Re: Best Bet of the Day-29/1/09 2.30 Towcester DECREE NISI (EW) Worth an EW interest to return to form tomorrow off an OR of 95 having struggled running off 100+ recently. Won a class 5 event at Kempton last March on soft ground off a weight of 11st 12lb. Followed that with a 3rd 11L behind off a rating of 102. Has been stepped up in trip recently & now interesting that the horse is back over the minimum distance. Ran well at this course when 3rd 1.5L behind the winner off a rating of 100. The key for me is the drop in the weights to OR95 & the return to 2m from 2m 4f. Should be around 16/1
