8:20 Magic Minstrel Unplaced

Another uncompetitive maiden and one run at a steady gallop to the intersection. The first two pulled clear of some very ordinary types and the winner raced centre-to-far side in the straight.

Well-backed WINNING SPARK, the clear pick of the weights judged on his best French form,...]]> Wed, 26 Oct 2011 16:36:00 +0000 http://thebettingslip.co.uk/blog/4/entry-74-hotties-performance-on-wednesday-19-october/ http://thebettingslip.co.uk/blog/4/entry-73-hotties-performance-on-tuesday-18-october/ Exeter
2:40 Numen WON @ 5/4

Another uncompetitive novice hurdle. This looked all over a match between old rivals NUMEN and Shallow Bay, which played out as the pair dominated from the off. Straightforward form.

Numen was easy to back on account of being 7lb worse off with the runner-up for a near length beating of that...]]> Wed, 26 Oct 2011 16:08:00 +0000 http://thebettingslip.co.uk/blog/4/entry-73-hotties-performance-on-tuesday-18-october/ http://thebettingslip.co.uk/blog/4/entry-72-hotties-performance-on-monday-17-october/ Plumpton
2:50 Fongoli 2nd @ 6/4

A desperately weak novices´ handicap.

JACKO´S BOY, not for the first time, looked reluctant under pressure when beaten in a selling hurdle 11 days previously and it was risky business backing him at odds of 11-10. However, getting his own way out in front back over fences against two...]]> Wed, 26 Oct 2011 16:01:00 +0000 http://thebettingslip.co.uk/blog/4/entry-72-hotties-performance-on-monday-17-october/ http://thebettingslip.co.uk/blog/4/entry-71-hotties-performance-on-sunday-16-october/ Bath
2:30 Rode Two Destiny Unplaced

Using the runner-up as a guide this form looks no more than modest, but the winner, LARWOOD, who is officially rated 8lb higher than the second, won with a bit more in hand than the margin suggests. Held up behind, he was brought with his challenge down the outside, edging ahead only well...]]> Wed, 26 Oct 2011 15:42:00 +0000 http://thebettingslip.co.uk/blog/4/entry-71-hotties-performance-on-sunday-16-october/ http://thebettingslip.co.uk/blog/4/entry-70-hotties-performance-on-saturday-15-october/ Catterick
1:45 Glamorous Angel Unplaced

On a bright, sunny day the ground was described as soft.

Four previous winners in this event but the form book went out of the window.

I´LL BE GOOD, winner of just one of his ten starts, is rated just 74 and had plenty to find. He travelled strongly and there was no fluke about it....]]> Sat, 22 Oct 2011 20:16:00 +0000 http://thebettingslip.co.uk/blog/4/entry-70-hotties-performance-on-saturday-15-october/ http://thebettingslip.co.uk/blog/4/entry-66-hotties-performance-on-friday-14-october/ Cheltenham
2:10 Bold Addition 2nd @ 5/4

The opening to Cheltenham´s season. The course had been watered for six weeks leading up to the meeting with an average of 50mm down per week and it was expected to ride on the sound side of good. With the chute not being used in 2m4f races there were 11flights rather than ten on the...]]> Sat, 22 Oct 2011 19:11:00 +0000 http://thebettingslip.co.uk/blog/4/entry-66-hotties-performance-on-friday-14-october/ http://thebettingslip.co.uk/blog/4/entry-65-hotties-performance-on-thursday-13-october/ Brighton
2:30 Asaid 2nd @ 5/2

All races on innermost line and distances as advertised.

Despite light overnight rain, the ground was officially described as good to firm. Racing began with a fair 3yo maiden for the time of year. Several of the runners had shown enough to suggest they could win an event of this type, but more...]]> Sat, 22 Oct 2011 18:58:00 +0000 http://thebettingslip.co.uk/blog/4/entry-65-hotties-performance-on-thursday-13-october/ http://thebettingslip.co.uk/blog/4/entry-60-hotties-performance-on-wednesday-12-october/ Lingfield
2:00 Enery 2nd @ 4/1
A modest maiden auction event, but they went a decent early pace with a disputed lead.

Enery had been shaping as though this extra furlong would suit, but he dumped his rider going to post, ran loose, and then got warm. Wide throughout, he was never quite getting there and it´s hard to...]]> Thu, 13 Oct 2011 09:31:00 +0000 http://thebettingslip.co.uk/blog/4/entry-60-hotties-performance-on-wednesday-12-october/ http://thebettingslip.co.uk/blog/4/entry-59-hotties-performance-on-tuesday-11-october/ Huntingdon
3:20 Trovare 3rd @ 85/40
Trovare has never been the most consistent and he failed to build on his last-time-out Plumpton win, not looking as effective over this longer trip.


Newcastle
5:30 Disturbia 3rd @ 3/1
A woeful maiden and the time was 3.22 seconds slower than the earlier Class...]]> Thu, 13 Oct 2011 09:21:00 +0000 http://thebettingslip.co.uk/blog/4/entry-59-hotties-performance-on-tuesday-11-october/ http://thebettingslip.co.uk/blog/4/entry-58-hotties-performance-on-monday-10-october/ Windsor
2:00 Hayaku WON @ 11/8
The ground was on the quick side, as confirmed by the winning time of the opener, and there was a tailwind helping them up the straight.

The first division of a modest 3yo maiden.

HAYAKU was quick to get across from her low draw and easily justified favouritism. She´s taken well to...]]> Thu, 13 Oct 2011 09:03:00 +0000 http://thebettingslip.co.uk/blog/4/entry-58-hotties-performance-on-monday-10-october/
