    5.45 Newcastle, Set Piece, laying. Around 1.8 at the minute. Wasn't impressed with the first run even though it won. Seems a hot little race today and at 1.8'ish a definite lay!

    Many thanks, Reet. I’m susceptible to a good story and as usual that was a good one from you.

Star Cracker has only been racing on the all weather from December 2017, just over a year, which isn't a lot of time, (in racing terms). The fact he races off an identical mark to his turf rating of 51, when he clearly isn't as good on turf, may mean there are more races to be won with Star Cracker on the all weather. He won here at Newcastle four starts ago on a mark of 49, then went up three pound to 52. He's been dropped a pound to 51, so warrants a bet at 8/1 or thereabouts.
    Races in fifteen minutes at Newcastle. I have backed him again.

    Nice shout Reet, I am on one of those National Express coaches on a marathon journey to Victoria so I didn't back it but well done anyway, sir.

    4.45 Kempton White Coat, around 2.7. Having a max win bet on this. Apparently the last run was a prep, whether you can believe that or not is another story but I was told it won't be beat today. Starting to bite my nails!

    Saturday [2.10 Fairyhouse]

    Cubomania

    Gordon Elliott has won this big handicap the last couple of years, and no surprise to see he has four of the ten runners here. But I like the one that isn't a Gigginstown horse, he knows where the winning post is and ran well on Boxing Day.

    For what it's worth, while Cadmium looked like he'd run at Fairyhouse, the one that I was most afraid of was Kildorrery.
    The older I get the better I was.

    Alsvinder (1.25L) had his first ever try at 6f over this track 2 weeks ago and, though he attempted to make all at a reasonable pace, was narrowly outsped by Merhoob in the closing stages.
    Now Adam Kirby knows he stays I'd expect him to set more even fractions today, and ought to comfortably reverse that result.
    Looks a cracking bet at the current 6/1 (Lads).

    Only had one bet today, well 2 bets in the same race. 2.40 Kelso. Bracka Lily, Got stuck into this for a win @ 3/1 with the bookies. Still bits of 3's around and also in the same race I layed Choochoobugaloo, around 2.45 at the minute. Good luck to anyone who's betting today.

    Fivetwoeight (6.45K) comfortably won a similar contest over C/D 3 ago and was raised just 2lb for that effort. It's his latest run that's the eyecatcher, though.
    Dropped back in trip in a strongly run 5f, he ran a blinder, and was closing at the death. Runs off same mark today, but back at his regular distance; hasn't run for 80 days, but has performed well (twice) previously, when returning from longer.
    Well worth a poke at the general 6/1.
