The proper stuff.

I drew a blank yesterday with the best being SIMPLY BEN who finished 4th in the bumper at Kempton. Never mind, today is another day, and I cannot go a Saturday without a flutter, and
what a brilliant days racing we have ahead of us today, with some proper horses and proper races.

My bets today:

1.55 Newbury - SANFROID @ 8/1 EACH WAY
This fella's last win was a long time ago, but I'm risking some pennies today, confident on him getting a place. He's been very consistent over his last few runs and last time at Warwick he was a close third behind the seemingly improved Mobaasher, and the more favoured stable mate Alfie Spinner.

2.25 Newbury (AON) - MAHOGANY BLAZE @ 25/1 EACH WAY
I know, I know, but he's becoming an old friend of mine. I'm a bit gutted there's only 7 runners, so I'm counting on him running on for 2nd. That's if he doesn't unship his jock! I honestly think he's out of his depth today against this company, but I'd be the fool if he pulled it off and I didn't have at least a 50p ew bet on him.

3.00 Newbury (GAME SPIRIT) - No each way here for me as only 6 runners. Fancy a rev f/c TCHICO POLOS & I'MSINGINGTHEBLUES

3.35 (TOTESPORT TROPHY) - Ok I've gone for three. Yes three. This race has done my head in over the last 24hrs. Initially I wanted to go with TIGER O'TOOLE but I've decided last time was definitely a fluke.
So these are my 3:
-RECESSION PROOF @ 14/1 EACH WAY
Unexposed, but stepping up against some better company today. Has to prove himself but worth a risk.

-PALOMAR @ 33/1 EACH WAY
Great run in the Lanzarote. Great each way price, and big field will not bother him.

-DRILL SERGEANT @ 25/1 EACH WAY
Can't believe he's such a big price. Yes there are better horses in the race and doesn't look the simplist of sorts, but asides from a bad race in the Lanzarote, he's done very little wrong in my eyes.

Ok... 4 then.
- SIRCOZY @ 80/1 EACH WAY
Just a shot in the dark seeing as Gary Moore does very well in this race and is in smashing form at the mo.
