News Of The Day

With only the one meeting (Southwell) going ahead today in the UK, opportunities to find value bets were going to be few and far between. I advised backing Pass The Port in the 1m 4f handicap but only if you could secure a price of 3/1 or better. The horse never reached this price and you should have let it run.

One lay bet proposed, and I suggested going against News Of The Day in the 1m handicap. Having won a seller last time out at Wolverhampton, today's task was both a step up in class and a trip over a different all-weather surface. He was the morning favourite at 3/1 but drifted right out to a starting price of 6/1 and finished mid-division.

A small but positive movement of one point for the account.
