Punting for the Christmas presents

Posted by David on Dec 1st, 2008 in Racing Tips | 0 comments

The betting bank was again topped up at the weekend when it was a fourth consecutive winning Saturday for Daily Dust punters. Following a few losers during the week, normal service was resumed with three winners obliging from four bets – the yankee almost landed!

An updated log of all the bets given here so far can be seen below, but enough of the crowing, let’s crack on with Tuesday’s action.

It has to be said that it is pretty low-grade stuff, but a 3-1 winner pays the same whether it be Cheltenham or Lingfield, and it is the latter venue that provides the first bet of the day in Muktasb (1.30).

Some of you may recall this consistent sprinter who was advised here a few weeks ago when finishing like a rocket, but all too late. Some horses need to be ridden that way as they like to pass other horses which gives them confidence, but makes life tricky for the jockey. However, Adam Kirby who has ridden him the last three times when placed, but can finally get it get right today.

Those of you with a nervous disposition may not want to watch the race as it will be a tense final few furlongs, so viewing the result may prove a safer option!

The next race on the card should be more straightforward with just the six runners where Rulesn’regulations (2.00) can follow up his victory at Wolverhampton a month ago.

This juvenile made mincemeat out of another of today’s rivals, Satwa Street, that day and can confirm that form of the same weights, while the remaining four runners – two of whom are unraced – will have to produce something special to halt him.

The final bet comes an hour later at the Surrey venue where in-form jockey George Baker – who delivered the goods on one of the Daily Dust’s Saturday winners Millfield – can showcase his talents on Titan Triumph (3.00).

There is no great story behind this colt other than that he has won his last two outings over course and distance and is still favourably weighted on a handicap mark of 76 having won off 75 last November.
