Todays Racing Tips

[The Brigadier]

We're having some technical issues today and some people can't see the Daily Racing Tips so here's a copy for those that are interested :-

 

Daily Acca

 

Kempton 6.00

Jungle Run

Is chasing a hat trick tonight following success’s at fellow all weather tracks Wolverhampton and Chelmsford. He shoulders a 6lb penalty for his victory at the latter a week ago when making all and coming home clear of his rivals to the tune of 7L. Even under the penalty he’s well in and with similar tactics likely to be employed can run his rivals ragged again. Jack Mitchell has been in the plate for those two wins and retains the ride on Tom Clover’s improving gelding.

 

Leopardstown 3.40

Haziya

Landed a gamble when winning at over a mile here on Saturday and will be hard to beat under a 7lb penalty and an extra two furlongs to travel. That win was his first run for Joseph O ‘Brien having joined from Mick Halford and he looks a horse who can win again and even make his mark in pattern company later in the season.

 

Leopardstown 4.15

Pearls Galore

Patrick Twomey introduces his useful five year old here and this represents a drop in class for her. A two time group three winner last season she was also runner up in two group ones and saw the season out by finishing g a highly credible 6th beaten 3L to Space Blues in the Breeders Cup Mile Turf. If she’s straight enough she’ll be hard to beat. Her big danger is the Johnny Murtagh trained Raadobarg who landed a gamble in the Irish Lincoln on his re-appearance and is officially rated now only two pound behind the selection. He may however prefer softer ground.

 

Today's NAP bet

 

Kempton 8.30

Wild Crusade 

Godolphin runner Wild Crusade looks nap material tonight and rates as the best bet of the day. The Dubawi colt kept on well to master his stable companion Nahaani by half a length over course and distance back in January with the pair 5L clear of the remainder in a novice stakes contest. Nahaani has come out since and won a similar contest by 9 lengths giving that form plenty of substance and he may well be well in today. He should be very hard to beat with William Buick doing the steering.

 

Daily Tips

 

Nottingham 2.15

Speycaster

Making his handicap debut this Ralph Beckett trained three year old looks one to follow as he steps up in distance throughout the season. He progressed as a two year old winning at Chelmsford in November over a mile and will no doubt appreciate todays extra two furlongs. He made his debut on soft ground when down the field but his half brother was a dual winner in Italy on heavy and as his dam is by soft ground specialist Monsun I’m hopeful that Rob Hornby’s mount will handle the conditions.

 

Nottingham 3.25

Papa Don’t Preach

Best in at todays weights in this 5F conditions stakes is the Charlie Hills trained Kodiac gelding who joined Hills from France for 50,000guineas at the horses in training sales at Newmarket last October. He’s already won for his new handler when landing the odds in a weak novice stakes contest at Wolverhampton last November. He’s subsequently been gelded and will handle the likely underfoot conditions here. He has Roger Varian’s Mitbaahy and Clive Cox’s Mohi to beat but with Hollie Doyle riding he has every chance of doing just that.

 

Nottingham 4.00

Quickthorn

Top stayer Trueshan will be hard to beat here but with the trip on the short side and the fact that he has been beaten first time out three times in the last four years now might be the time to oppose him especially as he has to carry a 7lb Group one penalty. Only 5lb behind the favourite on official ratings at these weights is the Hughie Morrison trained Quickthorn who has won first time out in both the last two seasons and has conditions in his favour. Richard Kingscote rides for the first time and he looks value to upset the short priced favourite.

 

Nottingham 4.30

Arthur’s Realm

Winner of the Spring Mile at Doncaster on day one of the new turf season this Ed Dunlop trained four year old looks posed to follow up here despite a 4lb rise in the weights. Soft ground appears to suit him well so there will be no problem on that score and he looks likely to strip fitter than most of his rivals with bottom weight Seasett an interesting runner making his debut fir Charlie Fellows.

 

 

Kempton 5.30

Lir Speciale

Roger Varian’s Newmarket yard has been a bit quiet the last fortnight but can get things going again with this promising three year old who showed up really well on his debut over course and distance eleven days ago. He stayed on well when the penny dropped having raced out wide and looked a future winner in waiting that day. There are some interesting rivals but this Andrea Atzeni ridden colt will be hard to beat.

 

Kempton 4.55

Lady Clementine

Nicely drawn in stall one Andrew Balding’s Qatar Racing owned three year old filly showed up well in both starts at the Sunbury-On-Thames track last Winter and looks sure to go close on her re-appearance. She’s starting out at 7F which should suit if her last run is anything to go by as she led inside the final furlong over a mile that day and was only headed close home. Ciaran Fallon takes over from the disgraced Oisin Murphy and she wears a hood for the first time.
