todays selection's tuesday 23 August

Hi Guys
 today looks a stinker so many animals with the same credentials - Going is problematic too g/frm everywhere with chances of heavy showers  so what do you do? 
I like a couple and the first is at Leicester 3.30 where Dorbak for candy under Dane O'Neil  is dropped back to 5flngs - is usually held up in his races so the 5flng should not be a big problem up the hill, six runner field so the draw should not account for much.  was hampered at the start last time and watch the replay to show how well it was moving - dropped back down in grade from 3 to 5 is a big plus as is the fact the track is still forecast g/frm  it has plenty of speed only matched by Barons Spy but he did it at bath in a low grade class 5 and Tamagin  who has lost his way a bit since his 4yr old days 
 edit - second  Despite the drop in class, he still had plenty to find with a few of these, but he travelled like a winner and seemed sure to collect when brought to challenge over a furlong out, but he either couldn´t or wouldn´t go through with it. He was claimed by Noel Wilson.
 The other is the longer priced Stand Clear in the 3.45 Sedgefield  a mare bred from Sir harry Lewis (a gal against the boys!) she is a decent lil mare who hdles well in the main and having blundered badly when she ran here (even having to deal with a slipped saddle was driven up by Graham Lee  and past Cailin Na Ri in the dying stages of the race. She takes on Bandanaman for the Swinbank yard and the race weights and conditions are ideal to make a comparison with that win against Cailin Na Ri - she is back to the track she excelled at and if the conditions stay g/frm a clear round she will win 


edit no she wont was able to get my stakes matched as she went short early but simply stopped - looks as if will be giving her more chance against here own sex and dropped a bit in the handicap she did nothing wrong - just not as good as I think she can be


 and by the way ---- if your in running punt today the last fence has been  moved 1/2 furlong closer to the winning post 
 good luck


Bob
