think the handicapper is taking the mick in this race,feverish pinsticking for me,was not gonna post,as i see only one dog getting a clear run.the 1 dog has never hacked it in a2,at here or other tracks,but was very tempted to pick it,as it has got a slow starter outside,which could just let it be inside the 3 dog at the 1st bend,dont fancy the first 3 in betting,tipping trap2 EW,AS ITS THE ONLY ONE I CAN SEE GETTING A RUN LATE ON.

hard race for sure,good luck all. Fingers Crossed

Looks like its the 3 dog then zephyr for you! I may just watch it, i'll see! Defo gonna watch it in the bookies tho. Wish more people shared an interest in dogs. Oh well! The best way to promote interest is success. So lets hope for a reasonably consistent amount of winners doing this. Fingers Crossed

Group 3 Class
been laughing since seeing the result,the only one not mentioned,

,but the race backed up my comments,handicappers maze,i picked the 2 dog,as it was the outsider at tissue price,and then missed race betting saying 6 dog was outsider,as mr.martins said on one of the other threads,he hadnt thought they do that,.but sad to say.your first bet down,lets see if we can do better tomorrow, Fingers Crossed

Watched the race in the shop. 3 got out but was beaten for early by the 5 and 6. 4 then proceeded to baulk the 3 dog. I wouldn't say it was badly tho. Im pretty sure the 3 dog is an out an out front runner after tonight. Nevermind, lets see how we do tomoz.

Another hard race to rate but personally, if I had to play, I'd go for Trap 5, Adamant Maldini

Now then, i've applied machines philosophy of thought when contemplating tonights chosen contest.

I'm happy to rule out T1 and T3. I would imagine mr grader is expecting the 5 dog to be favourite. This dog does look good to be fair. For me tho, im happy to take it on as he has failed in 9 previous attempts at A3 level.

The battle for early supremacy looks between 3, 4, and 6. I'm happy to eliminate 6 from winning on the basis that i dont think she'll run as quick if not leading. I'm pretty sure 3 and 4 will have the edge around the first two bends. I expect 3 to wilt under the pressure of an upgrade. Just don't feel she'll sustain the gallop tonight.

That leaves just Trap 2 and Trap 4. I'm gonna hesitantly go against the 2 dog. I fancy Trap 4, Angelas kiss, to blow these away off the last bend. She should be near the front through out. I hope she improves enough to win. T4 ANGELAS KISS! Kiss (Thanks Very Much!)

Ps - This is a tough race to call! Confused

I totally agree 22. Proper wrecked my head! lol! Already, we have 2 different opinions! That dog racing. Cheeky

I am selecting races totally at random. Just looking at the racing post site and picking the first one that jumps out. No idea whether they will be hard or easy races to pick from as dont actually look at form until I have selected race, but every race has gotta have a winner and it's all part of this challenge!

I also feel the 4 dog should be upfront throughout and could find enough improvement to win this so I'm with you smartins. My pick T4 Angelas Kiss

have to agree to the basic analyse of trap 4 angelas kiss,BUT,after going through the previous form when all dogs start at this track,if they win in the first 6 races ,they get hammered,and win on average 8 races later,for instance,the 3 dog,won its 5th race,and for whatever reason had to retrial 4 times,and then run 8 times before winning,seems harsh,and will the trainer and/or,owners be prepared to do that, Confused

,as i cant make a case out for any other dog 4 it is
N/C..TRAP 4
ANGELAS KISS
as it is the name of one of my previous wives,i need to cross my fingers now, Laughing

,good luck. Fingers Crossed
