BBOTD Friday 20th September

[Blazing Bailey]

2.30 Newbury - Signed Up 11/1 EW William Hill BOG This horses best form comes on a truely soft surface and as long as the ground stays as it is (which look likely) then this horse must definitely come into the reckoning. He ran two very good race at Sandown and Goodwood last year on soft ground. He then ran again only 9 days after that Goodwood win and unsurprisingly flopped. His reappearance on good ground this June was promising although his most recent defeat at Newmarket. Hopefully that was just a one off and if it is, this Rail Link colt has a very good chance of bouncing back to form.

Re: BBOTD Friday 20th September 14.20 Ayr: The Nifty Fox @ 18/1 Bet365 The Nifty Fox doesn't appear to be too well handicapped, yet I feel he has conditions very much in favour tomorrow as well as he showed some fine performances recently. His most recent run at Hamilton in a hot sprint handicap really caught my eye as he was travelling very much the best of all, appearing to be on the bridle until 1f out. He didn't quite come home and finished 5th in the end but I do feel this was a big performance. The drop in trip back to 5f will really suit and The Nifty Fox absolutely loves cut in the ground, not to forget he's one from one over course and distance! He is drawn in 13 which should give Philli Makin every chance to go wherever he feels it is the best place to go, if the field splits into different groups. Of course this is a very strong race here tomorrow, hugely competitive and The Nifty Fox doesn't get any younger, but 18/1 looks pretty big and I expect him to run well.
