Saturday 21 February

Just about ahead this week. Football bets let me down for once, and my first foray into seeing if my new-found National Hunt edge had a Flat application went badly.  Need to keep in control today.


Kempton 2:00
I'll back the small stable against the big stables, that's usually where the juice is. Save on Bivouac.
Beltor 9pts win at 3/1
Bivouac 3pts win at 5/2

Beltor mighty impressive. If you won on him I can't see why you wouldn't take the 12s for the Triumph. 




Kempton 3:45
Dart-throwing, and worried a couple of them will get outpaced.
Le Reve 4pts win 9/1
Tenor Nivernais 2pts ew 14/1
Ballinvarig 2pts ew 14/1
1pt total combined forecasts  and 1pt combined forecast the Tom George pair.

Le Reve game 2nd. The other two never got into it as I feared.




Newcastle 4:05
This would be close to my midweek betting, though more competitive than I've been aiming for. 
Need these two to bounce back but, to be honest, I did put Announcement in as favourite.
Announcement 9pts win 7/2
Faerie Reel 3pts win at 3/1    

Announcement travelled really well until getting squished two out. Faerie Reel saves the day. Decent enough profit and the third Saturday in a row safely negotiated! 

And chuck 1pt at an accumulator or two.
