BLUE SQUARE WINTER CARNIVAL
WE’RE now just over a week away from the grand final of the Blue Square Sprint Series and tomorrow’s two divisions are the last chance for runners to accumulate enough points to guarantee a place in the final. The Series has been a great success and the final promises to be very exciting with £15,000 in prize money on offer.
Tomorrow’s first division (3.25pm) features two previous winners and I think CUT THE CACKLE can go in again. Richard Guest’s runner was made favourite last week following his victory a fortnight ago, but just couldn’t get into it from stall 11. He’s in stall two this time and the Series’ leading jockey William Carson is back in the saddle.
Nubar Boy did this column a favour last week, but he is up another 3lb and that will make life difficult. I was tempted to put up Waterloo Dock after his promising second last time, but he hasn’t won from a mark this high before and is therefore passed over.
The second division (4.00pm) is really hard to call. Captain Dimitrios has been consistent throughout the winter and Waabel is certainly handicapped to win. However, I’m going to give a chance to Ron Harris’ MY LORD who has won off much higher marks in the past.
Blue Square continue to refund bets if you are beaten less than a length and they also have the Blue Square Winter Carnival App for all the news on the Blue Square Sprint Series.
