OFF TO A HORRIBLE START.

Well we started off yesterday with a horse who lost the race at the starting gates.Our selection ,FINAL DELIVERY, walked out of the starting stalls and could not recover from that terrible start.He finished well beaten  and were it not for the preceding race winners,Crew Cut and Buckland, I personally would have ended the day,a sore loser.As it tuned out,I managed to back both of the above named horses and so the loss by Final Delivery in the final race of the day did not trouble my bank balance but did cause a dent to my reputation.Nevertheless,the show must go on and so that brings me to the selection for today which I trust ,will get us off the mark at our second attempt. M.J .WOODWARD is the selection and he is priced at a mouth watering  8/1 and this horse runs in the 2.40 @ Southwell over a distance of 5 furs.The selection will have in the saddle to assist him ,the very capable Joe Fanning  while his handler is the shrewd Paul Green. The selection is drawn in Stall 2  and carries  9st,2lbs.His form figures in his last five starts read 41118 so he is clearly a very consistent animal.That last start according to Timeform can safely be ignored and in fact,he has won 5 of his last 7 starts.He has won 6 times on the all weather [ 3FB,3PO]. Although  finishing in eight position  in his last start,he only finished three lengths behind the winner,Lucky Dan. This is certainly not an open and shut case as there are quite a few animals that could potentially land the spoils. As a result,we can expect the selection ,M.J.Woodward to return to the winner's enclosure at around his presently quoted price of 8/1.This horse is certainly a game and genuine animal who will no doubt  display his true ability  and will ,in my opinion ,cut down his rivals to size. M.J Woodward  therefore,is my selection  for Tuesday 5th March 2013 and,as always each way bets is the advice.Best of luck with this selection.
