15:00 Pontefract – Sanaam

Herrin Kendrick; Horse Racing Analyst at BettingTips4You
Rationale:

This juvenile contest over six furlongs features several unknowns, but Sanaam makes immediate appeal on pedigree and stable trends. Representing the Newmarket-based operation of Simon & Ed Crisford, this colt by Blue Point arrives with the benefit of an exceptional strike-rate behind him. The stable have been in flying form lately, recording an impressive 33% win ratio over the last fortnight, and this debutant sits within a juvenile team that’s thriving – eight winners from 21 starters speaks volumes.

Rider Danny Tudhope is also enjoying a purple patch, winning at a rate of 28% across recent rides. While stall nine is not the most helpful position, the nature of a sprint with many newcomers makes it less of a concern. Sanaam’s dam hails from Sea The Stars lineage, suggesting the physical scope should be there for this challenge. Given the strong combination of breeding, trainer confidence, and jockey momentum, this looks like an ideal starting point for a colt who has clearly been catching the eye at home. With no standout form among the rest, this could be the day Sanaam announces himself.

16:05 Pontefract – Missmimi

Steve Harrington; Senior Tipster at BettingTips4You
Rationale:

Missmimi lines up in this sprint handicap as one of the most consistent runners in the field. Though not always winning, this five-year-old mare by Equiano regularly puts herself in the frame, and that level of reliability counts for plenty in contests like this. Trained by Tina Jackson and partnered once again with regular pilot Jo Mason, she returns to a track that has previously seen her success—a factor not to be underestimated at Pontefract, where course form often proves significant.mpton. He brushed his main rival aside with minimal fuss, suggesting that he may finally be realising his potential.

Carrying just 8st 12lb, she gets a handy pull at the weights in a race that doesn’t look overly deep for a Class 5. While she typically plies her trade in slightly lower-grade contests, she brings admirable consistency to the table, having finished close to the leaders in most of her recent appearances.

Her familiarity with both the course and jockey, along with favourable conditions, suggest this could be a well-timed return to the winner’s enclosure. Even if others bring a bit more flair on their best day, Missmimi is reliable and well drawn to make an impact from the off. She’s rarely far away, and this looks her best chance yet to grab another success.

18:42 Wexford – Finnians Row

Gram Dodd; Irish Racing Correspondent at BettingTips4You
Rationale:

Finnians Row returns to Wexford for this extended two-mile handicap chase and brings with him the strongest recent credentials in a surprisingly competitive summer jumping affair. On his seasonal reappearance over this very course and distance, the nine-year-old shaped encouragingly, finishing just behind a revitalised winner in Crowsatedappletart. That rival has since confirmed the form with another determined win and looks in peak condition, yet Timeform’s weight-adjusted figures still place Finnians Row slightly ahead based on that run.

Carrying 10st 12lb, and only 1lb higher than the market leader, Finnians Row showed he retains plenty of ability, staying on with purpose in the latter stages of that recent effort. With that run under his belt, he looks primed to go a step better now. The field contains other interesting profiles—Birdsandthebees being one—but Finnians Row’s blend of experience and current fitness tips the balance.

While the competition is far from weak, this selection offers a strong balance of value, proven course aptitude, and positive recent form. If he travels into the race with the same fluency, expect him to be involved in the finish once again.

15:30 Pontefract – Orbaan

John Pentin; Sports Journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:

Veteran campaigner Orbaan might not have the lofty rating he once carried, but the ten-year-old remains capable of smart performances when the conditions fall right. Having slipped down the weights over time, he now competes in contests more aligned to his current abilities, and this race appears to be a good opportunity for him to strike.

A quick surface is key to his best efforts, and the ground forecast suggests the fast going will be just what he needs. Four of his five turf victories have come on such a surface, and although age isn’t on his side, his recent efforts show there’s still something in the tank. His last few outings have seen him finish close enough to suggest that, while he’s no longer at his peak, he retains the competitiveness needed to feature in this kind of company.

With other runners looking either out of form or unproven under the conditions, Orbaan appeals as a reliable, well-handicapped option. The market may not have him as the favourite, but the combination of suitable ground and a manageable rating make him a threat to all. If he gets a clear run and finds rhythm early, he could well roll back the years.
