Evas Request can Follow-up at Pontefract…
Pretty poor stuff this afternoon. Its grass cutting and shopping for me, but it gets better this evening with Windsor and Pontefract. Two pretty decent cards it has to be said. We will focus purely on the evening racing.
At Pontefract…
The best race of the day is at Pontefract at 8.20. The Listed fillies Pipalong Stakes has attracted a field of 9 and Evas Request looks the best bet of the day. She ran and won well at Epsom on Saturday, this looks like an easier race for her assuming she has come out of the race fine. If she lines up then Mick Channon will think she is fine, which is good enough for me. Eva’s request is a good horse in a good race and is the best bet of the day. Back Evas Request to win the 8.20 at Pontefract.
Evas Request is looking pretty short. I took 1.93 when the market opened on Betfair, not for much though. I think Eva’s request is still value at 1.7.
At Windsor…
At Windsor I will be backing Heroes (7.30) who is looking to follow-up his Brighton Handicap win where he ran out a good winner. He is up only 2 pounds for that and should run well again. Surprisingly Heroes is a pretty decent price, I have taken 5/1 this morning and at that price he becomes an each-way bet. Tim Vaughan has his string in good order and showed he has heroes spot on last time. Vaughan has shown he can get a string of wins from horses he gets from others, notably Little Shilling over the jumps. The advice is to back Heroes Each Way in the 7.30 at Windsor.
There is not much else to get excited about today. The cricket 2020 cup continues and we will look at who could win the first ever world cup. The Super 8 phase is where it gets serious!
