Here goes nothing!!!! Come on old neddy!

If this tip comes off then I’m going to ditch my job as a presenter and roam the racetracks of Britain and Ireland with nothing more than a hip flask and a packet of murray mints for company! I’m backing Newport Ned at 38/1 to get placed in the 9:48 in England. Why? well I think this 2 year old colt has been entered in fields with too much quality so far, a situation which certainly wont materialise in this race.

Its not true by the way that we’ve bought more airtime for tonight’s show in the event this lot dont finish till around midnight! Newport ned has raced on 7 occassions with just one placed finish under the belt so far, I expect a second placed finish here tonight!

Gone to far…why turn back!

Well if theres a ground ‘Gone to Far’ likes then this is it. Has had great success over yielding recently and will have no problems in England if he can maintain a good pace over the 2 miles. Won on his last trip out in Australia 3 days ago overcoming the challenge of quality horses such as ‘Could be so good’ and ‘Minneola’. Overall has registered 2 wins and 4 placed finishes out of 7 runs and must be fancied on an each way punt for this evening’s showdown at 6/1.

Massive odds for Andalucian in the 8:36

Apparently this 3 year old colt is struggling with fitness. While this factor may rule him out for victory he must be tipped for a placed finish none the less. Andaluscian has been very impressive of late, winning 1 and being placed in 4 of his last 5 races. Last time out on soft was on the 3rd of this month when he finished 2nd in the UK. The bookies are offering odds of 54/1 so a small flutter may reap a healthy reward!
