Tennis and Racing

Its that time of year again when middle aged women from the home counties wet their knickers for the plucky Henman replacement that is Andy Murray, who will inevitably crash out while ranting at a linesman and will rapidly switch from being a British hero to a Scottish loser. Skinny prices generally but a few for you to combine:

12.00 Lopez, Karanusic & Vaidisova Treble 10/11 (WON +0.29 - all three eased
These three competent players are all playing three players who have never got past the third round, having been dumped unceremoniously out in at least the last three years. Easy fodder.

2.30 Bollelli, Karlovic & Andreev Double 12/11 (LOST -0.71 - Bogdanovic made it 6 from 6 first round defeats, but the big Croatian let me down)
Croatia and Russia combine with two of the biggest serves in tennis to wipe Vanek and Stadler out of the tournament faster than even some Brits! But no slower than 5 times first round loser Alex Bogdanovic. One year he won't even make it past Earls Court tube!

9.20 Chepstow Garland 6/1 ew (LOST -1.71 - had a chance with a furlong to go, but struggled from then)
Has improved in her two handicaps to date, and definitely so for the tongue tie last time. This looks a low quality affair, which could be enough for Richard Hannon to take the last race of the day.
