Racing Tips – How to bet £10 on Saturday’s racing with Templegate’s Tenner

WHEN did kids start hunting for their Easter eggs?

I would have thought in these crazy times when it’s hard to drag most young ‘uns away from the X-Station some obese cocky kid would have got his lawyer on the case to ban such torture.

I seem to remember the only exertion we had to make at Easter was when trying to crow-bar a fifth toffee-and-mallow treat into our mouths.

And what if the dog gets to the chocolate before the kids have figured out that green-and-gold glint in the bird bath isn’t a woodpecker?

No one wants to pay double rates at the vets to sort out old Chester after he’s gobbled up half a dozen of Cadbury’s finest on his trot around the garden.

So I say swerve the Easter hunts and go on the trail of some winners. And I reckon I can point you in the right direction.

MAYZOUN (3.00 Musselburgh) has been relieved of his ‘eggs’ over the winter.

Hugo Palmer’s hope looks just the sort to improve a lot for being gelded and I’m expecting him to make a winning return.

He had some decent form last season and promises to be even better this season over a mile.

There’s also a decent card over jumps at Haydock.

BEYOND THE WIRE (2.40) has taken really well to fences this season.

He moves like a smart horse and his jumping has been good.

Trainer Tom George – enjoying his best ever season – landed a Grade 1 at Aintree with The Worlds End. I reckon he’ll be picking up another nice pot today.

EASY STREET (2.05) and  are others I like on the big-money card so it might not pay to put all your eggs in one basket - if you can find the blasted things.

They’ll probably be stuck in the rose bush or under that old plant pot that’s full of slugs and the leftovers from last summer’s barbeque. Is it really worth the effort? You Betcha.
