Fibresand is something else...

Today, there is a lay to be had on the Fibresand at Southwell. This surface is one that some horses run much better on, and conversely, some horses simply don't enjoy it.

2:45 Southwell:
Lay Duster(up to 2.0)
Showed good speed at Lingfield on debut, and this drop back to 6f could indeed suit her. However she'll didn't handle the bend at all that day, and with Southwell being left-handed as well, if this horse has a problem with the bend again, it'll be difficult for her to win.
Add in the possibility of her not taking as well to this surface, and at odds-on, I'm willing to oppose her.


As for the cricket, shame England performed so dismally in the 4th Test match, but I fear that unless there is a return to fitness of the talismanic Flintoff, the Aussies could actually win the series now.

Politics looking quite dead now, as the summer recess is underway. Really depressing to see such a generally undeserving lot on a 12 week break, sunning themselves in luxury destinations.
Oh well...
