Carlisle 25/05

[RussP]

2.55 Carlisle Still paying 4 places for this 17 runner, Class 5 handicap over 6f. The first 7 currently in the betting occupy 7 of the top 8 stalls and its with those that I will be concentrating. Sea Rover is favourite on the basis on 1 run only and I question its ability to reproduce that effort so this is a fav worth taking on. Tangerine Trees is a consistent sort but may struggle to get its head in front off a similar mark as many of its recent runs. This leads us to the bet in: Mey Blossom (10/1 Corals) - Top weight here today but capable of defying that burden today. Races off a career low mark and is dropped into Class 5 company in search of its first win in 12 months. Only last term, this horse was racing off a mark in the low 90's and has been tried in Group company so this significant drop in mark and grade make this horse a welcome betting proposition. Trip will be fine, although all its winning has been over 5f, but has been campaigned over 7f recently so this drop will suit. Doesn't seem to enjoy extremes of going and all its best runs have been on genuine good ground which it faces today. 2 runs this term have been encouraging, without being spectacular, and they should have put this horse spot on now dropped into 0-70 company for this first time. Interesting jockey booking too for this run who is 2 from 2 at the track. Taking a valuable 5lb off, this could well make all the difference. Has a decent draw, trip & going will suit and should make its presence felt here at decent EW odds.

Re: Carlisle 25/05 CARLISLE:

1. Mr Smithson 1 point e/w 9/1

Horse has been unlucky with the draws its had and todays aint exactly ideal but we think he's got a nice race in him and no inside info on this one he just looks to have a very good chance at a very nice price.

1. Sea Rover 1 point e/w 8/1
We got told last time he would run a nice race and he's a different animal after his break we also got told he would be a lot better next time out which is today we will stick with them comments and advise a 1 point e/w bet!
