Horse Racing Bets Saturday 22nd April

[SAMOAN]

All the afternoon action is on ITV / Racing UK and so ATTHERACES is going with live coverage from South Africa. There are 2 meetings today and one assumes that both are being covered. Looks like they will be missing the first couple from Turffontein, with live coverage starting with the 12.05. Going with a L15, in 4 of the races, multiple horses in 3 and no bet in the other 3 -

12.40 Turffontein - MOMO - Recent form all reads well and comes here off the back of a nice little break. Hopefully been freshened up and looks a fair EW shout at 14's.

1.15 Turffontein - AMAZING STRIKE - Step up in trip looks fine and comes here in good form. Showed a good attitude to win last time and a similar effort would make 14's look big.

2.45 Turffontein - INTERGALACTIC - Bit to find at the weights, but won 2 from last 6 and holds a very good record over the c & d. Definite EW chance at 16's.

4.25 Turffontein - MINNESOTA - In good nick and does possess enough speed to win this at 6's.

11.30 Turffontein - BOMBS AWAY and FRISKET - BA is on 3rd run back, is tumbling down the weights and has won over the trip. Last time behind Dragoon reads well and would expect a decent effort at 14's. Frisket is more speculative and does need to improve on last 2 outings. Drops back to the minimum though and does possess speed, so certainly cannot rule out at 50's.

12.05 Turffontein - OHIO and NORDIC REBEL - Not too concerned by the unraced sorts and both picks have done well to date. 7's looks fair in both cases and would expect both to be competitive.

L15 for the 2nd SA Meeting -

12.15 Kenilworth - FOREST PRINCE - Better than recent form suggests and EW shout at 12's.

2.15 Kenilworth - COMMANDER BOND - Shade of odds against, but can't see much to beat it.

3.30 Kenilworth - LINE BREAK - Chance at the weights and looks a worthy alternative to the odds on.

4.35 Kenilworth - ASHFAHAN - Inconsistent sort, but every chance at best and comfortable risking the 16's

1.15 Limerick - Going with 3 in the opening Maiden -

BILLYFAIRPLAY ( Nicely bred and just cannot ignore this debutante at 150's )
CORNHGHAIRDEAS ( Fair form and gelded since last run. Fair place chances at 11's )
SHAMAD ( No improvement on 2nd start, but testing ground a possible reason. Hopefully can resume progress at 12's )

 

[SAMOAN]

8.15 Wolverhampton - COMPETITION - Always a tough ask for an older horse in Maiden company, but we do at least know that he has some ability from his truncated bumper career. Definitely worse 150/1 shots out there.

8.45 Wolverhampton - BELMONT BELLE - Not beaten far on comeback run, but needs to improve for tackling this longer trip. Interesting EW option at 33's
