Used to tip professionally in the early 2000's, now doing it just for fun. I enjoy mostly horse racing (fav. horses include Kazzia, Goldikova, Bogart, Sky Lantern), football, tennis and US Sports. I like writing anything from a novel to a couple of poems and songs. Multitasking in writing is the best supplier when you get that inspiration rush!

Hometown Bound

Win

A winner on debut in November of last year with the same jockey on board. The win was at a lower level and on sloppy dirt at Laurel Park, so expected to progress.

17:30 Bournemouth v Arsenal
Arsenal
50 WIN
@1.53
Win
26
Bournemouth beat Arsenal home and away last season, and Kluivert was instrumental in at least one of those matches, both in scoring and assisting. This season, Bournemouth looks increasingly like a side fighting to stay up and may soon end up in the bottom three places in this league. Arsenal do have great scorers in attack. If they want to reverse last year's results, they'd have to position themselves as title contenders rather than relegation contenders.

Win

Rose Lisa finished runner-up in her previous race at this track and trip. She might have something to say today with some progression in this lineup, and Flavien Prat is tasked with bringing her home first.
17:00 Juventus v Lecce
Juventus
50 WIN
@1.29

-50
Juventus has a chance to go for their fourth straight win and climb up the table. Lecce has shown L-W-L-W recently but are getting closer to the relegation places each week.
15:00 Brighton v Burnley
Brighton
50 WIN
@1.48
Win
24
Brighton last won vs Burnley in front of their fans back in 2018. Burnley is struggling this season, while Brighton's last five matches have left them winless. Today could be a turnaround for Brighton.
15:00 Southend v Truro City
Southend
50 WIN
@1.35
Void
0
Southend heads into this after two wins in a row. Truro is in the relegation places, though fighting. The home side needs more wins to consolidate or build on their place in the play-offs, so the home crowd could enjoy the home team supplying the goods.
15:00 Wolverhampton v West Ham
Wolverhampton
50 WIN
@2.60
Win
80
This season Wolves are winless in the Premier League at home (never mind in all home or away matches). They did beat West Ham in the EFL Trophy and also have a win versus Everton in that competition. If Rob Edwards is serious about staying and managing Wolves, this is an opportunity to get the first win against fellow strugglers West Ham.
Toluwalase Arokodare
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
@7.00
Open
0
Arokodare is the striker up front for Wolves, and he did score a goal against Arsenal this season. Both teams are in need of points, yet Wolves are in need of a first Premier League victory, so they may strike first.

Masar colt who finished second on an October visit over a furlong here at Southwell. Murphy aboard first time today and better expected now upped in trip.
12:30 Aston Villa v Nottm Forest
Nottm Forest
50 WIN
@4.60
Open
0
Not since 1994 has Forest beaten Villa away from home. The home side has been winning more of the H2H encounters through the years. Villa is a much stronger side, though Forest is in need of a win or some points. After the New Year break they could recapture some of their form, and a couple of players, like keeper Sels, may return from injuries.
Igor Jesus
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
@8.50
Open
0
Expected to figure in attack more often. He supplied the goal to Hutchinson in a recent match, so this time Omari may return the favour and Forest may strike first. He is the loan striker for Forest.

A winner two outings ago with Ghiani on board for Marco Botti. Has a 2nd here last year, lost by half a length. Going up at the handicap mark, though a consistent filly more often than not.
06:00 Brisbane Roar v Wellington Phoenix
Justin Vidic
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
@6.00
Lose
-50
Everything is slowly but surely going for the Roar, and one of the players up front, who is still young at 21 years of age, is performing at a top level. He has just 3 goals for the season, so he could easily get more. Wellington is down the table, so this would be a great opportunity for the youngster to net another one.
03:02 03:02 Charles Town
Professor Grace
Daily Racing

@8.00
Win
10
A filly who won last time out for the first time. Although the level was lower, she could have benefited from the move to the powerful Farrior yard. She was then transferred to the Michael Sandoval stable, a yard who last won at this track a little over two weeks ago, so she may give a good account for the double. Tentative selection.

Trainer Peter Miller had a winner earlier in the day, so he could be on track to have Misty Muppet deliver in this race. Returns to this level, at which she runs consistently in the places, and was once a winner earlier in her career.
15:00 Bristol City v Portsmouth
Bristol City

@1.75

Bristol are inconsistent but sometimes are tough to beat and nick the win. Pompey do not deliver on much-needed occasions, particularly when they travel, so the home side should have this.
15:00 Derby v Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough
50 WIN
@2.40
Lose
-50
After four wins in a row, Boro have struggled to gather points of late. Derby is also a side out of form. At Derby, Boro do struggle to win matches, but this would be the momentum swing for them to remain relevant for the second automatic promotion slot, albeit remote if Ipswich has anything to say about that particular fight.
15:00 Ipswich v Oxford Utd
Ipswich
50 WIN
@1.33
Win

Ipswich have done well to go to Coventry and beat them. Now at home, Tractor Boys should have this. Oxford have not done well on the road, especially recently, so the home side again should have this.
15:00 Preston v Sheff Wed
Preston
50 WIN
@1.53
Win
26
Wednesday seem too distant points-wise to make a run for it, so Preston, who's in need of a win of late. Preston is looking at the playoffs from just outside the important places, and this would be right up their alley to receive the Wednesday players.
15:00 Southampton v Millwall
Southampton
50 WIN
@1.80
Lose
-50
Southampton is another team that needs to bounce back and create momentum their way. Receiving Millwall (whom they lost to 3-2 in the reverse fixture) would be just what the doctor ordered. The last time the Saints beat Millwall at home was way back in 2011, so they're certainly aware of that and need to make an impact on the table now.

Jack Hogan is first time aboard this runner, but the mare has winning form on this type of ground. She was the winner last time out and did so in a workmanlike manner. It won't be a cakewalk, so tentative selection.

Rispoli has a chance of getting another winner on the card. He takes over in the saddle from Prat. This is a 4-year-old who has won over this distance in the past. Being competent and running at a high level, he is a former Irish raider at Dundalk for Mr. Cromwell.

Despite having returned from a concussion protocol, it won't be the worst thing to take a chance on Rahmani. He did score the first and only goal of the match when City played Newcastle Jets away, so consider giving him first honours.
