20/8/2012

morning all,you notice ive missed the good off today,monday mornings are really not my favourite time of the week but they come round just as quick as a saturday afternoon so we'll have to make the most of it,the one thing i would like to add is,this blog is for information purposes only,it is where i can go & put my thoughts/bets for the day for the world to read & either agree or disagree,as was yesterday when i went head to head with the well known twitterati tipster @glennphil2012....and we came out of the battle well & truly with egg on our faces,mince broke well out wide & to be fair the others didnt see which way she went & group races beckon for the charlton filly,i would like to think im a sporting loser & credit to those that backed mince.so onto today,ive targeted the PLACE markets today at thirsk & think i might have found a few gems.

today's PLACE lays are...


  1. dispol grand                                 3.00 thirsk
  2. mistress of rome                           3.30 thirsk
  3. it's a mans world                           4.00 thirsk
  4. fine altomis                                   4.30 thirsk 

we'll start from the top,dispol grand goes in a C4 h'cap today,with a record of 0/7 in the grade & he does seem to have a preference for softish ground which personally i dont think he'll get today,but the final & biggest nail in his coffin today is he's had 9 races off a mark of 68 or above in his career...and has yet to get his head in front,so off a mark of 76 today i cant have it at any price.mistress of rome has a very different profile & the reason for laying this is the trip,over 12 furlongs today and being by holy roman emperor he's not going to get any assistance from the breeding side & watching re-runs of his performances upto now i wouldnt say it would relish the step up in trip at all,also being on a career high mark after a string of placed efforts certainly aren't going to help matters.it's a mans world is a bit of a puzzler tho,having been picked up by brian ellison he's won a couple of  low grade h'caps off a mark of 52 but takes a massive weight hike upto 64 today,now he's had 10 runs off marks of 60 & above...and yes you guessed it,has yet to get his head in front,i accept ellison has found some improvement upto now but this is going to take a herculian task to defy the handicapper today,so onto our final selection,fine altomis,again the problem i have with this is the trip,his two decent runs were over further & off a lower mark,today's 7F trip & a mark of 76 will combine to trip this gelding up today,good luck with whatever your backing or laying today & thanks for reading!
