Thursday’s Best Bets
WE HAVE RACING! Quite a busy day for the current times with action from Kempton, Meydan and Newcastle. The Daily Double pays 11/4!
Scroll down to find our most confident selections (NAP & NB) PLUS race-by-race picks for every race across all THREE meetings (Thurles abandoned).
NAP – Best selection of the evening
THE NAP (BEST BET) RUNS IN DUBAI AT MEYDAN ON THURSDAY AFTERNOON!
Meydan 3.40 Secret Protector (1/1)
War Front colt who went close on debut before improving to win impressively over 7f at Kempton when last seen in September; form of that worked out well since; longer trip promises to suit and looks the one to beat.
It looks significant that Buick has chosen to ride SECRET PROTECTOR here. Newmarket winner Mystical Dawn is also in the race and he looks a nice prospect himself staying on well to get up near the finish. He will improve but maybe not as much as the favourite. He routed the opposition at Kempton when last seen and looks an exciting horse. He should relish the extra yardage here and can make it 2 from 3 in his career. I’m expecting Appleby to have a 1-2 but Leopardo should also be considered despite running disappointingly on first try here last month. He was well backed and is better than that. Final Thought hasn’t kicked on after a promising start and needs to show something before I could back her.
NB – Second best selection of the day
THE NEXT BEST (SECOND BEST BET) RUNS AT NEWCASTLE ON THURSDAY!
Newcastle 4.30 Systemic (11/8)
Lightly raced sort who put in a career best to make the breakthrough impressively over C&D last month; blinkers certainly did the trick; more to come now despite a hefty rise; sure to go close.
We head to Newcastle on Thursday for our second best bet of the day and SYSTEMIC looks poised to strike again. A 13lb hike obviously makes life a lot tougher but he won in the style of a real improver last time and now the penny seems to have dropped he can follow up under Jack Mitchell. Sharp Suited should go hard on the front and that will help set it up for the selection. Madeeh impressed winning over track and trip last time and he looks the danger if in the same form. He has a 5lb rise to contend with but also looks to be going the right way so is entitled to plenty of respect. Alborkan has won 2 of his last 3 on the Flat but was well beaten over hurdles last month and has a bit to prove.
Daily Double
