@34.00

Void

VAPE actually won this race last year and is now seven pounds lighter in the handicap so a dangerous one to rule out with the course form in the back catalogue. Ground won't be a problem and has run well fresh in the past, so considered if the break has done him good.

Louis Treize

Daily Racing

@21.00

Lose

-50

LOUIS TRIEZE nearly always makes a hash of the start, but won twice here despite that last season, so clearly enjoys a spin round here. Has had a couple of runs to strip fitter for the season and could now get involved from a reduced mark. Jockey Laura Coughlan is on board and knows him well, and with seven other runners there'll be slightly less traffic than normal to get though in the closing stages.
14:30 Hubert Hurkacz vs Sebastian Baez

Sebastian Baez

Win Match

50 WIN

@2.50

Lose

-50

I think these two are much closer statistically so it looks a tempting bet on Baez to edge this one in what is likely to be a three setter I'd suggest.
13:00 Anastasiya Konstantinovna Soboleva vs Marina Stakusic

Anastasiya Konstantinovna Soboleva

Win Match

50 WIN

@2.38

Win

69

Soboleva wins ALOT of matches on clay and pretty much stay exclusively to these tournaments. She's probably better than Stakusic on this surface so looks a fair play at the price to progress.
12:30 Susan Bandecchi vs Ekaterina Vl Makarova

Ekaterina Vl. Makarova

Win Match

50 WIN

@2.20

Lose

-50

Makarova won the previous match between these two, is the higher ranked and has the better clay court form so I was surprised she wasn't the favourite.
02:40 KC Royals @ SEA Mariners

KC Royals

Money Line

50 WIN

@2.30

Lose

-50

The Royals look a fair play at this price as there's little to separate both teams so this price looks a bit steep when you consider Kansas are in slightly better shape.
02:38 STL Cardinals @ LA Angels

LA Angels

Money Line

50 WIN

@1.91

Lose

-50

I think the Angels should be the clear favs here with the Cardinals in a real slump and as the road team. I'll side with LA.
01:10 OAK Athletics @ HOU Astros

OAK Athletics

Money Line

50 WIN

@2.55

Lose

-50

The A's are actually in better shape in the league at the moment and not that far behind in overall form. I still think there's a slight tendency to overestimate the Astros because of who they are.
00:40 WAS Nationals @ CHI White Sox

CHI White Sox

Money Line

50 WIN

@2.05

Void

0

WIth home advantage and a slight improvement in results lately I made the White Sox the slight favourites when I priced this one up, they look the most likely winner and are worth backing as a result.
00:20 CHI Cubs @ ATL Braves

CHI Cubs

Money Line

50 WIN

@2.60

Lose

-50

Cubs just off a road series win at the Pirates and the Braves aren't quite at their usual best yet so I think Chicago look a value play.
00:10 TB Rays @ BOS Red Sox

TB Rays

Money Line

50 WIN

@2.00

Win

50

I think the Rays look a fair double your money play here, there's very little to separate both teams and if anything Tampa Bay are in slightly better form.
00:00 BOS Celtics @ CLE Cavaliers

CLE Cavaliers

Money Line

50 WIN

@4.00

Lose

-50

The perennial underestimation of the Cavs continues for me. We've already made profit on the series thanks to the Cavs 6/1 win in game two. I still think they might be able to nick another one in this series and they definitely look value with the home advantage.
13 May 2024
23:40 MIA Marlins @ DET Tigers

MIA Marlins

Money Line

50 WIN

@2.55

Lose

-50

I don't think the Tigers should be this short in price with just three wins from the last 10. Marlins no better but the two should still be much closer in odds than this.

Seas Of Elzaam

@21.00

Lose

-50

SEAS OF ELZAAM is very hot and cold but if we catch a good day we could a tasty run at a price. Comes into this from same mark as when a beaten favourite in a similar quality race in January and we get a run similar to that then there are each-way claims.
20:00 Aston Villa v Liverpool

Liverpool

50 WIN

@1.73

Lose

-50

Liverpool look decent value here. They've bounced back and will look to end Klopp's reign with a couple of wins, starting here, against a Villa team that are badly affected by injuries and reeling from a heavy schedule, heading into the final week of the season.
18:00 Hamad Medjedovic vs Daniil Medvedev

Hamad Medjedovic

Win Match

50 WIN

@3.30

Lose

-50

Medjedovic could be hitting a sweet spot on the surface and in case the breakthrough continues, I think he's got the potential to cause Medvedev issues.

