Horse Racing Tips & Predictions for Monday 2nd September 2024 at Brighton, Chepstow and Windsor

Today’s Focus Races

Today’s racing features a diverse set of challenges across the tracks, with a mix of seasoned veterans and promising upstarts ready to stake their claim. At Brighton, Poetic Force is among those looking to make a mark. Despite being past his prime at ten years old, his previous successes over this course and distance cannot be overlooked. Another horse to watch out for at Chepstow is Michaela’s Boy, who recently had a commendable run after a significant break.

Meanwhile, Thursday’s performance at Windsor last week has many anticipating a strong showing today. Additionally, the competition at Windsor will be stiff, with Infinity Blue looking to build on his recent progress. As the races unfold, stamina, speed, and strategy will be key in determining who crosses the finish line first.

Nap of the Day

Michaela’s Boy, our Nap of the Day, is set to shine in the 3.35 at Chepstow. Now under the guidance of trainer Robert Cowell, Michaela’s Boy showed real promise in his debut for the new yard, finishing a close third at Newbury. This was especially notable as it was his first outing following a 100-day layoff, during which he underwent gelding and wind surgery. His near-miss at Newbury, where he was beaten by just three-quarters of a length, indicates that he is in good shape. With only a 1lb rise in the weights since his last win, Michaela’s Boy is well-positioned to build on that performance and secure a victory here.

Poetic Force, although no longer in his prime, remains a formidable contender in the 2.50 at Brighton. This ten-year-old gelding, trained by Tony Carroll, has seen better days, but his performance earlier this year suggests he still has something to offer. Back in April, he finished fourth at Brighton over this same course and distance, despite carrying a weight 7lb heavier than today. His last race saw him struggle with a slower pace over a mile, but with a faster tempo likely today, he could thrive. The added advantage of Molly Gunn’s 7lb claim means Poetic Force effectively runs off a significantly lower mark than when he last won here in August last year. On fast ground, he could easily surprise the field.

Thursday is one to watch in the 4.30 at Windsor. This filly caught the eye last Monday at Epsom, finishing strongly to claim third after being hampered mid-race. Racing from a disadvantageous position, both in terms of weight and running order, she managed to close the gap on the leaders in the final furlong. Today, back at Windsor and down in class, she’ll be racing off a more favourable mark of 57. Thursday also has winning form over this course and distance, and with the step up in trip expected to suit, she looks poised to make a strong challenge for the top spot.

Infinity Blue is another horse expected to perform well, this time in the 6.00 at Windsor. Since undergoing wind surgery in May, this three-year-old has shown considerable improvement, culminating in a maiden victory at Newmarket last month. Although he faltered slightly at Carlisle in his most recent outing, where the ground wasn’t entirely to his liking, a return to faster conditions today should see him back to his best. Trainer Miss J A Camacho will be hopeful that Infinity Blue can reproduce the form that saw him win on firm ground, making him a strong candidate for the win.
