The Handicap Ratings and Speed Ratings combined top three strike rate for Saturday was 79% following Friday's 64%, Thursday's 79%, Wednesday's 62.5%, Tuesday's 70%, Monday's meagre 56.5%, and Sunday's 67%, a final weekly average of 68%.

There were three from five successful (4) and (5) UK graded races, Saturday - a 60% winning top two strike rate. The final weekly average was 70% (Friday was 77%, Thursday was 71%, Wednesday was 50%, Tuesday was 63%; Monday was 100%; Sunday was 71%.)

The full top three summary for Saturday:

HANDICAPS
Clear top rated strike rate was 36%. Best top rated SP was 7/1
Top two strike rate (incl joints) was 54%. Best 2nd top SP was 7/1
Top three strike rate was 69%. Best 3rd top SP was 25/1

SPEED RATINGS
Clear top rated strike rate was 18%. Best top rated SP was 25/1
Top two strike rate (incl joints) was 36%. Best 2nd top SP was 16/1
Top three strike rate was 64%. Best 3rd top SP was 7/1
note: Unless there are overnight withdrawals there is always one clear top rated horse (in both services). There are never more than three horses (in either service) in the top two in any race where there are joint 2nd tops (one top rated two joint 2nd top). There are never more than four horses in the top three (in either service) in any race where there are either joint 2nd or joint third tops.

If a horse isn't in the top three rated of the handicaps or the speed ratings, then it is highly likely it won't win.

On Sunday the cards are generally what the polite would call dross from a betting perspective. But Bathwick Man (Stratford 2-10) and Choumakeur (3-00 Newton Abbot) seem to be two horses improving faster than the handicapper has been able to catch them up. Though their prices will likely reflect that, they are worthy of betting simply because there doesn't seem to be anything remotely solid (except, of course, for long odd on Classic Swain). I will be having one other bet, a dutch, in the last at Stratford. Unfortunately, only subscribers are privvy to the precise dutch bet.

Have a good day.
