BEST of the BETS

Not getting much time to get on here of late, I'm afraid. But had a little look at the Wetherby card today, so here's one to avoid!

LANDING NIGHT 3:20 @ 10/1 (B365)
This is a horse that I do tend to follow, though not always easy to catch on a going day.
I feel today he has a cracking e/w chance at a nice price. But for the draw, I would be going win only.

The horse drops back into a C5, running off a mark of 74. This is a tempting mark, having won previously off marks of 77, 76 & 75 (3 times).
PJ McDonald takes up his customary ride on the horse, with whom he obviously has a decent relationship.
He has ridden 7 of the horses 8 wins.
In total 43 rides on the horse have yielded the 7 wins, plus another 11 placed efforts.
Landing Night is turned out quickly, having run at Thirsk on Saturday (3 day break).
This could be somewhat significant, as 5 of the horse's wins have come after a break of 8 days or less.
The fact that the horse went down by 5 lengths on Saturday isn't of particular concern either, as penultimate runs before previous wins have seen defeat by margins such as ....8L, 7&1/4L, 6&1/2L.

As mentioned drawn 10 of 10 on a sharp Left handed track is far from ideal, but the bend does come early. Landing Night often does all his good work late on, and the extra 1/2 furlong could see him coming through with a rattle. Or at least that's what I'm hoping for!!

I also like the look of ZODIAKOS in the following race, at 3:55. Another turned out quickly following a 2nd by a neck defeat at Hamilton on Sunday. This one has shortened from around 6s to 9/2 this morning, and I'm sure will be aiming to make amends today.

God Help you if following!
