Today’s Horse Racing Tips
Todays Racing Tip – BARDD
Time & Track – 2.00 Huntingdon (10/05)
Best Odds – 13/2 @ Bet365
Stake – 1pt win
Analysis – Has become quite frustrating to follow over hurdles so far having gone close on several occasions but has been kept match-fit with recent outings on the all-weather (including a victory over 1m6f) and connections would have been waiting for the ground to dry out. He’s off a mark of 109 which really should be exploited especially with the very talented James Bowen claiming a further 3lb from the saddle. Nicky Henderson has a 30% strike-rate at this track and he’s started the new season in good form so if putting everything together here then I think he’ll go very close.
Result – Lost
Todays Racing Tip – GHOSTWATCH
Time & Track – 4.35 Chester (10/05)
Best Odds – 3/1 @ Bet365
Stake – 3pt win
Analysis – Handicap debut for this three-year old after a couple of sound third’s in Novice events last term before a reappearance win on Wolverhampton’s tapeta last month over this mile-and-a-half trip. Cost 2,100,000gns as a yearling and an opening mark of 82 looks more than manageable especially as this son of Dubawi has a Derby entry. Charlie Appleby remains in good form and he’s got a fair draw from stall 4 so could be too hot for this field.
Result – Lost
Todays Racing Tip – GENTLEMAN JON
Time & Track – 6.50 Wincanton (10/05)
Best Odds – 13/2 @ Bet365
Stake – 2pt win
Analysis – This ten-year old won the Badger Ales over C&D back in November 2016 from a 3lb higher mark and also beat a rival over slightly further here a month before that. Can be forgiven the last day when pulled up in bottomless ground as he’s much better on a quicker surface (all wins on good/good-to-firm). He went down by just under a length in a 0-145 class 2 at Newbury (from two have franked the form since) and a repeat of that now back in a 0-125 at a track he goes well at will make this gelding hard to beat after a short break.
Result – Won
