Sandown - Saturday 5th Feb

[ken678]

1.30 Sandown - Binocular - LAY Betfair 1.20 (£799 available at 03.42) 2.35 Sandown - Punchestowns - LAY Betfair 1.30 (£4382 available at 03.42) Have expressed my views on very short priced things before. Both of these should win but the prices? I think it highlights it even more if you think the DOUBLE is barely 1/2 and they have 20 obstacles to negotiate with decent opposition for Punchestowns - and with Binocular a season that has not gone well - though the opposition appears extremely moderate in his case. Both may well win - but at these prices I'd prefer to be the layer not the backer.

Re: Sandown - Saturday 5th Feb 14:05 - LAY According @ 2.00 BF Horse could be alot better than these but a few of these runners such as Anak, Rajamand, Diktalina have proven form already and I'd be more inclined to back them, yes According looks to have useful flat form but I just couldn't back this one at evens, how many times do we see these flop? 14:35 - Final Bid @ 201.00 Ladbrokes (bog) E-W This is not a serious punt, its just I'm working on the basis that it would take two of the top three horses to fall and this horse to put in a clean round of jumping to get some place money, I think the horse has slightly better form than the other no hoper Commanche Dream. Punchestowns put a clean round of jumping in LTO but on second chase start could still be vunerable. Tchico Polos fell LTO so he is not sure to put in a clean round, Pocket Aces has either fallen or pulled up in three of his last five starts. Every chance that both of them could fail to complete again which would leave one of the outsiders to step in. 15:10 - Racing Demon @ 19.00 Skybet E-W Could be worth a shot here now back on a more competitive looking mark, let's not forget this horse is a previous runner up in a grade 1 at Cheltenham and although the horse has not been running in great nick I wouldn't rule him out, back over hurdles LTO where beaten around 20 lengths, he may start to enjoy life over hurdles again. 15:40 - According To John @ 9.00 Coral (bog) E-W I like this horse alot and follow in every time he runs in these races, a couple of 3rd's in last two runs, often runs a sound race and a similiar performence should be expected here, deserves to find a race soon. 16:15 - Panjo Bere @ 7.50 Betfred E-W Has some classy form in the bag with a previous grade two wins to his name, didn't run to badly LTO, dropped 2lb for that run though and should be in the mix in this.
