Kelso Friday the 11th January

I am excited , the first race at 12.40 sees the hurdles debut of BEST PROSPECT owned by a really nice guy Davy Neale , this horse travels like an express train and then sometimes disappoints. This is a classy race with the well touted CHARLIE TOKYO, STARTING POINT and the classy future chaser BERWICK LAW in opposition. The long run in at Kelso will be ideal for sitting and wait tactics for this quality hold up performer from the flat, with ground in his favour he is a good bet at double figure odds . The horse must however be laid in running to get out a profit as he will come there swinging on the bridal but might just not find anything !- 3pts win at 11.0 or better with lay for 8 pts at 1.21 in running. RESULT 2nd at 9/1 bet at 14.5 , lay in running matched at 1.31


The More Battle hurdle is a good race with plenty in with chances , the recent runners at Ayr STORYMAKER and FIRST LOOK might both be running too quick but I did think that STORYMAKER might be tempting at a double figure price if looking well in the paddock- I thought he just needed at Ayr and was pulled up and not knocked about. STORYMAKER NON RUNNER


The last race looks a good bumper with TEENAGE KICKS looking like a good horse but I will be looking at an each way bet on the Moffat horse in the same race as he ran a blinder on his debut at Haydock LETS GO GIRLS.
RESULT: LETS GO GIRLS wins 10/1
