THE BETTING STRATEGY

Year to date: -18.82 points

Tuesday 18 January 2022

Eden Du Houx finished 2^nd yesterday but once again I’m going on one of my favourite rants. What is the point in putting in all the work I do to find our selections only for a race to be turned into a farce by the omission of a number of fences? It’s supposed to be a steeple chase, not a glorified flat race with only six fences to jump. Absolutely ridiculous! Our day made a slight profit when Somekindoffstar Won 3.2.

PROFIT OF 1.16 pointS

All Selections are settled to Betfair SP

3.25 Newcastle

Kaizer                              1.5 points ew (4 places)

3.40 Exeter

Keep Moving                1 point ew (5 places)

Analysis

3.25 Newcasstle

I’m not sure trainer Ewan Whillans knows exactly what to do with Kaizer. Last time out he had cheekpieces on but now they’re off again. The selection was 5^th of ten at Kelso in that last run and he’s weighted to win this on his best form so hopefully, he’ll at least make the frame.

3.40 Exeter

It’s pretty hard to make a case for Keep Moving here. He’s not won since 2019 and he was last of six when last seen out, at Wincanton. Yet he has won three chases and I doubt Phillip Hobbs would stick with him if he didn’t think there was some ability there.  We’ll take the risk and hope he shows better form and at least places for us.
