Salmon ready for National!

Well, after an excellent Cheltenham, it was disappointment on two counts for Salmons, with Aston Villa woefully losing their home encounter with Wolves and Enland failing to take The Grand Slam after capitulating in their final Six Nations Rugby match against Ireland.

One ray of hope has been the steady progress of Sri Lanka in the ICC World Cup who have delighted Salmon followers by reaching their second consecutive final. Available at 11-10 only now, Salmons who invested half a point on the Sri Lankans at 23-5 will be looking forward to the final this weekend.

Turning our attention back to Racing, The Lincoln looks it's usual minefield and despite running throught the stats and attempting to find something, the best we could do was the recently (and heavily) backed favourite - Taqleed, so we're going to avoid a punt and enjoy the race.

One race we won't be avoiding having a tickle at is the Grand National. Our Antepost tip has failed to make the line up, but second choice in our Antepost preview (see Tuesday 15th Feb), a horse called Frankie Figg is still in. Bet 365 offer Best Odds, Non-Runner No Bet AND 5 places, so we're going to put a little on this front running type at a staggering 80-1.

Of our other highlighted horses, both Big Fella Thanks and Niche Market are steady in the market and although they are available at 16s with other firms, Bet365 is the place to bet these animals at 14s with the 5 places paid.

2.5 points invested then in the sequence below. However if you are a fan of State Of Play, we are still keen. We are hoping to find 25-1 with one of the firms paying 5 places, so hold fire on that one for now and let's bask in the fact that Salmons are still 23.5 points up for the year.

Big Fella Thanks (Grand N'nal) 0.5 points e/way [14-1 Bet365 1/4 odds 1,2,3,45]
Niche Market (Grand National) 0.5 points e/way [14-1 1/4 odds 1,2,3,4,5]
Frankie Figg (Grand National) 0.25 points e/way [80-1 Bet 365 1/4 odds 1,2,3,4,5]

Profit/Loss Update:

2011 P/L = +23.5 points (up to 30/03/2011)

Mar 2011 = +10.87
Feb 2011 = +0.73
Jan 2011 = +11.9

2010 Total P/L = +7.75
