Nick Shiambouros' Patented 80/20 Bet: Windsor, 18:40
80/20 
/ Nick Shiambouros / 11 July 2011 / Leave a Comment Is Nick's Monday selection on the up today?
Today's 80/20 is The Rising in the 18.40 at Windsor.
This Pivotal colt caught the eye on debut when finishing third to West Leake Diman at Haydock last month.He was a little slowly away but finished strongly and was not beaten by much.He has a decent pedigree and is entitled to show improvement in this interesting maiden. I think he will run well at a fair price. At present she is trading at [6.4] on the exchange.
Will a drop in the weights result in a win for today's selection?...
July Cup runner has caught Nick's eye - will you be following?...
Can this particular Lady shine at Newmarket today?...

Windsor Placepot: Monday June 27

Monday Night = Windsor
"After two starts Royal Red's form is just as good as that of likely favourite Amis Reunis, however, and she looks the one with more scope to progress."
It's almost too hot to think, and personally I fancy watching the tennis over some humdrum Flat racing today. Never mind, Windsor gets underway this evening and, by then, a speculative double on Marion Bartoli and Sabine Lisicki will have gone west, so maybe my heart will be back in it.
18:40 - A triumvirate of Richard Hannon-trained runners complicates matters no end in the opening two-year-old maiden. After two starts Royal Red's form is just as good as that of likely favourite Amis Reunis, however, and she looks the one with more scope to progress. She's a banker to get us underway.
19:10 - Dear Maurice looks best off at the weights and will win if turning up in form, with a sound record fresh adding confidence. That said, he's dipping into selling company for the first time, perhaps pointing to a problem of some kind, so it would be dangerous to take him alone, and Anjomarba rates as sound insurance. She built on a creditable run here last month to win at Folkestone last time, and is fully entitled to go well again.
19:40 - News has just come in that Aristeia is a non-runner in the following maiden, and she had been banker material. Annoying to say the least. Passing Stranger is a most interesting newcomer and appears to be odds-on on Betfair. We need to be dealing with form, however, and Midnight Feast and Rafaaf have enough of it to imagine one, if not both, will hit the three.
20:10 - Always try and side with three-year-olds against their elders in races such as the fourth leg. Aldwick Bay makes that bit more appeal than Canaveral, enough for him to be a stand-alone choice, as things stand anyway. If putting your placepot on closer to time, just check there haven't been any non-runners, as a seven-runner field will mean just two places and, in that case, it may prove prudent to stick Brian Meehan's runner in there as well.
20:40 - A very tricky fillies' handicap makes for the fifth leg, and I'm taking three to be on the safe side. I backed Undulant Way at Bath last time and got the impression she didn't handle the track. Keep the faith. It's a similar case with Miss Topsy Turvy. She left her chance in the stalls when a warm favourite at Nottingham last time, rearing and losing all hope. Her previous success at Salisbury suggests she can take a progressive path for a while to come. Alongside that pair, Diverting is also worthy of consideration after returning from a break at Lingfield last month with a run which suggests she's yet to show all of which she's capable.
21:10 - The lightly-raced Foxley is liable to prove popular in the finale, but he hasn't looked in any way progressive in three starts to date, and I'd much rather take the in-form Prince of Sorrento. He slashed up over course and distance three weeks ago and didn't get the run of things when bidding to follow-up seven days later.

While the Irish Derby at the Curragh provides the Sunday highlight, Uttoxeter's Summer National meeting gets the nod for the day's Timeform 'pot....
Plenty of cards to choose from on a busy Saturday, but Newcastle gets the nod as there's likely to be a good dividend.......
Plenty of races and plenty of runners today and though Folkestone is just about the least glamorous venue for the placepot, it looks just about the most gettable and it won't take many lines, either......

"John Gosden has his string in fine form and Purification is entitled to be a short price on the form and promise he showed in two runs last year"
Windsor's card this evening is a tough place to start the week from a Placepot perspective, but hopefully the following selections can do the trick...
17.20 - There have already been numerous examples of how important experience can be in this type of event, so Mrs Mop looks to have an edge besides the obvious positive that she represents the Hannon yard and is included. It's significant that the stable also run Best Terms and all the more significant that Richard Hughes rides her, so it would be no surprise to see her make a winning start.
17.50 - Several of these haven't quite gone on as expected, not least Ilissos, so, although there is potential in handicap debutant Breton Star, it's best we bank in this given the tricky contests that follow and Mark Johnston's Pretty Diamond, who is the type that should go on improving after her recent Beverley win, is our selection.
18.20 A wide-open contest, but three that can be made a strong case for are three-time course winner The Cayterers, who shaped well when last on the Flat and has got off the mark over hurdles in the meantime; the consistent Bavarica, who has a good record with Adam Beschizza in the saddle, and the lightly-raced Mecox Bay, who won first time out last year and is just the type Andrew Balding will get even more out of this season.
18.50 - There's only fifteen runners in this now and it's really trappy, so at least three selections are required. The first one, The Wee Chief, has on numerous times left the impression that he's capable of better than what he's shown so far and, even allowing for the fact he's not the easiest of rides, often pulling hard, he's still the most interesting runner in this field. Our second and third selections, Elusive Hawk and Rum King, are rather more speculative; the former has a patchy record but did at least win first-time out last season, and it's interesting that the latter, who showed a bit more spark on his reappearance, has been persevered with after badly losing his way in 2010.
19.20 - John Gosden has his string in fine form and Purification is entitled to be a short price on the form and promise he showed in two runs last year. However, with Rainbow Springs' painful reversal in a maiden at Haydock on Saturday still fresh in my mind, it's also worth including Communicator, who has shown plenty of ability amidst greenness in his two starts and comes from the stable that won this last year.
19.50 - I think we've done well if we've made it this far and, given the chance, I'd probably feel a twinge in my hamstring about now, signal over to the bench, and get substituted off to a sympathetic round of applause rather than having to face the pressure cooker environment of this final leg. There's a good chance that one of the pair of first-time-out winners can improve and make their mark in handicap company, though, so go with The Holyman and the in-form Ed Dunlop's Aanna Heneeih.

We're headed to Shakespeare country for today's placepot......
Merseyside doesn't have much on South Ayrshire (in my own humble opinion of course), but there's no doubt that Liverpool's Grand National puts its Scottish cousin in the shade somewhat. That said, this Saturday's feature is a very competitive race in its own right and, with an equally merciless undercard, the Ayr Placepot promises to be a 'payer'....
Timeform's Phil Thompson thinks today's card at Ayr is perfect for a Placepot....
