Welcome to MarkYourCard for racing on Sunday
Again, smashing the odds on our selections yesterday.
7.00 Nottingham - Emperor Cardoc 4/1 into 2/1
6.09 Carlisle - Financer win bet 9/2 into 9/4
15:56 Leicester: Grand Citadel 12/1 into 11/4
The first was poor, the other two have yet to run.
We certainly deserve some results, we have put the work in, beat the odds, and then to keep seeing the poor results is demoralising.
Just the one for tomorrow, I wanted to pull the trigger on Woohoo in the first at Ayr, @ 6.5 the price is good but only 365 are hanging those odds, its much shorter elsewhere and the fact it is an Amateur race and the jockey only has three rides, I just could not justify making it a bet.
in the 5.00 Ayr, I looked at Theoryofeverything who won the race last year from 8lbs higher (taking into account the jockey claim) looked to have a great chance, but then looked at the other OMeara horse and liked that one even more, so again .. no bet in this race.
So instead we have a swing on one at a big price and hold fire until Monday.
Speed Figure Picks
Southwell 16:15 – Cloud King @ 17.0 - 3 places (paddy/sky)
Tactical Pace Map: Sectional timing confirms he has authentic, elite gate speed but is best utilized when tracking the pace. Breaking from Stall 5, he is perfectly drawn to secure a prominent position right behind Canon's House (Stall 9), a confirmed pace-burner who will provide a slipstream before fading late.
Surface Peak: His two highest career speed ratings were achieved on Standard All-Weather surfaces, including an exact Course and Distance match at Southwell.
Human Factors: The Cowell yard is operating at a red-hot 22% win rate over the last fortnight, and jockey Jack Callan boasts a highly profitable 16% win rate at this specific track.
