Saturday Punt 07/12/2019

[Togo]

Morning punters. A bit milder today after a cold spell early in the week. Some hot racing as well. I see that the ITV7 has stayed with it's weird listing again in that they are not in race order but the different meetings are lumped together. Damned nuisance done like that as far as I'm concerned. They have also ignored a very good race at Aintree and left races in with small fields. How strange. Still, it does not pt us off and I have done the ITV7 and the small stakes 7,6,&5 timers.

One For Arthur @8/1 1.30 Aintree
Protektorat @9/2 2.25 Sandown
Flying Angel @9/2 3.15 Aintree
Royal Vacation @10/1 3.35 Sandown.

£1.00 E/W Acca. 50p E/W Trebles. 30p Win Doubles. Singles on the first and last.

ITV7 the bottom 3 of the above with Grand Sancy 1.50Aint. Operatic Export 2.05 San. Native River 2.40 Aint, & Politilogue 3.00 Sand. Cover can be taken later if it all goes pear shaped, it would be nice to get a touch just before Christmas.

Not far behind you today, Togo. I'm relying on the old mantra, 'horses for courses' to boost my Christmas spending power.

1.30 Ain; Walk In The Mill @ 17/2
3.15 Ain; Ultragold @ 6/1
3.35 San; Step Back @ 9/2
4.50 Wol; Star Of Valour @ 11/2

Win singles, 20p L15, £1 e.w. acca. 4 placed = £33, 4 winners = £2,716.

ITV7; Midnight's Gift*, Native River, Ultragold, Nube Negra*, Protektorat, Defi Du Seuil* and Step Back. £1 e.w. acca and those * in a Trixie/Treble.

Also done a little each way single on Solstice Star @ 20s in the 1.25 Chep. Absolutely loves this course.

Best of luck with yours.

The win singles returned £80, the L15 double returned £31.30 and the Trixie double returned £11.25. Add to that the straight forecast (Sammy Bill x Fixed Rate) in the 12.30 which returned just short of £40 and it's been a very decent day with the nags. :-))
Not so the football. The Clarets getting soundly thrashed 5-0 by Spurs :-((

That is good enough any day Ken although better still is welcome. I was hopeless today. I need to get a handle on the NH form, and swings and roundabouts trends if I am to wrestle a bit of lucre from the enemy. We both know that the day I ignore form, trends, advice and common sense and just use grandma's pin to pick is the day I have a winner or two. Well done today Ken.

Don't know if you watched the ITV7, Togo, but i'm sure that, at the end of the coverage, one of the presenters said that next week's ITV7 is on Friday?

[Togo]

They sometimes have an ITV7 in the week Ken. Even at the night racing on dirt. Must say I do not bother usually but will look out for next week. The Saturday 7 opens at 12 noon on Friday as well Ken.

That may be what they were on about then, Togo. It happened a few weeks back if i remember correctly.
