Reasoning
This Lucky 15 combines proven form and untapped potential across four competitive races. Dubai Time is well treated in her nursery, On The River finds a winnable selling contest, Kerdos looks primed for a Group 3 revival, and Belgravian continues to outstrip the handicapper. Together they form a value-driven multiple.

18:50 Kempton – Skimmer

Herrin Kendrick; Horse Racing Analyst at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Skimmer’s debut win at Leicester over a mile and a quarter immediately flagged him as one to follow, and he now tackles an extended trip on the synthetic surface at Kempton. That victory was no fluke – he travelled strongly through the race and quickened decisively late on. With that initial experience under his belt, and the switch to 1m3f likely to be within his grasp based on breeding, this looks like a logical next step.

Trainer Harry Charlton has booked Colin Keane, whose 16% strike rate in recent weeks adds a layer of confidence to the selection. Despite the wide draw, Skimmer has the tactical speed to secure a good position, and with improvement expected from that debut success, he’s likely to be hard to peg back. Rated 88 by BettingTips4You, he holds the strongest figure in this field and arrives without the question marks that hang over some of his rivals. Conditions suit, and if he runs to his potential, he should justify favouritism.

5:30 Fairyhouse – Granite Bay

Gram Dodd; Irish Racing Correspondent at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Granite Bay is a lightly raced stayer with a progressive profile, and he shaped very well when returning from 256 days off at Navan last month. That reappearance saw him finish a closing fourth in a big field over this exact distance, and the form has worked out nicely since. He now gets the chance to build on that run, and with Shane Foley once again booked, the team clearly feel there’s more to come.

Three wins last season over middle to long distances demonstrated his stamina, and he’s gone up steadily in the ratings as a result. Yet he still appears fairly treated off a mark of 83, particularly given his BettingTips4You Expert Rating of 90. Trainer Jarlath Fahey hasn’t had many recent runners, but Granite Bay’s consistency and turn of foot make him a serious player here. If he strips fitter from his seasonal debut, this could well be another winning step in his upward curve.


3:50 Catterick – Medinilla

John Pentin; Sports Journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Medinilla caught the eye when winning at Wolverhampton earlier this year and followed that up with a fair fourth at Thirsk in a competitive heat where things didn’t quite pan out for her. She ran green under pressure, hanging left late on, and was ultimately eased off. A short break and a slight drop in the handicap now leave her in a good position to bounce back.

The yard of Jack Channon is currently in decent form, and Callum Rodriguez takes over in the saddle – a positive booking for this type of filly. Medinilla’s previous win was over this 7f trip, and her sectionals that day suggest she has a solid finishing kick. Her overall profile still hints at untapped potential, and with just four starts under her belt, there’s likely further improvement to come. A mark of 72 looks workable, and she should relish the return to a sharper track like Catterick.


7:10 Ffos Las – Flicka’s Girl

Steve Harrington; BettingTips4You Form Watcher
Rationale:
Although Flicka’s Girl has yet to get her head in front, there’s a strong argument to be made for her in this low-grade 0-55 handicap. She’s now contesting a race that is much weaker than those she’s been facing, and importantly, she’s operating from her lowest mark to date. That alone gives her a significant edge in a race of this nature.

The three-year-old was unlucky last time at Chelmsford, where she met interference at a crucial stage, but prior to that, she was running with enough credit to suggest a breakthrough could be imminent. With S M Levey back on board and drawing on the experience from six previous outings, she may finally be ready to deliver. Trainer M J Attwater has targeted this contest with intent, and if Flicka’s Girl runs to her best previous figures, she could easily outclass a modest field. A strong gallop will play to her strengths, and with the weight she receives from older rivals, she’s weighted to go close.t, and this track should play to his strengths if he settles early and finds cover. All signs point towards a bold showing.s never easy, but this horse appears to be built for it. If he turns up in the same form, it’ll take a serious effort to stop him.
