2:40 Hamilton Racing Tips (16th June)

HAMILTON 2.40 

EY UP ITS MICK 5/2 can be held up or track the leaders and has been slowly improving each run lately and it finished 2nd last time out so this could be its day. 

TAYLORED 9/2 a 3yo who has only slow times over this distance but it has been fading over 7 furlongs but this race might not be run to suit it. 

REELY BONNIE 16/1 hasn't any form at this distance on good or good to firm going and it may have been avoiding fast ground so this going might not suit it. 

THE MACKEN TORPEDO 25/1 hasn't any distance form on turf and it would need to improve on its best AW time at Wolverhampton to win here. 

STRONSAY 11/4 won an amateur riders race in a time that would make it my 2nd top rated and it usually races in midfield then trying to stay on at the finish. 

COOL DANDY 3/1 this 3yo hasn't any form at this distance on turf and I have very little to work on, I couldn't lay or back this one and could be the fly in the ointment if I back something else. 

SUMMARY: Only 6 runners and two of them are 3yo’s who could still be capable of improving, the real problem is the lack of known early pace but EY UP ITS MICK 5/2 usually runs on strongly at the finish and this looks a slightly easier race than when it finished 2nd last time out so I'm hoping it goes one better in this race and also hoping the bottom weight Cool Dandy doesn't spoil things for me. 

Ey Up It's Mick 11/4 5th -1pt

Total -1pt 

CHELMSFORD 8.53 

A 10 runner race where only half of them have gone fast enough to register on my figures, there is only 1lb between Sir Rodneyredblood my 5th top rated and Lilklan and Kath's Lustre who are joint 3rd top rated so any of them could make the frame and Lethal Angel my 2nd top rated is only 3lb’s higher but my top rated 3yo CARBON POSITIVE 3/1 who won last time out and could be capable of doing even better as it gains more experience and repeat of its time when it won would see it winning this race a shade cosily, it has decent trainer/jockey stats which is always a positive and the apprentices 3lb claim helps its cause even further, it is versatile with its racing tactics and from stall 2 it should be able to gain a good early position and use whatever tactics they think will win this race. 

RIPON 9.00 

In all reality this race should be left alone as I have only got one horse in the race with a time fast enough to register on my figures and that is HELLO GIRL 9/1 who can be held up or track the leaders and then stay on at the business end of the race and if it is a double figure price it might be worth having a small each way punt, its forecast on the tissue prices at 25/1 as it hasn’t shown anything in its last four races so it is a risky wager but these sort of bets can make a good week a very good week.

3:00 Musselburgh Racing Tips (26th August)

MUSSELBURGH 3.00 

WITH ALL THE RAIN FORECAST JUST ABOUT EVERYWHERE I AM EXPECTING THE GOING TO CHANGE SO PLEASE CHECK THE GOING BEFORE BETTING. NO BET SOFT GROUND.

This is quite a dire race and made even worse by the fact there's no known front runners in the race, so any stakes have to be kept low. There's only 6 of the field with recorded speed figures so they could all go well, Northern Society, Newgate Angel, One One Seven and Rangefield Express could battle to make the frame, my top rated on just 2020 times and 2nd best overall is *HELLO GIRL 15/2 but the jockeys 0-28 on this stables older horses is quite off-putting while my top rated overall horse QAARAAT 8/1 doesn't win as often as it should and ran very poorly last time out.

Not bet - soft ground 

MUSSELBURGH 3.30 

A mad dash where half of the 14 runners have been known to lead before so they could well go off too fast and fade nearing the finish so i will go with backing 2 in the race to cover both angles, the horse i will back hoping it can lead or contest the lead from the off is DAPPER MAN 10/1 and this one has good trainer/jockey stats with their older horses, my other selection is DREAM HOUSE 9/1 who won in a fast time last time out at Catterick and this is a step up in class but as its only a 4 year old i think it could well be up to the task and maybe worth 2 each way bets if the going is OK.

No bet - soft ground 

5:30 Newcastle - Free Horse Racing Tips (16th January)

NEWCASTLE 5.30 

Not a race to be betting too heavily in and the best way to make money from this race would be to lay Gamesome and Jonboy, I'm not sure what to expect from Buniann but it could be a danger Canford Bay looks the likely pacesetter and with an easy lead could go well, I will be having a small bet on COMMANDER HAN 3/1 who is my top rated but its losing run of 19 doesn't fill me with confidence nor the jockeys 1-16 strike rate for this stable and to be honest I expected it be a bigger price but I have to stick with my speed figures. 

Commander Han 3/1 4th 

NEWCASTLE 6.30

A full house of 14 runners, there's 6 horses that I will willingly lay in this race, Puchita, Lord Of The Glen, Someone Exciting, De Bruyne Horse, Darwina and Mitchum. Meshardal is my 4th top-rated and likes to track the leaders as does Avenue Of Stars my 3rd top-rated, my 2nd top-rated Gunmetal will be trying to stay on resolutely nearing the finish and should make the frame if reproducing its best, my money will be entrusted to STAR CRACKER 18/1 who is one of only two in the race that has been known to lead successfully before and I'm hoping a repeat here and it leads all the way from stall 13, luckily the draw isn't vital at this course and at the price I will be having an each-way wager. 

Star Cracker 22/1 1st

(Exceptional tipping from Eric. When did you last see a tipster detail a big price winner like this?) 

NEWCASTLE 7.00

In this 9 runner race the most likely pacesetter will be HELLO GIRL 10/1 its been off the course for a while now and may need this run for race fitness but is one of three horses in this race I will be dutching, JEFFREY HARRIS 5/1 is top-rated on just 2019 c/d times so has to be the 2nd one to be backed in this race, my third horse I will be backing is TABAAHY 12/1 and the jockey booking on this horse I am hoping is significant as he has a 24% win rate on this stables older horses, as I said I will be dutching all 3 but my stakes won't be at full strength, I will look to lay, Klopp 2/1 favourite, Fair Alibi 9/1, Piazon 10/1 and Swinging Eddie 10/1 to cover my betting stake.

Tabaahy 12/1 3rd 
Jeffrey Harris 7/1 4th 
Hello Girl 18/1 7th
