Re: Pontefract - Wednesday 4th August 3.40 Pontefract Chilly Filly is another that looks a tad overpriced at 7/2, Johnston has 3 of the 7 runners in this handicap and this looks first string on jockey bookings and looks the most reliable and progressive, she won really well building on a promising run on first start for 454 days, has some useful form on ground with some cut in it, up 5lb but looks on the up and possibly able to defy that. 1pt win chilly filly 7/2 pp 4.10 Pontefract Galpin Junior has slipped down the weights after a promising Juvenile career and signs of revival on last 2 starts with a 3rd and 1st in claiming company winning comfortably and the second has since boosted that form with a bold show in a handicap today (Raccoon), career low mark in return to handicap company and looks to have been revived by new yard could be more to come! 0.5pt e/w galpin junior 8/1 bet365

Re: Pontefract - Wednesday 4th August 16:10 Pontefract Nice looking race this where many hold claims. Mr Wolf has been priced up the early favourite and he really is a true course specialist, winning at the course 8 times in total with 5 of those coming over today's course and distance. He has also placed a further 9 times at the course from 24 runs so hes only had 7 unplaced efforts out of those which is very impressive. He runs off a 6lb penalty today though which should make things tougher for the old boy but I wouldn't be surprised if he was to go in again considering he has won off higher marks at the course previously. Chosen One looks on a fair mark after notching up a hat-trick in Spring and then boucning back with a win LTO after a few bad efforts. Remains unpenalised for that win due to the fact it was an Apprentice race. Select Committee and Supermassive Muse have both been fairly frustrating to follow as of late but I just feel there is definately a race in both of them at some point in 2010 but today is not their day for me. That leads me to last years winner King Of Swords who landed this race off a 1lb higher mark last year before following up with another win over CD off a mark 4lb higher then a win at Beverley over the trip off a mark 8lbs higher. Started the season off a mark of 70 and has came tumbling down in the weights and is now on a mark of 55. Couple of placed efforts recently suggesting he is coming back to form, especially over CD on his penultimate start where was 2nd to Mr Wolf off the same mark as he runs off today so a 6lb pull in the weights should see a reverse of form from that half a length margin between them that day. The race at Beverley LTO maybe came a bit too soon for him as it was only 2 days later. Richard Mullen takes the ride for the first time today which seems an interesting booking, especially since he doesn't ride for the trainer very often. 1pt E/W King Of Swords @ 6/1 (Bet365 - BOG)
