5.15 Cheltenham - 2m 1/2f NHF

CORONER'S REPORT - 9/1 bog Bet365

Might be worth a punt here, obviously a tricky bumper to solve but Rebecca Curtis clearly targets this race, her last 5 runners in it have finished...

2011 - 2nd 40/1
2012 - 2nd 5/1
2013 - WON 7/1
2014 - unpl 7/2
2015 - WON 16/1

Hard to evalute it's form as it's from points but worth a small bet I think.

3.05 Turffontein - MASTER 'N COMMANDER - 2nd run after a rest. Needed comeback run, will strip fitter, and would expect better this company

MNC a comfortable winner at 6's. Still some South African races left across 2 cards and going with the following -

3.25 Kenilworth - FLASH FIRE - 2nd run back. Below best in comeback run, but should strip fitter, has been up against some decent sorts previously and remains lightly raced. Possibly a shade big at 10's.

4.00 Kenilworth - MY WORLD - Fair sort at best and returns to favourite track.

4.15 Turffontein - ICY AVALANCHE - Moderate since last win, but has placed this trip, well drawn and remains nicely weighted.

4.25 Doncaster - PRYING PANDORA - Won five-runner Leicester maiden in July and then ran OK off 73-day break at Musselburgh latest. Not that much to find at 15/2.

4.30 Newbury - LIMELITE - Bit to prove on h'cap debut and would need to re- produce his debut run to have a chance. Lightly raced and probably capable of better, so happy risking the 33's.

4.45 Punchestown - KATIE DO - Improved out of all recognition last year, rattling off a hat-trick; pulled-up latest on 2nd run back, but does take a while to get fully wound up. Tough task today off top weight, but still plenty of appeal at 8's.

5.15 Cheltenham - BRILLARE MOMENTO - Form of debut 3rd looks OK and did have a Mullins runner behind. Probably needs more here on the back of a 111 day lay off, but could prove dangerous getting weight all round. Adding our beloved leader / ruler / emperor's pick of CORONER'S REPORT, along with CITY NEVER SLEEPS, for a potentially very nice forecast

4.05 Cheltenham - ANTEROS and FOR GOOD MEASURE - The former looks big to me at 25's and the latter looks solid (if fit coming off a break )

 

[SAMOAN]

4.35 Kenilworth - Just the one at a price, so could do with a minimum of the forecast -

DIVA FEVER ( Nothing on debut run, but solid since and was a good maiden winner this trip, faces better today but still lightly raced )
CORKER ( 3rd run back. Two pleasing comeback runs, cherry-ripe & can feature )
INDIGO STORM ( 2nd run back. Excuses in latest after good previous win this distance, may bounce back and still not badly weighted for one that has won 2 of last 4 )

Shocked by the price of IS and fair to say a tad disappointed by the result of the photo. Also got one beat a short head at Cheltenham.

1st (5) 10 Boomtown Belter M J Byleveld 18/1

2nd (9) s.h 4 Indigo Storm Oswald Noach 50/1

3rd (4) 1¾ 2 Harakiri Craig Bantam (9) 13/8f

4th (3) hd 7 Corker Anthony Andrews 6/1

BM ran a cracker, but sadly it was a neck defeat, to add to the pair of short heads. Granted even luck, one of the 3 would have come out on top, but that's racing
