Warwick 31/12

[punterpete]

12.50 El Batal ew Deep Reflection ew Looks to be a competive heat on paper but will back the two selections ew. El Batal reverts to hurdles after scoring over fences on decent ground at Plumpton way back in May 08. Been off the course for 599 days and will be interesting to see how he goes today. Deep Reflection looks to be decently handicap here despite poor run at Leicester last month. 1.50 Arctic Shadow win Has been off the course for 149 days since finishing 2nd over hurdles at Newton Abbott back in August. Just prior to that had fired in a quck fire hatrick in July, two wins in Novice handicap chases and one in a handicap hurdle. Returns to fences today and has the stamina to see this out for the in form Tim Vaughn stable. 2.50 Afistfullof pebbles ew Seems a bit of a long shot but was going well at Chepstow last time out before being brought down. Makes me think maybe O'neil has got the bottom of this one and with champ on borad today could be interesting at a decent price.

Sport	Horse Racing
Event	2.20 Warwick
Selection	Miss Overdrive
Strength	10/10
Date	31/12/2009
Bookmaker/Price	Sportingbet @ 2.60 (Back)
Reasoning	Finished a good 2nd in a hot novice last time just beaten a nose and the step up in trip clearly suited. Faced with the same conditions today and although comes up against an in form Silver Kate, she receives a stone in weight from that horse and this is a much tougher race than the one Silver Kate won last time out anyway. I would price Miss Overdrive around 11/10 or 5/4 so this price looks good value in my eyes.
