Kempton 8:40 - Pecking Order

tread with care if you are having any thoughts of playing Perth. Summer jumpers are out but its pissing down in Edinburgh and the rain is moving North East toward Perth so by the time it kicks off it will be pouring, well thats my theory.

I quite like this one too

Gonna back this straight and then take a double with Shades of Silver (place)

appears to be dry at Perth, flipping weather forecasters stealing money when they take home their pay at the end of the month

Captain Dion is going to enjoy the going at Catterick

R4 Fairyhouse Enter The Red E/W. A lot of these will have been expecting quicker conditions, but the selection goes well with cut in the ground and comes here on the back of a good third in a slightly stronger race at Naas last week where things didn't entirely go his way. Ran well on his only previous course appearance and is very well drawn (a low draw is crucial here). Can make the first four and 10/1 or bigger is a nice E/W price.

fancy Desert Strike in the opener at Kempton. 4-time course winner. Latest win at Lingfield in May. Creditable third of 8 in handicap at same course (5f, AW, 5/1) 11 days ago. Ideal draw for his attacking style, could take some pegging back.10/1 atm

One more for today - delayed posting this as wanted to see the price first. R5 Bath Burguillos. I don't usually put up one as short as this, but the selection will take a lot of beating in this weak maiden. Acts with cut in the ground and his third to Ulysses on debut is streets ahead of anything his opposition has achieved. Ran well next time in a strong maiden at Doncaster over tonight's trip and has a nice draw just off the inside. Has been drifting all day, which is a bit puzzling, as a result of sustained support for Cloudberry, but the latter has to find plenty of improvement on his Newbury debut last October to beat the selection. Bet365 and SkyBet are going 11/10 Burguillos. I could end up looking a complete fool (not for the first time), but I think he should be 4/7 in this.

Less said, the better. Over and out for a few days.

How depressing is this shit weather. If it does not improve over the next few days I am going back on holiday

^It's freezing in SA too.

And we whine about results in SA racing.... last night was equally bad - uk wise.

I'm getting killed here.

Quick march X george potts = my last bet for the eve - got 14/1 the double.
