Saturday Gamble

OK going to be quick before the early kick off and racing start - this is part 1 of 2

1pt Aston Villa @ 5.9 (Betfair): Should be 7/2 and even though Villa haven't been playing very well neither have Man Utd. Man Utd have been poor especially on the road this season and have to be opposed at odds-on here.

2pts West Ham @ 10/11 (Paddy Power, Lads): Blackpool have set themselves up for a season of heroic failure. West Ham are gradually starting to find their feet after a very slow start. I do have concerns about their confidence but they have by far the better players and I had them down as about a 4/6 shot.

2pts Man City @ 4/9: Continue to be underestimated by the bookies

0.25pts e/w Pena Dorada @ 33/1 (bet365)
0.25pts e/w Zakeeeta @ 20.0 and 5.3 (Betfair) 12.50 Cheltenham: A few bookies have the 33s but not all are paying 1/4 the odds for a place so be sure to check that out. I think the top 2 in the market are over-hyped and so I am having small interests in 2 of the outsiders who have made decent starts to their hurdling careers.
