There look to be some good trading opportunities today with horses that should trade lower “in running”. Clearly the ideal is that the horse wins so that gives maximum return for a free bet / trade / arb. If they don’t win, then the lower they trade “in running” the better.

7.00 Catterick – Smalljohn – an out and out front runner in a small field usually offers good trading potential. In addition he runs over a C&D (course & distance) that favours front runners.

8.30 Catterick – Lost in Paris – another front runner this time over the minimum trip. If he leads early and is still leading after 3f he will trade much lower.

5.30 Bath – Blessed Place – is not getting any younger but he tends to blast off and trade quite a bit shorter “in running”. Unlikely to win but at a current price of 24.0 he should offer money making opportunities ”in running”.

5.40 Newcastle – Dhhamaan - looks likely to grab the rail early and should trade lower “in running”. Is likely to be around 4.0 so the scope for making a decent amount from trading will be harder due to the price.
