@3.00

Lose

-50

There was a lot to like about Rae Guest's Lia Rose's reppearnce run after a lengthy spell when making ground for third last time out and wiht the benefit of that run udner her belt it should not take too much to be right in the fight here either.

Placed in this class previously in only attempt in the grade, has a 5-2-2 record with the headgear on and the distance will suit. All in all, augurs well, in present solid good form, for another stout showing.

Eligible

@13.00

Lose

-50

Joanna Mason is in a great vein of riding form at present with a 17.8% strike rate in the alst fortnight and she takes the mount on the Easterby-trained Eligible, who would likely appreciate the sting out of the groundf, so start praying for rain.

Topweight resumes here and Sir Michael Stoute should have this prosming type well forward to put his hoof in the till fresh-up, as he has done in the past. Off a 200+ day break here but won first-up last term off a 190-day let-up. Should be in for a forward showing.

True Courage

True Courage gets down to a handy weight here on the minimum even though he's won in this class at his last start. Luke Morris to do the steering and could back up nicely.

Disregard resuming effort as not only needed it but was caught wide for a good aprt of the journey and that will have told. Came in for support and where there's smoke there's fire, so go again each way I reckon.

Easy Bucks could upset for the Bowen family here. Has won at Perth previously and this distance and comes back to the bigger fences after having resumed recently with a hurdle 'sharpener'. James Bowen knows the horse well.

@4.20

Jospeh O'Brien has this maiden galloper ready to strike by the looks. Some of the rest here look rather mediocre at best and this one has shown enough to date to suggest a win is close at hand and the distance should suit nicely too at this stage of prep.

This looks a weak field and represents perhaps the best chance in a limited career so far for Copie Conforme to break through for a deserved success. At the improving stage after two runs back and a forward showing is expected.

21:00 Girona v Villarreal

Girona

50 WIN

@1.73

Lose

-50

Girona have had a great season and are building all the time as whereas Vill are in the doldrums really in 8th spot Girona will want to celebrate their first Champions League spot and this is the perfect opportunity to showcase their skills but these matches don't always go to the supposed script and I think this could be closer than many think.

Girona #1-0

50 WIN

@15.00

Lose

-50

I think this will be a willing encounter and with Girona having the home advantage that may sway things their way with one unanswered goal by the time the final whistle blows.

20:30 Real Madrid v CD Alaves

Yes (BTTS)

Both Teams to Score

50 WIN

@2.20

Lose

-50

Alaves are coming off a good draw with their star striker scoring twice and so there will be a willingness to take on Real and show that they are not easy beats here. I think they can pout at least one in the back of the net.

Real Madrid #3-1

50 WIN

@12.00

Lose

-50

Some of the top players might be rested here against a team they have tended to dominate 13-2 historically in HTH so while Real look the winners I think Alaves will not go down without a decent fight.

20:00 Tottenham v Man City

Man City & Yes (Result + BTTS)

Result and BTTS

50 WIN

@2.20

Lose

-50

Bit of insurance here as I have a 2-0 bet at 11-1 on Manchester City and this is a saver bet in that respect wihich still nets 10% profit if that doesn't come off and Tottenham happen to score. Yes MC still have to win and there are no forgone conclusions in this game as we all know, but I think they will be strongly motivated to do so with those premiership aspirations being high.

Erling Haaland

First Goalscorer

50 WIN

@3.75

Win

138

Erling Harland will have a point to prove here after recent controveries and comments from others and I expect him to keep building on his goal scoring record this season.

Man City #2-0

50 WIN

@12.00

Win

550

Many might be expecting Manchester City to demolish Totenham but they are a tough side and defensively could be up for this as a nothing to lose sort of approach. I'm opting for two-nil for City then.

19:30 Grasshoppers v Yverdon Sport FC

Draw

50 WIN

@3.90

Lose

-50

Grasshopper are coming off the back of four successive losses and Yverdon, who are second in the league, are in mixed form. Grasshoppers have historically edged their rivals but they drew in their penultimate encounter porior to a 3-2 win to Yverdon in a willing encounter. This will be a good match but I think there could be a repeat of the December result here with a draw being msot likely for my money.

