Alan Dudman picks out two tips for Catterick in a Sportsbook 47/148.00 double for Wednesday
Catterick - 14:20: Back Obee Jo @ 7/18.00
Tim Easterby's Obee Jo is sliding down in the ratings, but the hope here for the opener at Catterick is that he's a well treated horse back at a track he likes.
He's a three-time course-and-distance winner so dropping back down from 1m to his optimum 7f here can hopefully lead to a better run, and he missed the break and was slowly away at Carlisle just four days ago.
Prominent tactics have served him well at Catterick in the past, and drawn in four, the option is there to revert to more forward thinking tactics, and Amie Waugh has to be seen as a positive booking.
Waugh, usually in action for Jim Goldie, has ridden a couple of winners for Easterby in the past, although at 2-73 historically, the numbers mean very little as Easterby is a bit of a scatter-gun trainer.
A couple of runners came out this morning but 7/18.00 is a big enough price here at a track he goes well at and runs from 51 - his lowest mark for a long time.
Back Obee Jo in the 14:20 at Catterick
Catterick - 15:50: Back Call Me Betty @ 5/16.00
It could be time that trainer Michael Dods starts to warm up following a couple of winners this week and Call Me Betty going handicapping in a winnable race makes her of interest at 5s.
She had shown a bit of ability on her second start at Thirsk in May and confirmed that promise to win a Wolverhampton Maiden just two weeks ago.
Call Me Betty was well-backed at Dunstall Park and she produced a clued-up performance. She got away handy in second, tracked all throughout and did the right thing in coming off the rail into the straight - all fairly straightforward.
Hanging left has been apparent in her runs to date, but I like Wolverhampton left-handed form going to Catterick although the draw in seven presents a slight problem if she misses the break or gets behind.
But with Dods at last showing signs of life, her opening mark of 66 shouldn't be beyond her.
