After a brief break in France I’m now looking forward to a proper early season day’s racing tomorrow. This is the time of year when picking the early stars can be very profitable before their odds shorten. So the cards under scrutiny are Wincanton, Aintree and Naas. (Stars equal unit bets.)
Wincanton
12.20 Wishfull Dreaming 7/5 *
12.55 King of Glory 7/4 **
1.30 Arpege Dalene 6/4 (nap) **** (this one will win)
2.05 No bet
2.40 Kayf Willow 5/1 *
3.15 Francis Of Assisi 11/2 *** (best value bet)
3.50 No bet
Aintree
12.45 Definite Outcome Evens ***
1.20 No bet
1.55 Broxbourne 7/2 **
2.30 Simonsig 15/8 *** (was going to oppose but the price is too good to miss)
3.05 De Boitron 8/1 * (a speculative punt)
3.40 Germany Calling 5/4 **** (a confident selection)
4.10 No bet (too early for bumpers although I will watch the market)
Naas
1.25 Petite Parisienne 8/13 **** (next best)
2.35 Sub Lieutenant 11/8 *** (excellent value)
3.10 Disko (1/3) ***** (today’s only 5 star selection)
At £10 per unit the outlay is £350.
If you want a lower overall stake I recommend a Lucky 15 as follows:
Arpege Dalene (1.30 Wincanton)
Definite Outcome (12.45 Aintree)
Germany Calling (3.40 Aintree)
Sub Lieutenant (2.35 Naas) or Disco (3.10 Naas)
The potential returns are £119.27/£15 Sub Lieutenant and £82.15/£15 Disco plus all the place options, doubles and trebles.
Good luck!!
