last time out 1 length beating by today's likely fave Turfshuffle. Nicholl's only runner of the day - form of stable, the usual, outstanding and could prove to be a good value bet for the win. :hope

Re: Best Bet of the Day - Tues 29th April 2008 BH, spot on yesterday. It's the end of the month and those of us in the red are trying to get into the black with big prices :ok 2-30 Southwell - Apres Ski - each way Nothing has a chance at the weights against the favourite, but Apres Ski rattled up a hat trick over a mile last year, twice on turf and once on the AW. Tried a 9 furlong run at Wolverhampton and made headway until 2 out then no further progress. Next two outings on turf had the word 'soft' in the going and he hated it, so they can be ignored. The two rags are only here to make up the numbers (he said bravely) so in the bookies it's an each way bet for the first two places. With the favourite (9 years old btw) very likely to get one place,. the 2nd place is a 4 horse race, and hopefully that man Fenton can get Apres Ski there. He can start slowly, so that's not a major problem. The gambling Fahey stable have not backed their nag (yet), and trainer Bowring has stated that the best trip for Rambling Socks is 7 furlongs. As for Betfair punters :- Befair pay three places for this race but the price is poor at 2.82 at the moment (2.94 15 minutes ago) If he starts slowly that will soon drift, so it may be worth trying to lay him at 2.84 - 2.88 and back him after a furlong at over 2/1. Good luck to all :ok
