Best Bet of the Day 07/06/09

[Lars]

A terrible day racing, and in fact this is shown with my selection. 14:20 Worcester Alwaysablue has a small chance of a place in this one. Is a very headstrong horse, and almost uncontrollable at some points. Seems to lead from the front a lot then weaken in the final furlong. This shows that the raw speed is there but the stamina isn't. I'm making a wild guess here, but it's results have been slowly improving and it could be improving further if it can be kept under control. Will be around 30/1 as the field here is of an "ok" standard especially for an opening race. With a couple of fallers this horse might do alright and surprise some. 0.5pt EW

Best Bet Of The Day ~ Sunday 7th 220 Worcester : Santia Looks a match up between Gloucester and Santia and good reasons to side with the King horse here. Won a class 3 race at Ascot in the Heavy and also won easily at Fontwell before taking on a Class 1 handicap at Cheltenham, ran ok there but maybe didnt stay up the hill and was sent to contest the Grade 3 mares race at Punchestown which she finished in the pack. This is much easier and back to two miles which maybe a bit sharp but the rain will have helped her chances no end as her rival Gloucester would prefer better ground. Gloucester won on the flat recently at Windsor on Gd/Fm and previously a hurdle also on Gd/Fm when a 2/5 shot, a very weak race. They both carry double penalties but Santia gets the mares allowance of 7lbs and I have her 11lbs in front on my ratings so is still 4lb well in on form alone.
