30th August

530 Sandown-The non runners have opened this race up and im very interested in First Post`s chance.
This horse has won 3 times at this track,wants soft ground,is at its best from July onwards and is a force when dropped back into a class 4 like today.
If you take its runs from July onwards,in this grade and on soft ground,you get form figures of 5th-1st-1st-3rd-1st.
Pretty good but if you then add on when Dane O`Neill is booked to ride then the form figures become 1st-1st-1st.
He hasnt been onboard of late but he is today.
Norway Cross and Telefono are both lightly raced and are respected.
Back First Post 5pts each way at 8.0 at various bookies(Accept 6.0)-UP(-10pts)Ground firmed up a bit and the horse just never finished its race off.

6.0 Market Rasen-Jonjo O`Neill`s horses are in fine form (9 winners from last 18 runners) and he has won this race 3 times in the last 7 years,so his runner Old Pals Act has plenty going for it.
Its 1 from 1 at this track and I particularly like it when this trainer steps one up in trip like this one is.Its a rock solid favourite.
Strumble Head came back to form last time and this is its time of year(August/September 5w-2p-11r) but it looks on a tough handicap mark now.
Ballinroab looks the main danger to me as its best going right handed(3w-1p-9r) but this horse is none too reliable and I prefer Old Pals Act.
Back Old Pals Act 14pts at 3.5 at paddys(Accept 3.25)-Won(46.2pts *Best odds guranteed*)(DT+36.2pts)
Monthly Total-89.74pts
Running Total+7099.91pts
