    All that said, I know fcuk all about the sand racing - be interested to hear what EC, gigs, SJ think.

    before Gracefilly ran at Chelmsford I had her as running to her mark on 14 nov..which was 55..she then didn't stay 11 at kempton..but the win at Chelmsford was a large overall speed figure of 72..i've not kicked in there yet with sectional marks as need more data but that was a decent run.

    So she has 6lb in hand on overall time figure but the problem i have is that Chelmsford form at the moment looks specific to there..a bit like Southwell. She may hack up but it wouldn't be a surprise if she got beat..then went back to Chelmsford off 66 and there would have 6lb in hand at the track we know she can produce it.

    Personally i wouldn't play today..but that is just me...then hope she finishes 3rd or worse..then get a better price back at Chelmsford

    TOWCESTER 2.50 - SANTAS SECRET. Any improvement on first 2 runs should see him very competitive here and the team think he will be suited by conditions. Should be able to take this comfortably.

    One bet for me today on the sand.

    7.10..Anniversaire.

    On the last 2 runs she has shown she is capable of winning off a mark of 58/60..looks to be improving between runs too..55 ...2 runs ago and 60 last run..runs off 51 so looks a decent bet here.

    5.2 at the moment

    Won't get rich backing him but True Story looks like a solid fav in the 5:40 at Meydan.

    Sticking him a lucky 15 with some of the tips on this thread for todays racing, for a bit of fun.

    Interesting runner in the last at Southwell is Clockmaker, think this horse has been run recently in order to get it's mark down, they have messed about over 6fs with it when i'm pretty sure it's best form is over 7fs. Have been waiting for it to drop into a 0-75 and class 5 over 7fs but wasn't expecting it to be at Southwell. Has had only the one run here just over a year ago when btn 11 lengths over 7fs in a class 2 h'cap off a mark of 95! A bit inconclusive to say wether he'll act here but i have to back it in this grade off 73, EW about 10/1 or bigger on betfair. Good luck if you decide to play.

    What a price nearly 16/1 on betfair, as giggsy would say, you can't beat the clock!

    i can list 200 horses on a thread tomorrow that will win in the next 12 months..then wait until they win and brag about out it..actually having the bottle to say whether they will win today though is two different things

    Is this a slight dig at somebody Ec1!

    no Stew...just pointing out the difficulty of picking the right day...even when you have a good handle on the level a horse is capable of

    nothing more than that really

    No worries EC1, just sounded similar to another thread on here!

    Notice Kakapuka goes in the next, 1st time in a 0-60 class 6 race, hasn't shown much lately but did win at a massive price for us this time last year, may have a little bet but usually runs best at Kempton on the AW.

    Wolves 710 Robben looks a decent shout e/w in a awful race bits and pieces of form the run at Newmarket wasn't bad travelled well got some 17 B/f earlier the nause for me is the jockey fanning

    I notice EASTERN WITNESS is out today at Chepstow 2.55 ....I shouldn't touch it really as it is a frustrating horse.........but it is dropping down in distance that may suit it today

    Won't need to wait until the 31st of February to find a winner Sheena West's gelding looks a steering job today against a bunch of rags

    If there is a danger it might come from a Peter Grayson trained horse which should tell you how bad a race this is.

    Feb Thirtyfirst 0/30 looks big to me
