2:05 Chelmsford Racing Tips (22nd June)

CHELMSFORD 2.05 

5F Class 5 9 Runners I can only see THE DEFIANT 7/1 as a front running type and being my 2nd top rated it could pinch this race from the front and will be carrying some of my money just in case that happens. Libertus might prefer a longer distance and may have been flattered by its 2nd place finish last time out in a slow run race so I will be looking to lay it, the same applies to Level Up about needing further so could be added to the lays list. Sir Rodneyredblood is my 3rd top rated and usually likes to track the leaders before staying on strongly nearing the finish and might be worth an each way interest. The other horse that will be running with my cash on it is MICK'S SPIRIT 8/1 who also likes to track the pacesetters before staying on resolutely nearing the finish and could pick up the leader close home if reproducing its best rating recorded at Lingfield. 

The Defiant 7/1 1st +7pts

Mick's Spirit 12/1 7th -1pt 

Lay bets: Level Up +1pt, Libertus +1pt

Total +8pts

RIPON 3.25 

6F Class 2 8 Runners With showers and heavy rain about I'm not going to waste too much time on this race, if the going is good to firm I will be hoping that *HYPERFOCUS 9/2 can lead all the way but I will need to watch an earlier race to check on the going before deciding whether to bet of not.

5:30 Musselburgh Racing Tips & Lay Bets (30th July)

MUSSELBURGH 5.30 

I can find a few to lay (Obee Jo + Economic Crisis + Requinto Dawn) if the going is good to firm, True Hero could go well if it is good to firm but doesn't like even good ground, Burmese Blazer is well weighted on some of its form, Lucky Beggar should make the frame if the going is good to firm but isn't an each-way price, Bashiba is top-rated just using 2020 times so has to be considered but my money will be riding on THE DEFIANT 5/1 who could be the one to set the pace in this race and if getting to the front it ought to prove hard to catch. 

The Defiant 5/1 3rd (-1pt)

Lay bets: Economic Crisis -3.5pts, Obee Jo +1pt, Requinto Dawn +1pt 

Total: -3.5pts

MUSSELBURGH 6.30

Only 7 runners in this race so no each-way bets and I don't like betting with just 2 places, Duke Of Firenze doesn't like really good to firm ground, Sound Of Iona is held on form by the favourite Gowanbuster who is one of 3 known frontrunners in the field, the bottom weight Royal Brave is well weighted on its best time but it was from 2018, my money will be riding on another possible pacesetter so I'm hoping if MILITIA 9/2 can get to the front and then prove hard to catch and its best time was recorded this year.

Militia 9/2 1st (+4.5pts)

Total: +4.5pts

Total on the day: +1pt
