Exeter Thursday 12th October

Exeter 4.50 3 Minella Treasure - 1 point each way @ 13/2 (Ladbrokes / SkyBet odds to 4th)

Exeter 5.20 4 Leg Lock Luke - 1 point each way @ 6/1 9Ladbrokes + Coral odds to 4th)

The standout option for me at an each way price that makes it a bit of a punt to nothing in the 4.50
is MINELLA TREASURE. It looks well enough handicapped on 2 solid pieces of form last year and although it has had
a break of 4 months or so, has good form too in the Point 2 Point sphere when fresh and over this kind of trip and further.
It looks a more solid option and better prospect that Chantecler, an ex Flat horse, who can pull too hard and who could struggle
to get home on this track as a result, and also is preferred to the likes of Limoncello and Cup Of Ambition, another with a bit
of interesting Point 2 Point Form. If there is a dark horse at bigger odds it could be Tim Vaughans; Orchardstown Cross; whose

decent P2P form, may have so far been hidden over inadequate trips on less suitable tracks and mat be worth a bit of shrapnel.

 

In the final race at 5.20, I think there is a lot of deadwood to be honest and the likes of Benbecula and Grams And Ounces
though capable and likely to run honest races are really exposed to anything progressive. The Tizzards may be ready to roll
very early this season and LEG LOCK LUKE looks a very likely horse of potential and again with enhanced odds form Sky
looks an each way banker at 6/1. I will leave the option to you of backing him and Minella Treasure as straight win bets at 6/1
but it is early season and the conservative and sensible approach may be each way singles and a small each way double.
