Horse Racing Bets Friday 30th December 2016

[SAMOAN]

2.00 Taunton - RULER OF THE NILE - Fair on the flat and some promise in both hurdle runs to date. Does need to improve, but not sure the 66's is justified.

2.05 Fairview - ISTAS - . Blinkers added. Good signs in last couple of runs and is 1 from 2 over c & d. Early 40's just looks too big.

2.45 Fairview - ACE ANTONIUS - Nicely weighted on best form and couple of fair efforts from 3 visits to the track. Would have needed his poor comeback run and has smart previous form. Should be competitive with Gavin Lerena in the saddle.

3.20 Newcastle - FOOLAND - On a career low mark and down to a class 6. 3rd run back so should strip fitter and possible improver at 25's.

 

[SAMOAN]

2.45 Fairview - Adding ANGELUS BELL at 25's, as is the probable front runner.

 

[SAMOAN]

No domestic action tonight, so Lucky 15 for Greyville -

4.15 LADY BOK - Two moderate efforts this c & d, showed pace last time and may improve from better draw today. Would have definitiely considered this one at a reasonable 25's, so really no choice at an inflated 66's.

4.55 ACCIDENTAL TOURIST - 2nd run back. Disappointing latest but tries the poly now and is capable this trip.

5.25 THALER POINT - Below par latest after showing good signs, may improve back in trip and should be able to lie handy.

5.55 OVER SURE - Moderate recent form but drops in class and unbeaten only run this track. Early 25's looks a shade big.

 

[SAMOAN]

3.35 Greyville - Going with 3 in this maiden and at the prices, could do with the forecast -

RAW COURAGE ( Eased last time when well fancied, stable in form and 8's looks big )
GROUND BREAKER ( Improving nicely and well drawn to attack )
WHITEWATER RAPIDS ( Nicely bred newcomer, who represents a top stable. Interesting at 25's )

 

[SAMOAN]

6.25 Greyville - KUTLWANOSLOVE and WILLOW GRANGE - Very opening looking race and going with this pair at 12's and 16's respectively.

6.55 Greyville - ROY'S PAST and SCOTCH BRIAR - RP was in good form prior to last time and hopefully can rsume progress at 4's. SB is more speculative, but is nicely bred and has hinted at promise all 3 starts. Blinkers added and possible improver at 50's.

7.25 Greyville - DANCE MANIA and RACE MASTER - DM has bagged a good draw for his debut and is certainly bred to be decent at 33's. RM has 3 moderate efforts to date, but tries the mile and may do better with the blinkers added.

Winner with GB at 9's. WR drifted like a barge to 66's, but ran a nice debut in 5th and looks one for the notebook.

Running late so still the last to come. Willow Grange won the 6.25 and Roy's Past won the 6.55. Sadly no forecast in either. For said last race, Dance Master was 11's on the early prices, but opened 5's. Dance Mania has drifted to 50's
