Hope you spread betters took my advice yesterday. I dont see the market makers adjusting their view as they will get slammed by the arb players out there so chance to make hay. Yes there may be the odd one you get burned on but over the tournament you will be up. And while we're talking off piste bets, I've taken a friendly fiver with the leading captain of the Middlesex County Cricket League. I've offered him 6/1 Windies to win the third test. Any more takers out there?

3.20 Beverley River Kent 5/4 (2nd -2.92 - maybe a classic case of seconditis here. Looked like he'd set the race up nicely to win, but didn't press home in final furlong and lost by a length)
The standout on form in the field, and with his last run being over course and distance and missing out by a nose he has to be the one to beat today, despite a 3lb rise.

5.00 Portugal to beat Czech Republic 5/6 (WON -2.09 - not the most convincing from Portugal, but they're through, and a final game against already eliminated Switzerland should now be routine)
The Czech performance wasn't as bad as some people would have you believe. They were comfortable without ever really being tested by the Swiss. However, Portugal were as impressive as suggested, and you just felt they could go up a gear if needed. The Czechs are big and physical but aging, and the pace and play of Deco, Ronaldo, Simao etc should expose that weakness and put Portugal as good as through.