Yes (BTTS)

Both Teams to Score

50 WIN

@1.73

Lose

-50

Yverdon won 3-2 in their lst encounter and prior to that they drew 1-1, so the likelhihood with two willing teams at 5th (Grasshoppers) and 2nd (Yv) in the premiership respectively, is that both will score again.

Draw #1-1

50 WIN

@7.50

Lose

-50

While the bookies have Grasshoppers as favourites, which somewhat surprises me given they've lost their last four games, they've kept the draw option of 1-1 as the favoured draw option here and I think that's priced well.

19:30 Rangers v Dundee

Rangers #2-0

50 WIN

@7.00

Lose

-50

Rangers are in mixed form but they have a good record against Dundee and should win this. They have an 82% record of getting more than 1.5 goals in their wins, so I'm opting for 2-0 to the home lads.

Two good efforts recently off the back of honest form before that. Good jockey and trainer combination and the opposition doesn't look that great. Good chance to win this.

Ravenglass is as honest as the day is long and hardly ever runs a bad race. Two good seconds recently and looks in the right touch to go one better this time of asking.

I like the odds for a horse that showed a bit of ability last season without setting the eworldn on fire. That was suggestive of further imrpovement this season and any rain should help given breeding. Good rider a bonus.

Looked a horse who might need a little bit of time early on in career and Joseph O'Brien provided it with a spell after two races. Expeting a strionger horse to materialise here and race accordingly.

Good solid resumption when second and just the type to carry on with it here if the stamina component is there in the preparation. They're all different second-up but that stamina component can make all the difference.

Twomey (trainer) and W J Lee (jockey) combine here and they should nick well with their respective abilities. Lee is a top rider on this course in particular and that will be a big help for the Mahmes filly who's last start win at Dundalk spoke to the future I thought. This is tougher but should step up.

Smart type at best and knows how to get out of the boxes at speed in the main and learning as he races. Good type and should take beating if he gets to the front and finds the rail in doing so. Don't want him to eb covering extra ground on a track like this or could be vulnerable.

10:45 Sydney FC v Central Coast Mariners

Sydney FC #3-2

50 WIN

@23.00

Lose

-50

The odds may be a bit short for a result like this but I think they will both be very keen to score goals and that could cut them both defensively and turn it into shootout alley if they're both open to a running game and to see who prevails. Evenly matched so maybe pretty much on the scoreline to with the home advntage getting Sydney home perhaps.

Big Debates has placed three times on the flat at point-to-points in three lifetime starts, stays well and may have brought Joan Tyler out of retirement to ride him. Seh hasn't been seen for two years, so that might be a pointer in itself, given R Tyler is the trainer.

Ultra-consitent this fellow and seems to be getting betetr with a bit of age on him. Strong rider up in J J Spevin and he is riding well at present. J P O'Brien is one of the top trainers on this course. All in all it augurs well for aniother solid performance by Nurburgring.

Gold Bullion is here for the old team of Blackmore and De Bromnhead, both of whom perform well on this track. This horse still appears to be coming to terms with the bigegr fences after a promising start as a hurdler but with three under the belt now I think an impproved run looks well in order today.

Ulsan Hyundai have the ability to win this even though away from home. FC Seoul have been a bit ordinary at times and could be found wanting on their home track. Two unanswered goals to the visitors for me.

Rank outside and on paper is entitled to be but won at Wexford first-up in yielding footing and provided the rain stays away should get conditions to suit again. Failed second-up but given time of to strengthen and caught fresh again here might surprise.

Yes, it's hard to see them being the very talented favourite here but every dog/horse has its day and accidents sometimes unfortunately happen in races and if the favourite was to misjudge one here then this is just the sort of horse to capitalise. Still learning the ropes compared to many here but with Blackmore in the pigskin won't want for help in that regard.

Confidential Gosip (who no second P in gossip I wonder) was a solid enough fourth on debut and made a good fist of things for a long while before he mistimed a fence and that took the stuffing out of him late in the piece.

Adelaide United to spoil the partry at home for the Central Coast Mariners, who have, along with The Phoenix from NZ been playing gangbusters recently.
