More seconditis

Frustrating day today with two account bets.

First up we had Dream Win, 3pt win @ 4/1.
Thought to come on lots for his latest win, especially with the step up in trip. The main concern was if he would stay the extra 2 furlongs.
He was ridden with the emphasis on getting the trip, being held up at the back throughout. He stayed on well enough but was never put in a position to challenge. Not the greatest of rides in truth.

We also backed Free As A Lark, 2pt win @ 4/1.
Said to have come on considerably for her last run she was well fancied by connections today.
She travelled well throughout but didn't get the best of runs with a couple of furlongs to go. However, she barged her way through a bit and led inside the final furlong until the post where she was caught and dead heated for second.
Annoyingly her stable mate was the winner at 25/1.

The other horse to dead heat for second, Captivator, looked particularly unlucky and is one to look out for next time out.

Elsewhere we would have had a maximum bet on Elshabakiya in the first at Leicester if the price had been better.
She is a very nice horse and although she could only manage second here (the winner looked potentially very decent) she will go on to win races.

Unlikely to be a bet tomorrow as the racing is very poor. However, the end of the week is looking very interesting already.
