Nick Shiambouros' Patented 80-20 Weekend Bets

80/20 / Nick Shiambouros / 06 January 2008 / Leave a Comment

Nick's 80-20 takes on a likely short-price favourite at Southwell, how will he do?

Today's 80-20 is Rigat in the 2.40 at Southwell.

This Dansili gelding is trying this surface for the first time but has some good recent form on the Polytrack surface.

Last time out he really did not get the run of the race when finishing last behind Scamperdale at Wolverhampton. The in-form Dado Mush is bound to be a short price and Rigat should give us a fair chance of landing the 80/20 at a very solid price.

Saturday's Bet

Today's 80-20 is Colline De Fleurs in the 2.30 at Chepstow.

This Alflora gelding has got plenty of class over hurdles and hence was a very short price when contesting a poor novice chase at Folkestone last time out and was duly beaten by Chico Time in a desperate finish.

On a positive note it was a country mile back to the third horse and, in addition, Chico Time has since run well over hurdles to give the form a reasonable boost.

Today's race over this distance on heavy ground will really ensure a thorough test of stamina and Colline De Fleurs will not lack in either department and we should have a solid chance of landing the 80-20 at a fair price.
