THE BETTING STRATEGY
Year to date: -15.08 points
Saturday 05 February 2022
Current Mood Won 2.67 yesterday. Mario De Pail finished
3rd but may have done better if only his jumping hadn’t let him down again.
Plenty of decent racing today and hopefully our selections will give us a decent run for our money.
PROFIT OF 0.64
POINTS
All Selections are settled to Betfair SP
12.50 Wetherby
Dancing With Deco 1 point win
I might be totally wrong about this, but I think that Alastair Ralph has a very nice horse indeed in Dancing With Deco. He won at Exeter on his hurdles debut and although he has to beat the Dan Skelton hotpot, Our Jet,
here, I believe he is capable of doing so.
1.05 Leopardstown
Hollow Games 1 point win
If there’s one thing that Gordon Elliott’s Hollow Games seems to possess then it’s stamina, which is why I think the extra two furlongs he is being asked to run since 3rd last time out, is right up his street.
Grand Jury finished ahead of him last time, but this extra distance should benefit my selection.
1.15 Sandown
Rikoboy 1 point win
A winner over 17f at Market Rasen last winter, Rikoboy ran well after 10 months off when second at Wincanton 4 weeks ago. I’m expecting him to improve for that run and the six-year-old gelding will appreciate better
underfoot conditions than he experienced at Wincanton. Trainer Dr. Richard Newland has obtained the services of Sam Twiston-Davies to ride the selection.
2.05 Musselburgh
Cool Mix 1 point win
Trainer Iain Jardine has got Cool Mix back to his previous winning mark and he looks to have a great chance here. Calipso Collonges often runs in better company than this and rates the main danger following his good
third in the Tommy Whittle at Haydock, while Glen Forsa is also on a decent mark and the drop back in trip will suit. However, although Cool Mix doesn’t win as often as he probably should, I’m taking him to get his head in front here.
