16:25 Lingfield – Command The Stars

Herrin Kendrick; Flat Racing Analyst at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Command The Stars arrives at Lingfield with winning experience already on the board and looks to be a smart proposition under a 7lb penalty. His success at Beverley last month came with plenty in hand as he dominated from the front, quickening clear inside the final furlong to score by four lengths. While the form of that race hasn’t yet been thoroughly tested, the visual impression was that of a colt with above-average potential.

George Scott’s yard is currently ticking over at a highly encouraging 27% strike rate, and this two-year-old’s profile continues to trend in the right direction. Having shown a willingness to stride out positively, the slight drop in trip back to seven furlongs shouldn’t inconvenience him at this sharp venue. With Callum Shepherd keeping the ride and also in strong recent form (18% strike rate over the past fortnight), there’s every indication that this son of Sea The Stars will take this step up in class in his stride.

The main threat might come from unexposed debutants, but Command The Stars’ experience and natural pace should prove decisive. With ground conditions similar to his Beverley win and a race likely to favour his forward-going style, he holds strong claims of backing up that eye-catching maiden success.

20:42 Brighton – Graduated

Gram Dodd; Horse Racing Editor at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Returning to Brighton—where she previously ran well—Graduated has a solid opportunity to make her presence felt in this Class 5 handicap, especially under the guidance of promising claimer Elizabeth Gale, who takes a valuable 7lb off her back. Graduated’s mark of 66 appears to be one she can exploit based on her recent placed efforts, notably when third at Wolverhampton despite a poor draw and when boxed in early. Her most recent run at Newbury saw her finish a close fourth, again showing she retains her form.

She now tackles the 7f trip again at a course that suits front-runners, and connections appear to be targeting this race specifically after a string of solid performances in more competitive fields. Her only career victory came over this distance, and the expected good ground looks ideal based on previous runs.

With Dr Richard Newland and Jamie Insole’s team sending out a fair share of placed horses in recent weeks and the jockey operating at an impressive 21% strike rate over the past fortnight, all signs suggest she’s ready to go close. Given her previous Brighton second to a far better horse off a higher mark, she looks the value bet of the evening.

16:10 Pontefract – Cloaks Of Gold

John Pentin; Sports Journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Making her handicap debut off what looks a very fair opening mark of 70, Cloaks Of Gold enters this Pontefract event with both form and pedigree on her side. Trained by Richard Hannon, who continues to place his improving types well, this three-year-old filly has already displayed plenty of ability in novice events. On her latest run at Doncaster, she shaped with clear promise, showing a sharper response under pressure and keeping on well to claim a close third.

The daughter of a mare closely connected to Dubawi, Cloaks Of Gold has yet to truly put her best foot forward, but the signs are all there that a breakthrough is imminent. With Sean Levey again booked, who has ridden her in her last two outings, continuity in the saddle is a bonus.

Pontefract’s uphill finish will suit a horse like her, who seems to find more the further she goes. This drop into handicap company should allow her to race with a bit more tactical freedom, and the recent rain softening the ground just a touch could also help, as her best piece of form came on similar going. This could be the day she puts it all together.
