Newcastle AW Code Breaker

Two AW meetings today. The Newcastle evening meeting starts with the 4:55. I will attempt to Crack The All Weather Code At Newcastle in as few words as possible.

---

❖ Jockeys ❖ For this evening's meeting I will be focusing on Paul Mulrennan 𝕏 who rides the Newcastle AW track very well, especially the straight course. He has three rides.

Additionally, I am looking at 5lb claimer Jack Callan 𝕏, who has a strong 24% strike rate here this season, so is obviously worth his allowance.

---

❖ Trainer ❖ No particular trainer catches my eye

---

❖ Draw Bias ❖ The draw bias at Newcastle is non existent, especially on the straight course, so nothing to see there.

Newcastle Betting Analysis

4:55 Newcastle ❖ 1m 2f C5 Hcp ❖ Monty Beau (4/1) is running well at present. The 4/1 available is reasonable enough.

4:55 Newc ~ Win Bet: 4/1 Monty Beau (Unp 3/1f)

---

5:30 Newcastle ❖ 6f C5 3yo Hcp ❖ Fille Unique (28/1) is upped in trip to 6f. Shes done nothing wrong on the level. I feel the 28/1 is an out with the washing quote. I think she has a squeak.

There is no harm at the price, of a small stake, win only bet. 45/1 freely available on the exchanges btw.

5:30 Newc ~ Win Bet: 28/1 Fille Unique (Unp 18/1)

---

7:30 Newcastle ❖ 5f C5 Hcp ❖ Castan (9/2) is knocking on the door. With Mulrennan aboard, a half reasonable break will see this one be a winner today against these.

7:30 Newc ~ Win Bet: 9/2 Castan (Unp 5/1)

Cracking The Lingfield AW Code

Lingfield AW Code Breaker

Today's first AW meeting comes from Lingfield. A seven race card. The races include 6 handicaps and a single maiden for 3-5yo runners.

I will attempt to Crack The Lingfield All Weather code in as few words as possible.

---

❖ Jockeys ❖ The jockey I am concentrating on today is top level youngster Billy Loughnane 𝕏 ~ he has five rides this afternoon.

---

❖ Trainers ❖ No particular trainer catches my eye for today's afternoon meeting.

---

❖ Draw Bias ❖ No draw bias at Lingfield worthy of note. You want decent jockeys at Lingfield, not an inside or outside draw etc.

---

❖ Bet Selection Considerations ❖

• ❖ Check out all of the Billy Loughnane runners very closely.
• ❖ Also beware anything that has been thrown into a race with a clear and obvious advantage.

5:08 Lingfield ❖ 1m 2f Hcp ❖ Crafter (3/1) has the form in the book to run up and down all over these.

5:08 Lingfield ~ Win Bet: 3/1 Crafter (Unp 4/1)

Kempton AW Code Breaker

Kempton racing this afternoon is a eight race card. Six races are handicaps of varying types. I will attempt to Crack The Kempton Park All Weather code in as few words as possible.

---

❖ Jockeys ❖ I will be looking to Billy Loughnane 𝕏 ~ who has five rides on the card.

---

❖ Draw Bias ❖ Draw considerations come into play sharply at Kempton. I will be looking for a low draw (1~5) in all races up to a mile.

---

❖ Bet Selection Considerations ❖

• ❖ If anything Billy Loughnane is on is well drawn, give it a very close look on form.
• ❖ Also beware anything that has been thrown into a race with a clear and obvious advantage.

---

Kempton Betting Analysis

8:00 Kempton ❖ 1m 3f C5 Handicap ❖ Jodhpur Blue (4/1) is knocking on the door on the AW circuit on every track. Today he takes on Kempton. From trap 4, with Loughnane aboard, I am of the opinion he has as good a chance as the favourite, so I'll take the bet at the 5/1 on offer.

8:00 Kempton ~ Win Bet: 4/1 Jodhpur Blue (2nd 9/4f from 4's)

Southwell AW Code Breaker

My attempt to Crack The AW Code At Southwell on this afternoon's bumper nine race card that features six handicaps of various descriptions.

---

❖ Jockeys ❖ This evening I'll be studying the Jason Hart 𝕏 formlines ~ he has five rides.

I also want to keep on the right side of youngster Mason Paetel at the moment. He seems to be on the upgrade in my opinion and is well worth his 5lb allowance.

---

❖ Draw Bias ❖ The draw bias at Southwell is non existent. Back who you like wherever they're drawn. If backing any front runners, pay close attention to whether you think they have the ability to actually get home up the slightly uphill 1.5f finish.

---

Southwell Betting Analysis

1:32Southwell ❖ 1m C6 Hcp ❖ Magdalayna (20/1) is a fair way overpriced.

Conclusion: has the form on the book to arguably be around the 7/1 mark. With Paetel claiming 5lb, I'll take my chances at the 20/1 odds on offer. Win only, small stake.

1:32 South ~ Win Bet: 20/1 Magdalayna (Unp 25/1)

---

3:02 Southwell ❖ 1m C6 Classified Stakes ❖ Dash Power (9/2) is one I backed 10 days ago.

Conclusion: I thought he was not given much chance by Ollie Stammers who was a jockey change. With Hart taking the ride today in similar race conditions, I'll go in again at the just about backable odds.

3:02 South ~ Win Bet: 9/2 Dash Power (2nd 3/1)

Wolverhampton AW Code Breaker

I will be trying to Crack The Wolverhampton AW code in as few words as possible. This evening's seven race card features five handicaps and two maidens.

---

❖ Jockeys ❖ The jockeys I am looking to this follow in this evening is are Hector Crouch 𝕏 and the youngster Billy Loughnane 𝕏 ~ both ride the quirky Wolverhampton track very well.

---

❖ Draw Bias ❖ Low draw is essential at Wolverhampton, pretty much every distance, one way or another.

---

❖ Bet Selection Considerations ❖

• ❖ Give a close up look on form to anything Hector Crouch and Billy Loughnane are on.
• ❖ Also beware anything that has been thrown into a race with a clear and obvious advantage.

Wolverhampton Betting Analysis

5:25 Wolverhampton ❖ 2m C4 Hcp ❖ Robusto (8/1) at first look seems to be up against it to be honest. I note though, that his one sole C&D run, was a half length defeat on 80, with Loughnane aboard ~ today he's on 77. The only pause for me is the draw in stall eight which is far from ideal.

So with all that said ~ I'll take my chances at the weights at the 8/1 on offer.

5:25 Wolver ~ Win Bet: 8/1 Robusto (3rd 11/2)

---

8:00 Wolverhampton ❖ 1m C5 Hcp ❖ Charlotte Corday (7/1) gets a line put through the last effort over an extra furlong which didn't suit in my opinion ~ Harry Vigors rode that day. Back down to a mile, trap 3, Hector Crouch back on board, I'll play.

8:00 Wolver ~ Win Bet: 7/1 Charlotte Corday (4th 9/2)

Wolverhampton Betting Analysis

7:30 Wolverhampton ❖ 7f C4 Hcp ❖ So Sassy (11/2) will be looking to rattle home from the back late on with Crouch on board. I think she'll catch them.

The only thing I can note as a negative is the first time run at the trick Wolverhampton circuit, that can catch horses out sometimes. With Crouch aboard and a decent enough draw in stall five enabling her to get a good position without too much bother, I will take my chances, because the 5/1+ on offer looks plenty reasonable enough to make her a bet.

7:30 Wolver ~ Win Bet: 11/2 So Sassy (4th 9/1)