King Of Tonga

@26.00

Win

100

Well drawn KING OF TONGA has had an all-weather disappointment to prep for the turf campaign, and drops to lighter in the weights than last season's peak. Going and distance aren't a problem so there's a definite chance if now fully tuned up.
16:17 4:17 Catterick

Daily Racing

25 EWNBNOTETip made at odds of 29.00 on 12/05 at 23:150.10 deduction for Night Life@7.00 withdrawn at 16:21R4 Adjusted Odds = 1 + 28.00 x (1-0.10) = 26.20

@26.20

Win

101

Regressed last year but it was a busy campaign and maybe the last run out has served as a loosener. Rock bottom mark now considerably lighter in the weights than when last seen in the height of the last turf season, when it narrowly missed out on some wins. Possible low handicapped outsider that could spring a surprise.
15:47 3:47 Catterick

Furnicoe

Daily Racing

25 EW

@34.00

Lose

-50

Another who could bounce back now returning to turf and is worth keeping onside in the early turf season is FURNICOE. Now 4lbs lighter than a blanket finish fifth at Thirsk last June, so could get involved on a going day. Trainer and jockey combine well and the stable also fare better here than most other courses.
15:00 Sebastian Baez vs Holger Rune

Sebastian Baez

Win Match

50 WIN

@2.75

Win

88

Baez isn't far away from Rune statistically on the clay surface so probably shouldn't be this price to advance to the next round.
14:00 Tommy Paul vs Dominik Koepfer

Dominik Koepfer

Win Match

50 WIN

@2.20

Lose

-50

Paul's not the best on the clay and neither is Koepfer at the moment, but he's generally the better performer on this surface so looks the player to be with.

13:30 Rebecca Sramkova vs Jelena Ostapenko

Rebecca Sramkova

Win Match

50 WIN

@3.20

Lose

-50

Ostapenko plays much more the hard courts so probably shouldn't be this heavily favoured on the clay. Sramkova has enough ability and can definitely cause issues.
13:30 Stefano Napolitano vs Nicolas Jarry

Stefano Napolitano

Win Match

50 WIN

@2.75

Lose

-50

Napolitano looks value to cause the upset, especially with Jarry struggling for consistency on clay at the moment. Napolitano has been in good shape and could extend his great run here.
12:00 Coco Gauff vs Paula Badosa

Paula Badosa

Win Match

50 WIN

@2.62

Lose

-50

Badosa looks a touch big in price to cause the upset here. Gauff looks a bit short with her not being quite as effective on clay and her tournament could end at this stage.
10:00 Felix Auger Aliassime vs Alex De Minaur

Felix Auger Aliassime

Win Match

50 WIN

@2.30

Lose

-50

Auger Alisassime has the H2H advantage and is performing much better than he usually does on the clay. This will be good test of the progress he's made and I think he'll pass it.
10:00 Naomi Osaka vs Qinwen Zheng

Qinwen Zheng

Win Match

50 WIN

@2.00

Win

50

Zheng looks a solid play here, she's the current world number seven and probably better on the clay. Osaka will obviously be a tough match but Zheng is good enough to progress.

23:30 FLA Panthers @ BOS Bruins

BOS Bruins

Money Line

50 WIN

@2.50

Lose

-50

Boston look a value play to level up the series here. Florida should be marginal favs but with home advantage I think the Bruins have a better chance the price suggests of sealing the win
21:10 OAK Athletics @ SEA Mariners

OAK Athletics

Money Line

50 WIN

@2.90

Lose

-50

Well we played the A's last night and they sealed the deal for us so I think they look a tempting play once again. It's certainly not this much of a gap in quality between the pair.
21:07 KC Royals @ LA Angels

KC Royals

Money Line

50 WIN

@1.95

Win

47

I'll chance the Royals here as I had them marginal favs for this one, so they looks to the team to be with from a value persepctive. Despite being the road team they have the better form and overall record.
18:30 6:30 Newcastle

Northern Spirit

Daily Racing

25 EW

@17.00

Lose

-50

Another with potential to outrun the price is NORTHERN SPIRIT who genrally seems to be consistent and seemed to stay the distance when stepped up last time out. Drops in the weights despite that and could be another who gets involved. Finished fourth from two pounds higher over a furlong shorter in March and if matching that performance there are each-way claims.
18:00 Elina Svitolina vs Anna Kalinskaya

Anna Kalinskaya

Win Match

50 WIN

@2.10

Lose

-50

I had this one flipped in odds with Kalinskaya as the marginal favourite so she looks a value play to cause the minor upset.

