Looks like the Summer's over with rain arriving and lots of it judging by the forecast.Three afternoon meetings and the All Weather at Kempton this evening.Chepstow posts Good to Soft but they may not get much more rain looking at the radar.Haydock and Newcastle both post Good to Firm but it will be deteriorating ground at both venues as the day progresses and the forecast rain gets into the ground.
It's poor racing for a Friday all low grade stuff but I could have been interested in a handful today had the rain stayed away.There are no advised bets at this stage and only a minor chance I'll be backing anything with the uncertainty over underfoot conditions.If Chepstow avoids more rain and is bordering on Good there are a couple there that I'm keen on.I will send via Twitter if I'm playing.
I'll definitely be looking to be active on the "lay" side of the exchange today.A sudden and pronounced shift from fast to slow ground puts the backer at a marked disadvantage to the layer overall.The possibility of "track bias " due to heavy rain also complicates things if your backing.
The inside running rail at Haydock can be a "no go" zone when it gets really wet so a low draw on the round course can be a real disadvantage if the rain sets in.I'll be looking to capitalize on these uncertainties if the right conditions present today
