My good Salmons, what more can you ask for?! After something of a hiatus, the Salmon bounces back over the weekend with 2 winning tips out 3 and a 7.75 point profit.
With this in mind and no desperate rush for a punt this week, we are going to have a quick look at my antepost Premier League suggestions. A quarter of the way through the season, we are looking at a mixed situation.
Unfortunately, our most ambitious investment (Frank Lampard to be top scorer) looks to have already ran it's race, particularly with three of his teammates having scored 5 or more already.
Meanwhile Blues (to be relegated) could still be a runner. I've not been particularly impressed with them thus far and considering they're only 1 point above the drop zone and facing almost certain defeat when travelling to the mighty Villa this weekend(!), we have no need to be overly concerned at present.
By far the most interesting of our runners at this stage is Arsenal to win the league. Investing 4 points each way is the biggest punting suggestion so far and in spite of the fact that the Gooners are still available at 6-1, bear in mind that, backed each way antepost with Paddy Power, we have the luxury of scoring if they finish in the top 3. They seem to be improving, and after a great win at Eastlands yesterday, it would be foolish to write them out of the equation.

Monet lands Salmon a pick-me-up!
Well, a grand day of racing sees Monet's Garden retain the Old Roan and net Salmon followers a tasty 4.75 point profit. A little mention for Native Khan here, as I thought he was rather unlucky in the Racing Post Trophy. True, he may not have had the class to win, but was hampered and bumped and I felt possibly deserved a place. Oh well - onwards!
Moving away from racing for a moment, tomorrow sees a fascinating days football in the Prem, with Manchester United, Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool all in action. I shall leave the Stoke v Man Utd alone as the hosts are reliable at home and Utd don't seem to be quite the force they once were. I fancy a small double on Liverpool and Arsenal to win. I'm sure that now is the time to back the Reds and the general 4-6 is too big even taking into account their problems. Having said that I'm not keen to lump on, so looking at the days other fixture we have to make a choice. I know Man City have beaten other high quality rivals at Eastlands, but I just have a feeling Arsenal may put in a performance and nick a 1-0 victory. Get on the double and come on you Gunners!!
Liverpool & Arsenal (0.75 point double) 4-1 Bet365

Mixed TV Card Whets Salmon's Appetite!
Bonjour fellow fish.
Another interesting card Racing wise this weekend, perhaps not with the class of last weekend, but certainly the intrigue.
It would seem logical to start with Racing Post Trophy and so we will. A case could be made for almost all the runners. Form would suggest Casamento, potential might suggest Dunboyne Express, jockey wise you could take Master Of Hounds, while Brian Meehan has an excellent training record in this race and saddles the highly respected Titus Mills. However, I am going to side with highly thought of Native Khan. Ok, he may not have been as concincing as others in the field up until now, but has the ever winner-hungry Paul Hanagan in the driver's seat and could be a huge price at 10-1 with Bet365.
Elsewhere, we'll look at the Old Roan Chase at Aintree. A good quality field this with some old adversaries re-acquainting themselves. It is always difficult to be sure which of these will need the run, and in Tartak, Poquelin and Alberta's Run, we have a trio of strong contenders. Once again though I am going against the grain and with one of my old favourites - the 12 year old Monet's Garden. Always a game animal and winner of this race in 2007 & 2009, he could well take some beating in spite of his advancing years. \only 6 runners, so difficult to make a case for an each way bet. 9-2 with Bet365 seems about right so take the price online and let's hope we have a little drift to 11-2/6s.
Native Khan (2.55 Doncaster) 1 point each way [10-1 Bet365]
Monet's Garden (3.25 Aintree) 1.5 points win [9-2 Bet365]

Salmon cooling off after run of theft
Salmon fans, it is with regret that I share with you the theft of a large sum of money 10 days that has put the Salmon's betting boots firmly away recently. You will know if you are a regular follower that we stand +0.5 points since the debut post and as such i am going to offer a little Ante-post flutter for you.
Try a small each way double on Saamid in the Dewhurst and Debussy in the Champion Stakes. Saamid is better value than the two market leaders in the Dewhurst (although a small e/w case could be made for Native Khan) while Debussy is huge in an open Champion Stakes.
0.25 points each way double - Saamid & Debussy (5-1 & 20-1 Coral)
