So close...

Epsom Salts (right) is my only bet on Wednesday

...but yet so far. Idarah ran an absolute cracker to come 2nd. He drifted out to 14/1 before the off, and was prominant throughout. When pressed for the lead he responded well, but unfortunately got headed close home to go down by a head. Another profitable day, but it could have been so much better. +3.75 points for the day.

I haven't had a bet in the last 2 days as the standard of racing has been poor to say the least, but I've got 1 fancy for tomorrow's card at Goodwood which looks to have a great chance in my opinion.

Goodwood 3.45 - Epsom Salts - 2pts win @ 13/2 (Victor Chandler)
A stayers handicap over 2 miles isn't usually my cup of tea, but Epsom Salts looks to have a very good chance tomorrow. He ran a cracker in this race last year, coming 2nd, only beaten 3/4 of a length. He didn't get the clearest of runs that day when making his challenge, and the result could have been much different if he got a clearer passage. That good run came off a mark of 76, so tomorrow's mark of 70 looks to be a nice one for him. Epsom Salts ran a stinker last time out, and I feel that's why his price is as high as it is at the moment. He was heavily eased that day, shaping as if something may have been amiss. He's been off the track just over a month now so any problem that he may have had will surely have been sorted by now. Epsom Salts has never won over this trip, but last years performance in this race shows he's more than capable of getting the trip. The ground will suit, and running off such an attractive mark is a major plus. His run last time out was clearly not his true running, and if he's ready to go tomorrow then 13/2 is a massive price.
