Palm trees, coconuts and white beaches for today's 80/20

Today's 80/20 is Tropical Blue in the 2.30 at Catterick.This Fath colt showed marked improvement last time out when running on well behind Jazacosta at a huge price eventually finishing third suggesting his turn is near. Today he faces a short priced favourite but given normal improvement we should have a solid chance of landing the 80/20 at a square price.

Whilst i can see the purpose of these 80-20's there are far too many selections which from a betting perspective off very little.

Todays selection is currently 1.49 in the place market and has traded thus far for pocket money above this price.

Let say you put 10 on the win and 40 on the place then if the win doesn't prevail but the place does at 1.49 then you would win 40*0.49*0.95 (assuming 5% commission) = £18.62

So overall your profit would be 8.62 if only the place was secured.

For a stake of that magnitude the return is not great.

Not really sure there is a point to this bearing in mind the people this is aimed at.