@21.00

Void

Still a maiden but MILANESE ROSE had finishes of 52P4 over the hurdles last season and is a pound lighter here. so could get involved once more here. Stable don't send them to Ludlow often and have a cracking record when they do, and the jockey booking is a plus too. Record fresh is fine as well as distance and going so plenty of boxes have been ticked.
17:00 Ben Shelton vs Zhizhen Zhang

Zhizhen Zhang

Win Match

50 WIN

@2.88

Win

94

Shelton's not much above .500 on the clay and could come unstuck against Zhang, who is performing well on clay and could cause the mini upset.
16:52 4:52 Newcastle

Chantico

Daily Racing

25 EW

@17.00

Lose

-50

The second division of this handicap points towards CHANTICO being a value play. Clearly had an off day last time out at Pontefract which was too bad to be true, and could fare much better here. Ran well from higher in the handicap earlier in the year and could be a danger if bouncing back.
16:30 Man Utd v Arsenal

Arsenal

50 WIN

@1.38

Win

19

Arsenal likely to be too strong for United here, they are reeling at the moment and if Palace can put four past United then so can Arsenal. They'll have too much offensively.
16:17 4:17 Newcastle

Bohemian Breeze

Daily Racing

25 EW

@17.00

Lose

-50

BOHEMIAN BREEZE drops below last winning mark and this hit or miss type is considered just in case of a return to the best of it's past form. Distance looks fine and wouldn't be my outsider of this field with a couple of these not racing on the surface for quite a while. They have more questions to answer I'd suggest.
15:50 3:50 Plumpton

Ez Tiger

Daily Racing

25 EWNBNOTETip made at odds of 17.00 on 12/05 at 01:390.10 deduction for Inigo@7.50 withdrawn at 10:13R4 Adjusted Odds = 1 + 16.00 x (1-0.10) = 15.40

@15.40

Win

432

Bryan Carver has form of 24124 on the last five runs in the saddle of EZ TIGER and this one is now lighter in the handicap than two of those runs. Considered if finding the form of last season's peak.
14:30 Victoria Azarenka vs Mayar Sherif

Mayar Sherif

Win Match

50 WIN

@2.75

Lose

-50

I'l chance Sherif here as Azarenka isn't quite performing to her usual expectations on clay at the moment and I think she looks a bit high for the win.
14:00 Sara Sorribes Tormo vs Jelena Ostapenko

Sara Sorribes Tormo

Win Match

50 WIN

@2.50

Lose

-50

Ostapenko probably the fav here but I priced her up at about 1.91 for the win and Sorribes Tormo looks a bit for the upset at this price.
11:30 Sofia Kenin vs Rebecca Sramkova

Rebecca Sramkova

Win Match

50 WIN

@2.50

Win

75

Sramkova is a decent player on clay and I think she's been under-estimated here. Kenin may be the higher ranked player but this isn't her strongest suit and she could come unstuck.
11:30 Terence Atmane vs Grigor Dimitrov

Terence Atmane

Win Match

50 WIN

@6.00

Lose

-50

Dimitrov has been a little unpredictable with a couple of surprise defeats of late so I don't think he should be this heavily fancied against Atmane, who has rattled through four rounds already and could squeeze out some further progress.
10:00 Elise Mertens vs Irina Camelia Begu

Irina Camelia Begu

Win Match

50 WIN

@2.62

Win

81

Begu looks a decent price here as she is proving useful on clay and could cause the upset against the seeded Mertens, who isn't having too much success on the surface this season.
10:00 Thiago Monteiro vs Miomir Kecmanovic

Thiago Monteiro

Win Match

50 WIN

@2.00

Win

50

Monteiro looks the clear fav to me as statistically he's much better on clay so he looks a decent double your money play at this price.
02:40 OAK Athletics @ SEA Mariners

OAK Athletics

Money Line

50 WIN

@3.00

Win

100

This looks an under-estimation of the A's chances even as the road team. They are matching the Mariners generally and last night's thrashing seems to be more of an anomaly.
01:40 LA Dodgers @ SD Padres

SD Padres

Money Line

50 WIN

@2.25

Lose

-50

Little to separate these to in recent form and stats so with the home advantage the Padres are just about the value play to clinch this one I think.
01:30 BOS Celtics @ CLE Cavaliers

CLE Cavaliers

Money Line

50 WIN

@3.60

Lose

-50

We've already cashed in on the Cavs with a 6/1 win on the road in game two and despite that there still isn't much of a re-dress in the odds here. The bottom line is if the Cavs can win at the Celtics they can definitely do it in their own arena and they just look overpriced again.
00:15 CIN Reds @ SF Giants

SF Giants

Money Line

50 WIN

@2.25

Win

62

These two are bang out form but with home advantage I think the Giants are worth the look as a better than double your money play. They are taken to square the series.
00:10 CLE Guardians @ CHI White Sox

CHI White Sox

Money Line

50 WIN

@2.50

Win

75

These two are 5-5 over the last 10 games and with the White Sox having home advantage they look a worthy value play. Really bad start to the season but they've recovered and the market hasn't quite adjusted yet.
