Hi all,
No luck yesterday but all four selections placed so anyone who backed them in an each way Lucky 15 would have made a tidy profit.
I have selections from both Lingfield & Newcastle cards but both tracks must pass 8am inspections to see if racing can go ahead.
There are five selections racing on Tuesday and below I will give you my staking plan for the selections.
Lingfield
2:30 – Inspireus – 7/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Built on the promise of his 4th here on his chase debut over C&D when dead heating for first here over 2m 4f 21-days ago. Both runs came on heavy so no issues with the going. Steps back up in trip today off 3lb higher but Page Fuller takes off 3lb which negates the weight rise.
Newcastle
2:10 – Hill Sixteen – 5/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The selection gained his first win over fences at the 4th attempt when winning at Sedgefield 18-days ago. Didn’t travel that well that day but he’s open to further progress over fences and this more galloping track may suit him better.
3:10 – Ripstick – 5/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The 9-year-old gained his first win under rules at the 14th attempt when winning at Sedgefield on Boxing Day. Ran just as well in defeat when 3rd of 8 behind one of today’s rival Duntly (a winner again since) and can now meet that one on 16lb better terms for a 7 ¾ length beating.
Southwell
4:25 – Fivehundredmiles – 6/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Both career wins have come on turf, he’s 0 wins from 17 runs 4 places on the synthetics. Ran with promise when 4th of 13 at Lingfield on his first start for new trainer David Evans 10-days ago. First start on the fibresand but ran with credit on the dirt in the UAE two years ago. On as competitive mark here and has each way claims if taking to the surface.
6:55 – Break The Silence – 4/1 @ Bet365 – Comes into the race in good form gaining his fourth C&D win two starts back. The 6-year-old was 4th of 6 back, after a slow start, here 15-days ago. Capable of going close in a slightly weaker race.
