Diary: October 18 2007

It was a slightly frustrating day over the jumps today with 3 of the 4 runners from our list to follow finishing in the runners up spot.  At least Gentle John and Calgary Bay ran as though there will be races to be won with them.

 

The only runners from our list to follow in the UK tomorrow are both on the flat.

 

Wyeth runs in the 4.40 at Nottingham.  He is a half brother to George Washington but to be honest he does not have a great deal else to commend him.

 

Monashee Brave has not shown a lot of form this season but his last run, from a bad draw at Newcastle was an improvement.   He has a good draw in the Nottingham 5.10 and he has slipped down the weights enough to be given an each way chance.

 

Evan Williams won the award for top trainer at Ludlow last season.  He is well represented at the Shropshire track tomorrow where his best chance might be in the bumper at 5.20 with The Hairy Mutt.

 

Over in Ireland in the 2.45 at Punchestown,  Sizing Africa represents our list to follow. He showed good form in bumpers last season with wins at Gowran Park and Fairyhouse.  He is probably my best bet of the day.

 

In the 4.45 Slash And Burn should come on for his recent 4th at Roscommon and looks each way value.

 

See you tomorrow
