Captain's Blog - Tuesday 9th October

Gladiatrix was a four-star winner for us yesterday at Windsor, which as amazing as it may seem, means we are on something of a roll here on the blog. The pressure is on to keep the run going though and to be honest anyone who has watched me putt on the golf course will know that handling pressure is not my thing. I used to be good when I was under the pump, but with age comes a loss of bottle. To deal with sporting or punting pressure you need bottle.

Speaking of this important commodity the sport that requires as much bottle as any is beginning to wind up to its world championships. Yes the darts circuit is in full flow and there will be plenty of pressure situations to enjoy during the World Grand Prix of Darts that takes place in Dublin starting this week. I prefer to call it doubling up in Dublin because each leg starts and finishes on a double. It is magnificent stuff even if the great Sid Waddell is sadly not around to describe the action. It will not be over until the Christmas lights are on everywhere and we are all dancing in a Taylor wonderland.

Here we go then, today's selection is Desert Image in the 5.10 at Leicester. There was plenty of promise in his debut run at Newbury where he was second to a decent type. The speed figure he ran was good enough to suggest that he can win this. The ground is a slight concern given that the dam's sire was Danzig, but all in all he rates as a two star wager. In other words don't go mad, but have an interest.

Have a good day folks.

 

Today's Selection

5.10 Leicester - 2* Desert Image

* If I have a strong view about a selection I will always make that apparent and I scale the confidence I have in my selections. One is minimum faith and 10 is maximum bet stuff.
