Bellissimo!

The marketing guys selling that well-known Irish stout tell us "good things come to those who wait" and never a truer word spoken today. I didn't get my message out until after 1 o'clock this lunchtime, but I think it was worth the delay.

Five back-to-win selections, and three of them reached my recommended value prices. Two of these went on to win. Camden Bella gave us more than our fair share of entertainment at Carlisle, as she rallied from 6 lengths down after the last to just get her nose in front on the line. I managed to get matched at 13/2 but I've had messages saying 8/1 was available on the exchanges. Well done to everyone who got best prices, but I will be putting on the account what I was able to get personally. Another favourite of mine this season, Lou Lou Nivernais also brought home the bacon at Market Rasen. More than 8 points profit today.

My only lay bet was to be a decent 4 point bet against the morning favourite in Camden Bella's race, Brooklyn Breeze. However, his price never fell to the value I was looking for so it goes down on the account as a 'no bet'.
