Hi Folks,

I should have stuck with my original selection, CURRENT OPTION, especially as he drifted to an SP of 11/2, rather than looking for a value alternative.

Hopefully I will return with a selection, or two for next Saturday.

All the best.

Rob.

Hi Folks,

This will probably be my last selection until next weekend, as the racing is fairly poor quality this week.

4.10 Galway (Sunday)

I was planning to back CURRENT OPTION, who has won the last 2 renewals of this event, but he is too short at best odds of 4/1, so have decided to support LORD DUDLEY instead.

Although he has mostly raced at shorter distances he has won twice and finished second from 3 attempts at around 7 furlongs and is worth an each way play at 8/1 with Bet365 (5 places).

Hi Folks,

Another each way return from GREAT AMBASSADOR who finished sixth at an SP of 16/1. He actually ran better than his finishing position, as he was drawn on the wrong side of the track and was the first home of those emerging from the bottom half of the draw, despite being bumped when the groups merged.

Hi Folks,

3.20 Goodwood (Saturday)

GREAT AMBASSADOR finished third in this race last year and ran a nice preparatory race when finishing seventh in a Group 3 at Newbury a fortnight ago. Hopefully, he can reward each way support at 10/1 with William Hill (8 places).

Hi Folks,

I have a couple of selections for Friday.

3.00 Goodwood – LAWFUL COMMAND 0.5 pts each way at 14/1 with William Hill (7 places)

6.35 Galway – BABY ZEUS 0.5 pts each way at 14/1 with Bet365 (5 places).

Hi Folks,

I was disappointed with MY MATE MOZZIE, not because he was beaten, which is just a fact that has to be accepted when backing horses, but I had chosen him as his past performances had suggested that he was likely to be given a prominent position, which is often beneficial over course and distance, but instead was held up and never got into the race.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the link to the article, which I have previously read. I fully understand why many punters swerve chases due to an increased risk of non completions, but I have always worked on the basis that some I will win and some I will lose and as the majority of my NH profits are achieved over fences, I am inclined to accept the additional risks.

All the best.

Rob.

Hi Folks,

Jumping is the name of the game, but I wonder what would have happened had FIRE ATTACK not fallen when leading and still going well at the fifth last fence in the Galway Plate?

Shame that we will never know.

Rob.

Hi Folks,

5.05 Galway (Thursday)

MY MATE MOZZIE appears to have plenty in his favour and can hopefully reward each way support at 9/1 with William Hill (7 places).

Hi Folks,

Was unable to login yesterday afternoon and as suspected my Galway Plate selection has been tipped up by Pricewise. I secured 0.5pts each way on FIRE ATTACK at 8/1 with William Hill (7 places), albeit 15/2 is now the best odds available for 7 places.

All the best.

Rob.

Hi Folks,

I was planning to offer up PIERE LAPPIN in the 6.40 at Galway tonight, but unfortunately my thoughts have coincided with PRICEWISE and whilst I still think the horse has a fair chance, there is no value in backing him around 6/1, when 14/1 was available yesterday afternoon.

I shall post my selection for the Galway Plate before 6pm tonight, as I suspect my thoughts will again coincide with PRICEWISE, so again the odds will be slashed.

Rob.

Hi Mike,

Well done with DARKENED, on which I was able to secure a reasonable each way bet.

FAROUT ran well under the circumstances, but may have been done better if held up and ridden for luck.

Rob.

[Robmull]

Hi Folks,

6.40 Galway (Monday)

FAROUT 0.5 pts each way at 7/1 with Paddy Power (6 places).

All the best.

Rob.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your kind words, but I would point out that I have never thought of myself as a professional, just an enthusiastic amateur.

Please don’t sit back, as you have a real gift for finding profitable selections at big odds, which is an area that I have never mastered.

All the best.

Rob.

[Robmull]

Thanks Joe,

I hope you had a few quid each way on them both.

Overall, I picked up 4.20 pts profit on GALE FORCE MAYA and got my money back on DARK SHIFT.

My next selection will be on Monday in the QR handicap at Galway.

All the best.

Rob.
