The pick of the prices on Thursday….

In ATC today….

…. I bring you my best picks in the handicaps on ITV….

I’m on STONEACRE DONNY in the 2.25 at Doncaster – up at 11s….

That’s the summary….

…. you’ll find all my reasoning below – as per usual….

Oh…. and if you’re looking for the standout place terms on offer – you’ll find them in the Bet Box below….

Read on….

The job is to look beyond the obvious….

…. and in tomorrow’s Pertemps Network Handicap at Doncaster (2.25)….

…. STONEACRE DONNY is the one that could be overpriced at the 11s – just a few days on from landing a handicap at York….

This is a definite step-up the ladder, but he won readily enough that last time….

…. and he could still contain secrets under a 6lb penalty….

The quick turnaround is interesting….

…. not too many horses need a second run so hard on the heels of a first….

…. and I take his participation as a positive – I take the view he must be showing them something at home to encourage them to go again….

He put in some good handicap performances earlier in the term before running a clunker at York in July – when it seems he was overcome by heat….

He’s had a break since then….

…. he came back with a bang at York just a few days ago….

…. and there could be more to come from him yet….

Now, just to recap….

The pick of the prices….

To recap on my bets….

In the 2.25 @ Doncaster….

  • Pick of the prices – STONEACRE DONNY (11s generally)

e/w terms = It’s 4 & 3 places generally….

Advised prices are correct at the point of publication – but subject to fluctuation. Shop around – you may find better quotes and terms than advised….

That’s all for today….

I’ll be back with more tomorrow….
