(Note: Odds provided by Bet365)

Selections:

Dubai Rockin – 2.30

Who Rox The House – 3.70

Just Like This – 10.00

BEST BET – Dubai Rockin

Dubai Rockin has been entered into both the first and second race of the day, but whatever race he heads in he will start as the favourite. An exciting talent, he achieved a second place on debut and will be hoping to land a first win of his career with a victory here. With course form and room to improve, he could be tough to beat.

THE DANGER – Who Rox The House

Who Rox The House has a plethora of experience in comparison the favourite but is still to get off the mark. She has three consecutive third place finishes and could find this the ideal opportunity to finally get off the mark.

VALUE BET – Just Like This

With plenty of inexperience in the lineup, Just Like This is one of the more experienced runners in the field. This will be her seventh start, and she comes into the race fresh off her best ever finish with a third place effort at this venue two weeks ago. Although she has class to prove, she looks to be the one at a big price to back.

Selections:

Daring Dame – 2.25

Neffu – 5.00

Radrada - 6.00

BEST BET – Daring Dame

Daring Dame is our best bet of the day and she brings in the best form in the sixth race of the card. Having run just three times, she has never finished outside of the top three and has two runner up efforts to her name. This looks like the ideal opportunity to finally get off the mark.

THE DANGER – Neffu

Neffu comes next in the betting and looks a threat. After a disappointing debut, he improved with a third-place effort last time out and could unlock more improvement here. Few horses can match his form and he is a live danger to all in the field.

VALUE BET – The Charm

If looking to find value, The Charm could be the pick for you. Vastly experienced it’s a bit of a concern that he is yet to win in any of his seven previous runs. However, he posted his best result with a second place finish last time out and could be a contender back at a price this time out.

Selections:

Usain – 4.20

Hayate – 4.50

Brian Lamont – 6.00

BEST BET – Hayate

Hayate is likely to jump off as the second favourite behind Usain, but that shouldn’t put potential backers off. Few in the field can match her experience and she has crossed the line first on four occasions. Although its been a while since she last won, she looked back to her best when a promising second last time out and could build on that here.

THE DANGER – Usain

Usain is likely to start the race as the favourite. A winner of one his eight career starts, he has barely featured in his last three races but could well bounce back here in this lesser grade.

VALUE BET – Brian Lamont

No other horse has managed to accrue as much race experience that Brian Lamont. With 63 starts, he only has four wins but regularly places. Whilst a victory can’t be guaranteed he should give his running once again.
