Friday’s Lucky 15 | |
186/1 - odds when tipped | |
Reasoning This Lucky 15 blends solid Group-level performers dropping in grade with unexposed handicappers primed for improvement. With January looking set to dominate at Newmarket, Streets Of Gold returning to his favourite track, Ride The Thunder on an upward curve, and Marhaba Ghaiyyath well placed for more, the combination brings class and value together. |
13:50 Newmarket – Marhaba Ghaiyyath
Herrin Kendrick; Racing Analyst at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Marhaba Ghaiyyath returns to Newmarket following two efforts that offer significant encouragement. After a brave second at Chester, where he ran wide on the turn and still got within a head of Topteam – who has since bolted up off a 6lb higher rating – the form took a major boost. He quickly backed that up with a convincing victory at Redcar, seeing off a reliable course performer and confirming his capability when returned to a mile. What makes this setup even more attractive is the increase in trip, something that looks likely to suit given how strongly he finished on both recent runs.
This race looks like it’s been targeted by the Johnston team, who’ve claimed this prize five times in the last decade. The fact he’s only been nudged up 5lb for the Redcar success looks generous in context, particularly when you consider how competitive the Chester form has proven. A steadily run race could favour those that stay well, and with stamina expected to come into play late on, Marhaba Ghaiyyath shapes as a runner primed to continue his upward trend.

14:10 York – Streets Of Gold
Steve Harrington; Horse Racing Specialist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Despite not finding the winner’s enclosure since his unbeaten juvenile season, Streets Of Gold has never stopped mixing it with smart rivals. His third-place finishes in the Jersey Stakes and a competitive Chepstow handicap illustrate his ability to hold his own in strong company. Now under the care of Julie Camacho, this gelding made a solid seasonal reappearance at Newcastle, racing with purpose before fading in the final stages, likely due to lack of fitness. That effort came after another wind operation and offered every indication that he’s close to peak form again.
Dropping into a lower class than he’s been contesting for the past three seasons, his current handicap mark of 96 presents a notable opportunity. He started last year rated 107, which highlights the extent of the slide. That generous mark, combined with his past success at York and the likelihood of stripping fitter second time up, sets him up for a major run in a race that should be run at a tempo that plays to his strengths. There’s every reason to think that his perfect record at this venue could remain unblemished.
15:35 Newmarket – January
John Pentin; Sports Journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
January is a filly who appears to be hitting her stride just when it matters most. She didn’t reappear until the Irish 1,000 Guineas, where her performance was understandably flat after the break. However, she made significant improvement when running into third in the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot, closing strongly after being held up early in a race dominated by those on the pace. That performance strongly suggests she’s now ready to hit top gear as the season progresses.
A runner-up in last year’s Fillies’ Mile, she brings genuine Group 1 form to the table, and the application of the weight-for-age allowance puts her in a highly favourable position here. Her trainer’s team have been thriving of late, particularly with their Classic-generation fillies, and this race looks tailor-made for her. With that Ascot effort expected to bring her on even further, this Group 2 looks very winnable, especially with the Duke Of Cambridge 1-2, Crimson Advocate and Cinderella’s Dream, possibly vulnerable at this stage of their seasons. This looks like a stepping stone to bigger assignments.
16:20 Ascot – Ride The Thunder
Gram Dodd; Flat Racing Analyst at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
The steadily progressive Ride The Thunder has shaped like a colt with more to offer, and his recent Nottingham breakthrough over ten furlongs suggests a step forward is imminent. Having placed behind horses rated well into the 90s on three occasions last year — including a narrow defeat behind the now 113-rated Almeric at York — his mark of 84 looks highly exploitable.
Following a lengthy absence, he returned in May to get off the mark in fine style, handling the rise in trip with clear enthusiasm. That performance suggested the extra distance was a definite positive, and he looked to have more in hand than the bare margin suggests. Trainer Roger Varian’s yard is operating at a 25% win rate at the moment, and with the colt open to significant progression over this sort of trip, there’s little reason to oppose him. While rivals like Notimeforchitchat and Londoner arrive with form, their current ratings look stiffer to overcome, particularly given how strong Ride The Thunder’s back form reads in context. He can take another leap forward here.his track should play to his strengths if he settles early and finds cover. All signs point towards a bold showing.
