The New 'HWJB' Betting Dairy

[Hwjb]

Femme d'Avril UNPLACED. Made no impact, not knocked about once held.
Rich Nomad UNPLACED. Caught the eye and isn't one to give up on, given plenty to do and leaving the firm impression she wasn't seen to best effect, not given anything like a hard time.


At Exeter today Nemetan looks to hold pretty solid each-way claims in the handicap chase at 3:50. Whilst the yard haven't had a winner since New Year's Day it's not as if they are running much below form and this one has been unfortunate in he has been ridden exclusively by Andrew Thornton and Robert Walford, both grossly deficient jockeys. Christian Williams isn't much better, it must be said, but he should come on for his reappearance (though it is a slight worry that he's been off 9 weeks since) and I don't think he is the second string (Jacob always rides Silver Inngot). Ladbrokes were going 10/1 earlier which I've missed, but I'm still prepared to take the 13/2 on offer at Betfred as Betfair seems to be down at the moment.

In the handicap hurdle that follows Idian Mix looks pretty well handicapped on his return from 22 months off and 7/2 looks a fair price.


Nemetan 1pt e/w 13/2
Idian Mix 1pt win 7/2
