This is reasonably amusing, and is especially for Jeremy. You know who you are…!

Happy Friday, dear reader. Especially so if you’ve been following the lay advice in this column over the last few days. Two more losers yesterday made it four from four for the week.

Better still, they were both odds on, at 8/11 and 4/7. Which means not too much risk on the liability side.

I use a couple of key criteria to find my lays, both of which are in the excellent (I’m beginning to like it more and more as time passes!) Racing Secrets [Exposed] guide that I reviewed here a couple of weeks ago.

You can read the review (if you haven’t already) here.

Regular readers will know that I was planning to start tracking another lay product, called the Bank Vault Report, today. Unfortunately, I don’t have time to set that up today, but will certainly be ready to share it with you on Monday.

Today’s action looks good. One of my alternative Ten To Follow lines up at Brighton. The horse is called Crossing The Line and is trained by one Sir Mark Prescott. Three runs over six furlongs last year, and here he is running over a mile and a quarter. Its a classic Prescott setup, and I’m expecting him to finish better than 8th for the first time in his career.

On the laying front, there are a few that look worthy of opposition, and I’ll mention just one here.

I’m going to oppose Speedy Senorita in the opener at Catterick. She has finished second on both her starts, and is trained by the in form Karl Burke with the excellent Frannie Norton doing the driving.

However, the form of her two runner up placings is moderate at best, and the Portman filly, Pretty Bonnie, arguably achieved more in her sole start to date. I do have a nagging doubt about this daughter of Kyllachy handling the very fast ground, and there is no such reservation about the Speedy Senorita, whose debut was here on firm turf.

Style Award was only beaten half a length by Burke’s filly when both were making their debuts here, and this young lady has arguably the more progression, given that she has only had the one run, to SS’s two runs.

I think Speedy Senorita can win this race, but I also believe that there are at least two with experience who can also win it. And that’s even before you consider the debutantes, some of whom are from good stables. At around even money, she is one to be against for me.

Best of Luck to you, and I’ll be back later with some Friday Fun…
