22 to 1 Tom’s Tips
6:20
Fallon’s Fancies Expert Tips By BetUK Handicap Cl4 (3yo+ 0-85) 6f
2 – High Velocity
Last run was a 4th at Newcastle by 2 1/2L, returning to the AW
He did win on the AW 2 races back at Southwell at 4-1
He’s only won on the AW with a record of 7 starts 4 wins 1 third
He’s won on this track before and ran third in 2 efforts
Rosso Ryan returns to ride and has won on before
Only negative is the draw, out post 10
5 – Pocket The Profit
An ok third last out at Doncaster over the heavy going
He returns to the AW where he has a record of 4 starts 2 wins
A cut back in distance from 7F where he has 3 wins from 10 starts at 6F
He has run and won at this track before
Some form off last 2 races and picks up top rider William Buick
7 – Mighty Gurkha
Average run last out at this level running 6th with the comment of never on terms in the running line
Better effort the race before going 3rd behind 2 in form runners
Which horse shows up today, the one that can run 3rd vs the others in this field.
The trainer switches back to Luke Morris after using a 7lbs apprentice last out
6:50
It’s Time To Turn To Talksport Novice Stakes (All-Weather Championships Fast-Track Qualifier) (GBB) Cl2 (2yo) 6f
4 – Flag Flying
Didn’t like the going last time out and ran last in his return to the turf
First starts on the AW was in a group 3 race after a big win first out at Goodwood
The AW run was with a slow start didn’t help in the run
The winner in the group 3 race Mischief Magic when on to win the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Sprint
5 – Tenjin
His first 3 starts on the turf were nothing special with an ok 3rd in one race
Moving to the AW in last two races, he ran 1st in the first try and 2nd in the last race
He was gelded before that race
Moves up in class but in form and loves the AW
8 – Danger Alert
First start on the AW was a good effort running 2nd but then he’s good at running second in the last 4 races
The comment was that the last race distance was 7F and that maybe a bit too far for this horse’s best effort
Moves into class but has form and maybe the 6F races are where he needs to be
7:20
BetUK’s Acca Club £5 Free Bet Handicap Cl2 (3yo+ 0-105) 1m4f
2 – King Of The South
After a break of 219 days, he ran 5th going 12F at Kempton which was a good overall effort
He won his last start by 3/4L at Newcastle in class 2 handicap
He’s an AW specialist with 17 starts 7 wins 3 second 3 thirds
He has repeated wins before
In form but will have to beat Outbox
1 – Outbox
He’s tried the AW before and has 1 win from 7 starts
Last 2 races on the turf have been in group 3 races running 2nd & 3rd
They even shipped this horse to Belmont for an awful run on a grade 2 races
Distance is good, he certain has the back class from who’s he’s faced in the past but the question of running 3 turns on the AW is a question mark for me.
4 – Pirate King
Ran second to King Of The South last out at Newcastle
17 starts on the AW with 4 wins 3 seconds 1 third
That last race was his first start after a 142 day break
He hasn’t won since January 2021 so putting him on top is hard for me to do.
7:50
BetUK Over 40,000 Live Streamed Races Novice Stakes (GBB Race) Cl5 (3yo+) 1m4f
6 – Carzoia
Ran 4th in first start losing by 10 1/2L but was bet to 5-1 so someone like the horse
He went a distance of ground in that race
Tries this level again and should get his first win in this race
3 – John The Pirate
Ran in hurdle races in all his starts with a 2nd last time out
Now they are trying the AW and distance isn’t an issue
Form is questionable but why not see if he’s a distance horse on the flat
5 – Vega Sicilia
He has tried 7F to 10F races at the maiden, novice and handicap levels without wins but ran 2rd, 3th, 4th and 9th.
He beat 7 horses last out on the turf but was 11 1/2L behind
He ran at Kempton (AW) running 3rd at the novice level at 8F
Drops back to the novice level and should be in the money in this race
8:20
Top Odds Every Day With BetUK Handicap Cl4 (3yo+ 0-85) 1m4f
5 – Queen Of Ipanema
A winner of her last 4 races at distance of 9.5F, 10F and 12.5F races and winning by margins of 2L to 4 3/4L
Steps up in class but get weight off from last race
2 – Daheer
Tried the class 3 level handicap without success running 6th by 3L at 25-1
Ran 2 thirds the 2 starts before and won at this track at this level
He wins, wins and wins at Wolverhampton with a record of 12 starts 5 wins 1 second 1 third and at other tracks he has never run in the money any of those races
So, at the track he loves to run at and drop back an in the money finish should happen
1 – Bearaway
This will be his first start for a new trainer and won last out at Windsor at this level on the soft going.
He’s run on the AW before with a record of 3 starts 2 seconds 1 third in 8F races
He’s been running on the turf since with 2 wins 1 third from 7 starts
I think the switch back to the AW will result in a good finish.
