Mike Weir couldn't quite make it three from three yesterday but it was still another up day. Newcastle abandoned today, but still winners to be had elsewhere and the rugby boys are back in action tonight.
1.20 Lingfield Haldibari 2/1 (LOST +16.35 - 2nd to the danger, but never really looked like winning it fromt he home turn)
Showed good promise on hurdles debut and the drop back in trip should suit. Souriceau the danger, but didnt look straightforward last time.
2.40 Southwell Realt Na Mara 15/8 (WON +18.23 - 3 wins on AW now and finished strongly again)
Has looked right at home on the all weather since coming over from Ireland with 2 wins and a place from 4 runs. Only up 3lbs from last win, so has a very good shout again today.
7.10 Edinburgh+9 to beat Cardiff 10/11 (Edinburgh WON 11-10 +19.14 - Cardiff lacked spark and Edinburgh played a good tight game)
Whereas footballers can cope with 4 games in 14 days, the physical exertions of rugby require more rest and recovery periods, and this will be Cardiff's third game in 9 days. They tired towards the end of the game against Ospreys earlier this week and dont have a big squad to allow them to rotate. Normally 9pts would be a fiar handicap, but with the recent workload, Edinburgh should cover that.
