Best Bet of the Day - 10/08/08

[Verisimilitude]

MAGGIE KATE 2.30 Windsor. LAY. Racing Post SP 5-2. She's weighted to need a repeat of her recent best, so with surely pressured for the lead in this race and with the cut in the ground not ideal, she should struggle here. A few others are slightly better weighted on this ground, therefore she can only be opposed at 5-2 whether she goes and wins or not.

It’s very rare I back anything ridden by Jamie Spencer but his mount here, House of Lords, looks to have a very good chance running off 78. He drops in class after contesting a class 3 handicap at Newmarket LTO, and although he was a 6-length 4^th of 11, he was up against some much better horses. 3^rd, Glorious Gift had won off 80 going into the race and has ran well off marks up to 87 subsequently. 2^nd, Masaalek, continues to progress and has run well in every run since (and those races have been much better than this). He is now rated 100. The winner, Yaddree is also rated in the high 90’s and has run well in soon tough races since too. So, bearing in mind House of Lords was only half a length off Gllorious Gift, he looks to have excellent claims running off 78 here providing the going does not inconvenience.
