Friday’s Best Tips
NAP BACK TO WINNING WAYS YESTERDAY! Racing on Friday from Doncaster, Newbury, Ffos Las and Dundalk. Daily Double pays 9/2!
NAP – My best tip of the day
Newbury 1.55 Stage Star (best price 5/6)
Won the Challow here and bounced back from a couple of disappointing runs at the spring festivals to win impressively on chase debut at Warwick on reappearance; open to improvement and is clearly the one to beat.
It was good to see STAGE STAR bounce back to form on his comeback run at Warwick. He was a horse I held in high regard before running poorly and Cheltenham and Aintree. Since then he has had a win operation and switched to fences. Both seem to have got the best out of him with his win at Warwick as easy as you like. He will likely be fitter for the run and is the one they all have to beat here. Beauport is the main danger after a good chase debut beating a solid field. As a result he has to carry a penalty here which is why the selection will likely beat him. Of the rest Camprond unseated on chase debut but is entitled to bounce back and could run well.
Doncaster 3.30 Cornicello (best price 2/1)
Likeable type who showed a good attitude to get his head in front at Plumpton, hitting the line strong; bumped into another improver at Hereford and quickly back to winning ways at Wincanton; obvious chance again.
I think it may pay to stick with the in-form CORNICELLO at Doncaster on Friday. This 4yo has recorded progressive form in recent starts and was really quite impressive at Wincanton last time. He has only been nudged up 2lb and another big performance should be in store here. Lough Carra has finished runner-up the last 3 times so he is knocking on the door but the same fate may lie in wait here once more. Okavango Delta will strip fitter for his reappearance run when third at Kelso and has first-time cheekpieces on now so is also respected. Stratton Oakmont ran well behind Shearer at Newbury last season and capped it off with a solid second at Southwell so is another one to note.
