2:50 Newcastle Racing Tips (19th October)

NEWCASTLE 2.50 

A full house of 14 runners with 3 known front running types amongst them and Jordan Electrics, my 2nd top rated and Giogiobbo my joint 4th top rated will make sure its a true run race and both of them might be worth looking at for an each way punt, there's a couple of possible hidden dangers in Pagan and Silver Samurai which means my stakes will be kept low, I'm not sure if anything I see that I might lay will be a worthwhile price so I will hold fire on the lays till I see some betting, my money will be riding on CAPTAIN VALLO 5/1 a 3yo that won last time out in a fast time, admittedly it was in a lower class race but I'm hoping this is an improving 3yo and can take the upgrade in its stride and follow up again here. 

Captain Vallo 5/1 2nd -1pt

KEMPTON 5.00 

A fairly nice looking class 5 dash with 2 front running sort’s to ensure there's a fast early pace, La Roca Del Fuego has been in cracking form winning its last 4 races on an artificial surface but they were all recorded at Chelmsford and hasn't any form over this course and distance, 3 of its 4 wins were over 6 furlongs but it did win over five furlongs last time out by leading all the way but that time would only be good enough for 3rd top spot on my overall figures and it might not be quite fast enough to lead in this race as my top rated SPIRIT POWER 11/1 (EW) is also a front running type who has good trainer and jockey stats although the trainer is 0-9 for the last 2 weeks its only 23 days since they had a winner and will be the one carrying my money with an each way wager at the price, the horse that might do best of those coming form off the pace could be Smokey who has a time from Lingfield last year that makes it my 2nd top rated on my overall figures and strangely none of the horses in this race have a recorded time for this year so everything is more of a gamble.

NEWCASTLE 5.40 

I will wait until the day of the race before deciding if there's anything worthwhile laying in this race as it does look a very competitive affair and I am not 100% sure its race to be betting in at all, on the clock I looked at ANOTHER ANGEL 9/2 one of the possible pacesetters and comes out 3rd best on my overall figures using a 2020 time so could go well but the trainer is 0-11 in the last 2 weeks which muddies the waters, LORD OF THE GLEN 6/1 is another possible front runner and comes out in top spot using a time from 2020 when it won over this course and distance but the trainers 0-17 in the last 2 weeks doesn't fill me with confidence,YOUNG TIGER 8/1 could be the one to prosper if the leaders tire but once again I am using a 2020 time to find its best speed figure and hasn't shown much in its last few runs on turf so maybe the switch back to the All-Weather will inspire it to bounce back to form so I will be dutching the three of them.

Lord Of The Glen 6/1 2nd -1pt

4:05 Lingfield Racing Tips & Lay Bets

LINGFIELD 4.05 

A 10 runner race with no known frontrunners in the field, usually means it's hard to analyse how things will turn out during the race, with no early pace then I would look to lay The Groove who may need further to shine, Knockabout Queen hasn't any course form but could dangerous after winning last time out, both Seraphim and Kath's Lustre are capable of running big races and could battle to make the frame, my top rated on just 2019/20 c/d times is Aguerooo who I admit isn't ideally drawn in stall 9 but could go well if getting a clear run when needed but its losing run of 10 shows how hard it is to will with a hold-up type of horse, my top-rated overall is PERFECT SYMPHONY 7/1 who from stall 2 should be able to get a good early position from which to attack and follow up its win from last time out. 

Perfect Symphony 12/1 2nd 
Lay bet: The Groove (+1pt)

KEMPTON 4.30

I've found 3 runners in this race that I will look to lay, (Sing Bertie, It Must Be Faith, Creek Harbour) then Dark Side Dream, Solar Park and Andre Amar could be dangers, Porto Ferro is 2nd top overall but its best time was from 2018 although it hasn't run over this c/d lately, in stall 1 EQUALLY FAST 9/4 who is a frontrunning type is my top-rated overall but its time was recorded at Lingfield and this will be its first run here, top-rated on only c/d times is SPIRIT POWER 5/1 who is another that is known to lead before and should be ok in the make-up of this race from stall 8 and it has good trainer/jockey stats, I will have to back them both in this race and hopefully they will dominate from the front here. 

Spirit Power 5/1 1st Equally Fast 5/2 4th 
Lay bet: Sing Bertie (+1pt) It Must Be Faith (+1pt) Creek Harbour (+1pt)

KEMPTON 7.00 

This is a strange race, I have found 3, (Para Mio, Barrington, Waqlas) that I would look to lay, but it is such a competitive affair there's 7 horses that have a chance of going well or winning, there's only 2lbs between Los Camachos, Venture and Enthaar who are my top 3 ratings on just 2019/20 c/d times, Spring Romance would be top on c/d times if I use its best from 2018, the frontrunning Harbour Storm is 3rd top overall using a Wolverhampton time but has only a slow time on this surface while Pride Of Angels is 2nd top overall and at least its time was on this surface but at Lingfield and hasn't run here before over this c/d, in top spot overall is Rock Boy Grey again it's using a Wolverhampton time as it's not run at this c/d before. I am not sure what to make of this race and it is probably best left alone unless the betting says otherwise.

Lay bets: Para Mio (+1pt) Barrington (+1pt) Waqaas (+1pt)
