THE BETTING STRATEGY

Year to date: -24.13 points

Friday 11 February

Rewired finished 2^nd but was well beaten by the winner and Alkopop was back to his sloppy jumping and made so many errors that he did well to even finish 5^th.

LOSS OF 2.00 POINTS

All Selections are settled to Betfair SP

4.05 Kempton

Smarty Wild                                1 point win

We’ve backed both Smarty Wild and Mellow Ben on a number of occasions and though I’m loathe to desert the latter now he’s back over fences and on a decent mark, I really think this race is ideal for the Phillip Hobbs horse who has a decent record at this course and who will appreciate every yard of this three mile trip.

4.15 Bangor

Monte Igueldo                            3 points win

Now that he’s dropped back in trip, Monte Igueldo could get really competitive here. He’s finished 5^th on his two previous hurdles starts. He lookedquite useful in France when 2^nd at Auteuil and I hope he transfers that form to this race today.
