Still knocking at that door

It's been a pretty quiet last couple of days, with just two selections, both running well but unable to get their noses in front.

Let's start yesterday where we had:

TIME COURSE SELECTION 1pt/2pt win Bookmaker(s) / Price(s)

8.05 Sand Monopolize 1pt 8-1 B365, W HIll (BOG) B.Square, S James

Henry Cecil's 3yo ran well, stepping up nicely on his only run last year, but despite putting in a good effort he wasn't able to quicken enough in the closing stages and finished a not beaten far third, well clear of fourth, after starting at 7.1

And then today we had:

TIME COURSE SELECTION 1pt/2pt win Bookmaker(s) / Price(s)

8.20 Catt Houston Dynimo 1pt 6-1 B365, Boyle, 11-2 P Power

And this was our our third second place finish in our last four picks. Houston Dynimo started at 9/2 and was always up there, and looked to have a decent chance turning for home, but he drifted across the track and while he kept on well, he was beaten just over a length.

Confirmation of results with prices (advised --- SP):

Thursday 19th May 2011

Monopolize, 3rd/12, 8/1 --- 7/1

Friday 20th May 2011

Houston Dynimo, 2nd/7, 6/1 --- 9/2

So roll on the weekend!
