Perfect Summer conditions everywhere today and a really excellent day in prospect.
This day provided me with my three biggest punting milestones back in the "eighties".My biggest ever win came in the '87 Eclipse when Mtoto defeated Reference Point.My biggest winning day came exactly one year later on Eclipse day in '88.On that day I backed eight horses,seven of which won.I had my largest bet ever on that day on Highbrow in the Lancashire Oaks which was surprise surprise the only one of the eight to get beaten.I don't play at those stakes levels these days but I was young and flying back then at the end of a decade of business success and wild indulgence.Obviously it couldn't last and it didn't.Everything came crashing down in '89 and by 1990 it was back to the beginning and start again.
The Eclipse today is a good competitive renewal and I'm looking forward to it but will pass on it betting wise.Plenty I do like today and here's hoping for a good day.
Sandown
Race 3
Wentworth should have won the Brittania at Ascot.He draws wide here but will go back anyway and the pace here will be good.He can round them up in the last furlong.Rated 3.80 and available at 5.50
Advised Bet :Wentworth 1.30 units at 4.0 or better -take 50% at 5.50 and monitor on Betfair with the rest.
Race 4
Nargys was fantastic at ascot and clearly should have won.She some way ahead on my figures here rated 2.50. 3.0 plus available on Betfair.Woodland Aria is a rapid improver and a saver on her is advised.
Advised Bets: Nargys 2 units at 2.60 or better.Shop on Betfair but not too late.Saver 0.40 units Woodland Aria.
Race 6

Race 1
Keen Holley Shiftwell will be hard to beat here.Overcame difficulties when bolting up at Newmarket and more to come.Rated 2.80 and 3.50 plus on Betfair
