The Shortlist 3rd October 2013

A really (really!) good day for the main list yesterday, with a non-runner and two winners, at 14/1 (available as big as 20/1) and 5/1. You’ll know how I did by my last line yesterday:

“I especially like Bowstar, and have wagered her accordingly.” 🙂

I know many of you had a good day too, some even coupling the two winners in 100/1+ doubles. Now that’s a nice number!!!

Today is another day, of course, and I like five on the main list, especially Hannah’s Turn, who reverts to the scene of her four career wins, from five starts. True, she’s a lot higher in the weights now, but – Upper Grosvenor (has to prove a liking for this tricky surface) aside – it’s not a strong race. Anyway, we’ll see.

Today’s racecards are here.

OK, with that said, here is today’s Shortlist, along with the best odds (all best odds guaranteed prices) at the time of writing.

2.40 War – Finn Class – 12/1 bet365
4.00 Sou – Britain – 11/4 Hills
5.00 Sou – Hannah’s Turn – 10/1 Betfred
5.45 War – Lion Beacon – 6/1 PP
7.10 Wol – Burren View Lady – 7/2 Boyles

My ‘also considered’ list comprises:

4.40 War – Hydrant e/w – 20/1 Seanie Mac
5.10 War – Lulu The Zulu e/w – 7/1 BetVictor

The Shortlist is a simple concept: I go through the Race Analysis Reports each day to find horses which I consider to be of interest. I then publish that list of horses here. Some will win, many will lose. It is hoped that the winners will cover the losers and leave a bit of gravy on the punting platter.

Now, before I go on, I need to make (labour!) a really important point. And it is this:

the Race Analysis Reports are deliberately interpretive. That is, different people will highlight different horses depending on whether they’re using the win or place statistics, and which columns they sort on (based on which elements they consider most important in a given race).

So, these will be the horses on MY shortlist. Feel free to do with them what you will.

You may have a different shortlist, and you are most certainly encouraged to go and play with the numbers to find what works best for you.

As regular readers will know, it makes absolute sense to get the best price you can about any selection you’re backing. Put another way, it makes no sense whatsoever to accept a shorter price than the best available unless you’ve got too much money and are keen to give some away! 😉

So, if you don’t already have accounts with all the main bookmakers, you should get them. Seriously. Not only will they give you free bets when you start, but you’ll also – more importantly – always get the best value on any bet you make by ensuring you take the top price. It’s just daft not to.

Here at geegeez, we’ve got a special software tool which takes the hard (and dull) work of opening accounts, and makes it easy. You fill out a single form, and our software does the rest, opening up to twelve accounts for you with all the major bookmakers.
