Used to tip professionally in the early 2000's, now doing it just for fun. I enjoy mostly horse racing (fav. horses include Kazzia, Goldikova, Bogart, Sky Lantern), football, tennis and US Sports. I like writing anything from a novel to a couple of poems and songs. Multitasking in writing is the best supplier when you get that inspiration rush!

Yet to emulate the 4 Fast Standard Going wins up to June this year. Rispoli takes the mount for the first time, as this Sky Mesa gelding tackles turf for the fourth time. Proves consistent and wouldn't be too far from a win under these conditions. Certainly races over 6 furlongs enough to consider.

Arsenal have not allowed any goals this season, and although a couple of notable absentees, their focus is especially not to lose if they are to still be relevant in a title fight. Liverpool is on fire at the moment, but they can take their guard down every now and then. Prior to the season start, Liverpool won a friendly between the sides 2-1. The draws happen in this fixture, but the last draw at Arsenal's stadium happened in 2018.

Chelsea will play ManU away, then have Arsenal at home as far as the Premiership is concerned. So against Newcastle, who have not won in their last four Premier League matches and have only one away win so far against Wolves, the Blues should have more in their arsenal to deal with the Magpies.

Spurs could slip up on points here, as Palace is looking for their first win. The last Palace win happened here at their home back in 2021. Since then, Spurs won all encounters. Tottenham lost away to Brighton but have won four other meetings home and away before and after that match.

The home team in this fixture won five times in a row in the Premier League recently. Previously, the away team got away with a couple of wins.

Ipswich are yet to win, and going to Brentford won't be an easy task to come away with points. Ipswich, however, have drawn four in a row prior to the latest two losses. Brentford won their home matches against teams who have not won a match so far, and although Ipswich would fall into that category, the four draws the Tractor Boys worked out is a CV that they could make it difficult for the Bees' game to develop.

Racked up a hat-trick of wins of late. Jockey will be J.C. Gainford, who only rode the selection once into 3rd of 4th at Limerick prior to the seasonal break.

Forest is undefeated on the road this season, having won two matches, one of them away at Liverpool. Leicester finally won one at home and actually won a match when they beat Bournemouth.

Couldn't beat a Chad Brown-trained hotpot at Saratoga on debut, but made up late ground to finish 3rd over half a furlong shorter. Upped in distance and with Dylan Davis (who did something similar in a previous race on the card, namely gaining late ground to win), this could be the filly's day. For all has to beat another favorite here, but not a hotpot at least.

In their head-to-head, just about every other game or every other two games is a draw on a few occasions. Both teams are going fairly well; Rovers keep surprising and keeping up into a playoff place, while Brom is level on points with them, just one more goal making the difference. This is a possible sitting on the fence result, as one team comes into this with a home win, and the other with a couple of draws of late.

Two teams who've got two great wins over the weekend. You can say it's a six-pointer this early in the season. Portsmouth have historically found some great winning moments at Cardiff up to 2007, but after losing a couple in the 2010s, they just won in a League Cup match in 2022, the last time the teams met. Portsmouth followed the good draw vs Oxford by beating QPR, and they would feel they have momentum.

There have been a couple of patterns to this fixture: first the home side won three in a row, while recently the away side won three in their h2h. Only one draw ever, that happening back in 1988.

Norwich have done quite well at Preston on a few occasions. This is a time which catches Preston undefeated at home after a home loss at the beginning of the season. Norwich is the team closer to the playoffs in 7th place, so Preston may just be taking a bite of the draw.

@3.25

Wednesday have had their struggles facing Swansea at home through the years. Swansea has not done so well on the road this season, but they lost four away from home against much stronger quality teams, only one win versus Coventry. Since Wednesday isn't a consistent outfit, they got a draw with QPR not so long ago at home, and that's pretty much like Coventry strength-wise, a dormant team with fair players, in one respect or another. So, Swansea should lick their fingers and get away with a win if all goes well. Swansea is ahead of them in the table by the virtue of 1 point.

Stoke City have had the better of the argument through the years. Bristol does coe in undefeated in their last five games, and from being successful at Middlesbrough over the weekend, so they won't be a cakewalk. Given Stoke have had their striuggle, they have put up a fair fight to draw their last two matches, but their last three, in fact, were against lower level compared to Bristol City. A draw owuld be best they could hope for in my humble opinion.
