Todays Racing Tip – DESERT ENCOUNTER
Time & Track – 2.20 Newbury (22/09)
Best Odds – 9/2 @ Blacktype
Stake – 3pt win
Analysis – This gelding has seven wins on his CV and is unbeaten over this trip which included this same race last year. His only other start at this course was when second over slightly shorter so has good course form and he was back on form after flopping in the Group 1 King George VI at Ascot when winning a listed event at Windsor under Harry Bentley who keeps the ride. His trainer David Simcock as won the last three renewals of this so this horse would have even laid out for a repeat of last year’s win and softer ground won’t be an issue. Should go close.
Result – Lost
Todays Racing Tip – ORIGINAL CHOICE
Time & Track – 1.45 Newbury (22/09)
Best Odds – 10/1 @ Bet365
Stake – 1pt win
Analysis – Unexposed over this 1m2f trip having had only the one attempt at it when beaten just over a length at Goodwood. He’s since ran two nice races over a mile and on both occasions has hinted that he’s worth another go at this longer trip. He’s won twice on good-to-soft ground so will like conditions and although 6lb higher than for last success this gelding has room for progression over this distance and can outrun his odds.
Result – Lost
Todays Racing Tip – LUALIWA
Time & Track – 4.55 Ayr (22/09)
Best Odds – 9/2 @ Marathon Bet
Stake – 2pt win
Analysis – Arrives here after two very creditable runs in class 2 seven-furlong handicaps, the first of those was when third from a 2lb higher mark in soft ground at York and that was followed up when beaten just under a length In second over the extended 7f by Oh This Is Us who went very close in a Group 2 last week. This four-year old is only a pound higher than when winning in this grade at Musselburgh in March, is over his ideal trip and although unarmed on ground this testing he’s got good form on soft so can go well dropping down a grade for this.
Result – Lost
