Explosive Semtex too hot to handle!

What a sensational run by my tip Semtex in the 9:36 race last night. At nice odds of 9/1 the 4 year old fillie romped home for Diablo racing so hopefully you took my advice and backed her. I see on the forums where alot of the owners are picking their favoured starting eleven for England in the World Cup. My opinion is that even with a full squad England still don't have a hope of lifting the trophy. Expectations in this country are always wildly optimistic and the press here set the National side up for a major fall every time.
Don't get me wrong the players are here but with Sven in charge the side would do well to reach the semi's. Steve Mclaren isn't good enough either. Anyway for all tonight's top tips please click on read more......


Gazino - 8:12 - 50/1

Well the main reason I am backing this horse for a place in the first televised race of the night is because his competition isn't too hot thats for sure. Unlike many others in this line-up the 4 year old colt has a decent track record on muddy going. In 29 races to date he's emerged victorious in 4 and been placed in 5. I'd be the first to agree that this record is poor but it stands up when compared with the others in this field. Had a nightmare yesterday in Canada but he's better than this and may be able to turn things around this evening. Each way potential.

Talk of the Tyne - 8:36 - 13/2

You'd be foolish not to consider this contender from the LUFC stable. Paul has clearly spotted that this 4 year old fillie fancies yielding going and shes enjoyed ample success as a result. In 32 career runs so far she's earned £141 for the stable and many feel her best is yet to come. Has one win and three placed finishes in the last five races and hasn't run for over a week so she should be eager to let fly in Australia. Could well win but a placed finish is more likley.

Sunset strip - 9:24 - 10/1

As I'm presenting tonight on the live show with Ceri Barnett I'll probably be shot for backing this one instead of the favourite 'Craving Ceri'! However 10/1 is a nice price for Sunset strip who has impressed me in her three races to date. Owners Big Billy should be confident that this 2 year old fillie will do well with back to back placed finishes. Perhaps a win is beyond her but an each way bet may be a wise move. Remember this too is the lucky text tip race where £25 in credits can be won for your stable.
