Wednesday 8th June 2011

Yesterdays racing at Redcar was good for Powell's Picks with 2 winners out of my 3 selections. Boom and Bust secured a hatrick of wins with an impressive ride in the 3:35 and in the 4:10 Pintsize destroyed the field and won by 8 lengths to give Powell's Picks a lovely double. Today I've looked at three horses from across three different different meetings all with slightly longer prices to try and make a handy each way trixie.


Beverley 2:30
RYEDANE
11/2 at William Hill
Ryedane won this race last year when a 4/1 favourite, making it a hatrick of wins at the time. Despite not being in the same kind of form he was then, he still has to be considered a threat today. He came a disappointing 7th here at the end of May but wasn't able to run his own race over 5f. Before that last outing he was showing a return to the kind of form we saw 12 months ago. Today Ryedane is well handicapped and the course and distance suits. A switch of tactics and positive riding from Lance Betts should see him bounce back against a field which isn't the strongest.


Haydock 4:20
ONE SCOOP OR TWO
6/1 at Boylesports
A very reliable horse who had two wins over this course and distance last summer. He came a good second at Chester last time out but that was over 1m 2 1/2f and this drop back to 1m should be ideal. Dazeen is in incredible form and along with Dolphin Rock will provide the main threats to One Scoop Or Two. Rey Hollinshead's 5 year old will enjoy the ground and the trip though and is another horse with a great chance of placing today.


Kempton 9:15
SPA'S DANCER
7/1 at various bookies
The very last race of the Kempton meeting tonight and it could be quite a nervous wait if the other two picks come in! Spa's Dancer is a lovely 4 year old with a good claim tonight. The Irish horse enjoys the 7f trip but punters will be confident knowing he ran well to come 4th in a 1m handicap last time out. The drop back in trip will suit him perfectly. There are doubts over him however as he only has 1 win in 15 attempts over this course and distance. Cheekpieces will be used for the first time tonight in an attempt to change that stat and Spa's Dancer definitely has an each way claim.
