Todays Racing Tip – PENDLETON
Time & Track – 2.40 Carlisle (29/08)
Best Odds – 10/3 @ Betfair
Stake – 1pt win
Analysis – Successful on final start in novice company and on first start after his winter break when winning at Newcastle at the end of April. He wasn’t at his best on heavy ground on handicap debut but has since ran two solid races in defeat, beaten by three-quarters-of-a-length in both of those (all three handicap runs have come at Haydock). His latest run came on good-to-soft so will handle the ground if there’s any give and the handicapper has been very lenient in keeping him on the same mark. He’s been gelded since and if arriving in the same form then he holds very strong claims.
Result – Lost
Todays Racing Tip – PENTEWAN
Time & Track – 3.40 Carlisle (29/08)
Best Odds – 6/1 @ Betfair
Stake – 1pt win
Analysis – Was beaten half-a-length in a Newcastle novice event on her second start and went down by the same margin on nursery debut behind the same horse. Those both came over 6f, as did when second at Hamilton at the beginning of the month, and she shaped as though she’s well worth a go at this longer trip having stayed on well through the line. This is a drop in grade and as a result she has to carry joint top weight but she might be capable of doing so in the hands of Ben Curtis who rides this course well (24% strike-rate).
Result – Lost
