Thursday’s Best Tips
MY DD LOOKS A GREAT BET ON THURSDAY! Racing from Sedgefield, Huntingdon, Southwell, Thurles and over on the AW at Newcastle. Daily Double pays 9/2!
NAP – My best tip of the day
Huntingdon 3.25 Blue Shark (best price 2/1)
Progressive hurdler who took it up 2 out before always doing enough to complete the four-timer at Wetherby last month; up another 6lb but with the likelihood of more to come again should take a lot of beating.
There has been no stopping BLUE SHARK is recent times and even up another 6lb I can see him taking a lot of stopping here. He hit the front 2 out at Wetherby but was always coming home best and he could still be ahead of the assessor. This race is no tougher and as long as things pan out favourably again then he should be up to justifying favouritism. Balinesker Beach will probably do better when he goes over a fence but he ran well enough at Fontwell to be a player here and could end up being the danger if the first-time cheekpieces help focus him. Titanium Bullet is also lightly raced and now handicapping could be capable of a bigger performance. Bertie B should also have a future now pitched into a handicap but might need more time and experience.
NB – My Next or second best tip of the day
MY NEXT BEST RUNS OVER JUMPS IN IRELAND AT THURLES ON THURSDAY!
Thurles 3.40 Sa Fureur (best price 5/6)
Improving with experience and impressed getting his head in front at Punchestown on penultimate start before knuckling down bravely to follow up over this trip last month; should complete the hat-trick.
There was lots to like about the way SA FUREUR found again to get on top over this trip at Punchestown last month. He has won his last two now and remains thoroughly unexposed over this distance. He has only had 3 starts over hurdles so there should be a fair bit more to come. Jordan Gainford gets the leg up now and the hat-trick should be on the cards. Rexem won a bumper and twice over hurdles last year and should come on for that fourth at Musselburgh. I still think he needs more to seriously trouble the favourite. Ifiwerearichman won impressively at Down Royal and then was far from disgraced when second to Path D’oroux at Navan so if progressing again stepping up in trip he is another one to note. Still Ciel will need to bounce back to get involved.
