Todays Racing Tip – ASK PADDINGTON
Time & Track – 4.00 Wetherby (11/04)
Best Odds – 4/1 @ William Hill
Stake – 1pt win
Analysis – Made it a winning handicap debut at Kelso over this trip on return to action three weeks ago and the form of that has already taken a boost with the runner-up scoring on Monday. He’s gone up 4lb but he’s only a five-year old on the improve and comes from a yard who have won this race twice in the last three seasons. He loves this quicker ground and is 2/2 over this trip, with further improvement quite likely I’d be shocked if this gelding isn’t in the places at the very least.
Result – Lost
Todays Racing Tip – DISTANT MIRAGE
Time & Track – 6.30 Newcastle (11/04)
Best Odds – 5/1 @ William Hill
Stake – 1pt win
Analysis – Only success so far came on handicap debut at Kempton from a 5lb lower mark and has ran well on two other outings in this sphere. He’s been shaping as though the step up to 7f would suit (all races so far over 6f) having stayed on well on a couple of occasions including the last day at Wolverhampton when, outpaced from an early stage, finished three-lengths off the winner. This filly has been dropped a pound for that and the booking of Jamie Spencer catches the eye for trainer James Tate (22% strike-rate together) who has saddled five winners from his last eight runners.
Result – Lost
