In-running 
/ Neil Munro / 21 July 2011 / Leave a Comment 
Try to remember the names of Neil's picks. Or better still write them down!
"You will be astonished to know that Surprise is a player. This is because she is a strong traveller and catches the eye of in-running backers."
Neil Munro explains why he's sticking with a horse that's had an unlucky 13 and three others that are also worth follow in-running...
As mentioned last week, the database of In-Running horses is being updated and adapted. I can almost hear those yawns from here! For those of you who have the mental capacity to remember the horses you want to trade on, and more importantly how you want to trade on them, just be aware of how lucky you are. Gone are those days for me, I can barely remember to get up in the morning.
But when I do get up, I open up the database and link it to the runners of the day. And I have seen some interesting characters over the last ten days or so.
Surprise
Mark Rimmer's three-year-old filly is yet to taste success after 13 runs, and I guess that should ring the alarm bells, but plenty of similar maidens would not be tradable in the run. But you will be astonished to know that Surprise is a player. This is because she is a strong traveller and catches the eye of in-running backers. Her best runs have come over 12 furlongs so look to have the field winning for you until she gets her head in front. She has traded at half her BSP in the run ten times out of 13 times we have seen her on a course. I am sure she can win a race.
Opera Gal
Opera Gal carries Jeff Smith's famous colours, so is easily identifiable and she also is a prominent runner so you tend to see her trying to dictate from the front. There is always a chorus of approval from me when the four year old has an entry as Opera Gal is ultra-consistent and she trades at half her BSP in defeat in around 82% of her runs. She also hits odds-on in around one-in-four runs as well. She has won a couple of times so decide whether you fancy her or not before deciding on how you play her. She copes with all ground and is best over ten to 12 furlongs.
Elusivity
This shady character has various quirks which is probably why he has only won a single race in 12 starts but has been second a further five times. Brian Meehan's three-year-old is very much one paced in a finish, but also seems to not like the battle. Elusivity has traded half his BSP in nine of his 11 defeats and four of those runs he has traded odds-on including one at [1.10] having gone off a BSP of [10.0]. So get the field winning for you by just trying to lay in-running (back to lay if a little less brave).
Other horses worth mentioning include Below Zero, who won for the first time in a while over six furlongs recently but should definitely be in your list for backing pre-race and laying in-running, and My Condor, who is another for back-to-lay as he has traded half his BSP twenty nine times in forty defeats.
As with anything else in life, the best in-running insights come to those who put the hard work in, says Neil Munro....
