Back from the gym, dear reader, and my head is somewhat clearer.
Time to escape the murky waters inhabited by sharks on bicycles, and revert to what we all know and love best: dear old horses.
Alas, again, I can’t find anything to get excited about. It really is pretty mediocre fare this week. (Fear not, though, for Glorious Goodwood is next week!)
At Catterick, there is a pretty strong draw bias towards high numbers, and a rag with a squeak is Northern Candy in the 4.20. He’s only had four runs, gets weight (for age and claiming price) from most of these, and has the best of the draw.
His best run was last time, and might improve enough to hit the board at around 50/1. In a race full of professional losers, I’d rather tickle at an unexposed one than plunge on the favourite.
Elsewhere, and the Laying System selections today are:
Catterick 5.50 Rare Coincidence
Leicester 6.45 Art Master
Let’s hope for a change of fortune on what, thus far, has been a pretty miserable week in that department.
As promised, later I’ll be posting the introductory synopsis for a little alternative form study series I’m writing. Warning: if you don’t like my verbosity, look away now… (or at least then).
For now, ciao
Matt
