Result: Irish eyes were smiling yesterday 1st @ 8-13

one4racing Saturday Patent: 27th October 2007

Well, the Tote Scoop 6 jackpot was won by a single ticket last week - sadly not ours. Those of you that followed our selections would have been excited after the first leg came in at 20-1. However, it was all down hill after that I’m afraid.

This week we’re back to the one4racing Saturday Patent with:

Aintree, 355: I hear Thunder
Chepstow, 2:55: Gungadu (Nap: Last time out Gungadu ran over 33f which proved a trip too far, falling at the second last. Today he is reunited with Ruby Walsh and more importantly back to thepreferred trip of 24f. )
Stratford. 2:05: Lawyer Des Ormeax

By The Edge runs in the 4:55 today at Ayr.Won at Wolves six days ago and with jockey J P Spencer on board to day has every chance of repeating that success, the opposition isn’t that challenging.

Todays Nap Wednesday 24th October

Santando 2:50 Folkestone is to days nap. First time at course and distance but this Peter Bowen trained horse appears to have very little competition in this three mile plus race, with T J O’brien on board her usual Jockey, she should romp home to an easy win.

Result: No contest 1st@4-9

Tote Scoop 6 and best bet of the day

The best bet of the day (Saturday 20th October) is Notnowcato, Newmarket, 3:15.

We will give the one4racing patent a miss this week in favor of the Tote Scoop 6. Now, if you select 2 horses in each race it will cost £128!! So why not have a Scoop 6 with all our 1st choice selections and another with our 2nd choice selections, this will only cost £4.

Leg 1, Newmarket - 2.05: Miss Lucifer (1st choice) & Duff (2nd choice)
Leg 2, Cheltenham - 2:20: Ofarel D’airy & Red Ruffles
Leg 3, Catterick - 3:05: Matsunosuke & Oldjoesaid
Leg 4, Newmarket - 3:15: Notnowcato & Speciosa
Leg 5, Cheltenham - 3:30: Black Hills & Bishop’s Bridge
Leg 6, Newmarket - 3:55: Inchnadamph & Samurai Way

Good Luck

Nap for Tuesday 16th October

Lady Gloria 3:40 Leciester is to days selection. Won at Sandown in May with TP Queally on board who rides her again today, as a team they have never been out of the first three. The going should suit her.
