Thursday 8th March

5.00 Southwell  - Monsieur Jamie 1pt each way 14/1 VC Bet 12/1 General

Monsieur Jamie has an outstanding record at Southwell, with 4 wins and 2 seconds from his 8 starts.  When he last won at the course in November, he tanked through the race, and won cosily off a mark of 77.  He followed that up by finishing 2nd to Even Stevens, who is now rated 11lbs higher than he was that day, so that looks rock solid form as well.

On the face of it, his last 2 runs have been slightly disappointing.  He wasn’t himself, when disappointing at the course on New Year’s day, and subsequently had 6 weeks off.  He made his return to action when going off too hard over 6 furlongs at Kempton 2 weeks ago, and that should have put him spot on for his return to his favourite venue today.  He’s dropped 2 lbs. on the back of those 2 runs, and 12/1 looks a massive price for a horse with rock solid credentials.
