Friday Selections – August 12th 2022

Hi all,

Today’s selections are from Nottingham, Thirsk and Newmarket.

Nottingham

3:25 – Pons Aelius – 7/2 @ Bet365 – Consistent form figures of 22212 this summer from the 3-year-old who posted a career best on RPR’s when a head 2nd of 6 at Sandown (1m 6f) 16-days ago. Capable of going close again if suited by the step up to 2m.

Thirsk

6:07 – Khabib – 7/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes- Alligator Alley drops in class here and was unlucky in the run at Doncaster last week. He’s going to pop up in one of these 5f sprint handicaps before long but at the prices I prefer the selection who has been running well on turf since winning a 5f handicap at Newcastle in March. He was beaten just a short head over C&D three starts back, from 1lb lower. Back from a 76-day break and if in the same form looks set for a good run.

Newmarket

7:58 – Chasing Aphrodite – 4/1 @ Bet365 – You can’t fault the selection’s two efforts on quick ground. A winner at Leicester on his racecourse debut in May he followed up under a penalty over C&D last month. Must be feared on his handicap debut and looks set to go close with conditions set to suit once more

Cheers

John
