Today’s Horse Racing betting tips: Friday 26 September Nap Of The Day Tip

Could a fierce early tempo turn the Rosemary into a test tailor-made for a late closer?

• Elwateen drops from Group 1 level into Listed company, bringing the class angle into the 1:15.
• Never Let Go beat Cajole at Royal Ascot despite giving 3lb; the form ties several of today’s runners together.
• Expected pace from Mojave River, Orange Sky, Protest and Bette Davis Eyes should accentuate stamina at the mile.

Nap of The Day

Top Betting Offers To Take Advantage Of Today

Newmarket’s Cambridgeshire meeting rolls into its second day on Friday with the Rowley Mile brimming with narratives. The spotlight early doors is on the 1:15, the BoyleSports British EBF Rosemary Stakes for fillies and mares, where a deep three-year-old cohort aim to put Listed credentials on the board. Later, the Rockfel Stakes brings juvenile fillies to the fore and, if the vibes are right, Touleen is expected to draw serious attention after shaping like a filly with a major future at Leicester.

The card also carries wider intrigue around the Godolphin operation: their powerful string sparked into life on day one, and the talk continues with Opera Ballo returning for the Group 2 Joel Stakes after a patient campaign. Although he found the Rowley Mile a touch sharp in the Craven earlier in the season, his July Course Listed success hinted at a colt maturing by the run.

William Buick’s book is strong throughout the afternoon, and he also reconnects with Cajole in the Rosemary after that Sandringham second at Royal Ascot on rattling ground. Elsewhere, Elwateen reappears after a tough Group 1 test and now drops markedly in grade, while pace angles look plentiful across the programme, which should reward those with a turn of foot and the constitution to finish off strongly up the climb.

Nap of the Day

Here at bettingtips4you we only provide a single prediction rather than many different ones, as we believe in quality and not quantity and only give out the best tip per event. This will also make it easier for readers that don’t have to worry about what selection to go for and also it is more accountable as we can easily evaluate our tips profitability as we only give out a clear best bet for event: Never Let Go in the 1:15 at Newmarket.

The case for Never Let Go rests on substance rather than hype. Ed Walker’s three-year-old filly arrives with rock-solid mile form after landing the Sandringham at Royal Ascot, where she conceded 3lb to Cajole and still found more late to settle matters. That stands up neatly against several of today’s rivals, and she then backed it up in a Haydock Listed contest when runner-up to Suite Francaise after a tactical affair. The race shape compromised her that day: she was posted wide early, the winner dictated from the front, and the tempo barely lifted until too late, yet she still chipped away all the way to the line.

Friday’s set-up should flip that script. With Mojave River, Orange Sky, Protest and stablemate Bette Davis Eyes likely to force a brisk gallop, the mile on the Rowley—stalls centred on day two—ought to play to her late strength rather than expose it. Draw concerns are muted in this configuration, and she has already shown she can sustain her run off a truly-run race.

The yard are ticking along sweetly (6 winners from 36 runners over the past fortnight), and while Kieran Shoemark’s headline strike-rate in the same period sits at 7% (3-45), his partnership with this filly has yielded peak efforts at Ascot and Haydock. Elwateen drops in grade and demands respect, Cajole stays very reliable in this company, and Protest ties in closely on that Haydock line, but the balance of evidence points to Never Let Go being the one most likely to relish a strong pace at this trip. With her profile trending upwards and no need for excuses if they go hard, she looks primed to deliver again.
