Hello Friend

A quiet but solid start for the main systems with the three bets returning a winner at 5/2, UP 10/1 and 3rd 14/1. Hopefully we can build on that tomorrow. Fingers crossed Gosden's last race winner isn't his only one this week...

Onto tomorrow...

Just a note on Diploma for SMS in the 5.35 - he ran 25 days ago, system 'rules' say 26 days-60 days ago - 0/7, 1 place 1-25 days. If he had run 26 days ago he would have qualified. He won't go down as a system bet but that information is there for you to use as you please. 

John Gosden got his first winner above 12/1 since 2011- previously 0/31, 6 places. As stated in the guide in the 14/1-20/1 bracket these runners were 0/15,6 places, 0/11,5 places in non handicaps. In non handicaps he further improved his record with those that ran in C4 for their 1st career run. I didn't back his 20/1 winner of the last but hope some of you may have. He also had another big priced runner place.  It will be interesting how his go tomorrow that are in the 14/1-20/1 range. 

One final observation. Maybe this is just how the races panned out but it was noticeable how hard it was to come from behind. Being on the pace appeared to be a distinct advantage and again it will be interesting if that trend continues tomorrow. 

Apparently some heavy rain is forecast later tonight and it is currently dry tomorrow.

Good luck with your bets,
