17.15 Best Odds Guaranteed At BetMGM Apprentice Handicap
The marginal vote in the opener goes to AGE OF TIME, who has C&D winning form off this exact mark and finished a good second at Kempton when last seen.
He’s drawn well in stall five and his handler often does well at this venue, so he should be thereabouts. ANTIQUITY is well treated though, and ran well past time out, so he’s another to note.
Tips: AGE OF TIME & ANTIQUITY
17.45 Midnite Are Upping The Betting Game Classified Stakes
This is a wide-open contest with plenty to consider. However, LHEBAYEB is 4lb below her last winning mark and was an eye-catcher when third at this venue last time out.
A slow start didn’t help but she ran on strongly to be nearest the finish, and given she has so much solid course form off higher marks, I think a return to winning ways could be imminent.
Tips: LHEBAYEB
18.15 Always Gamble Responsibly At BetMGM Fillies’ Novice Stakes
ARTANIS hasn’t yet lived up to market expectations in two starts but has placed in each of them and this could be the time to catch her with the experience to draw upon.
This well thought-of filly will make her all-weather debut and is George Boughey’s only runner on the card. I see no reason why she cannot go close to opening her account.
Tips: ARTANIS
18.45 Win 250,000 With BetMGM’s Golden Goals Handicap
Having placed on his last four starts, it could be worth taking a chance on DIAMONDONAHILL, who last succeeded off this mark and should have no problem with traffic issues in this small runner event.
His trainer has been amongst the winners of late which is always a good sign, so he should be able to go close off top weight.
Tips: DIAMONDONTHEHILL
19.15 Read Meg Nicholls’ Blog At betmgm.co.uk Handicap
The hat trick-seeking AL NAJASH ought to prove hard to beat. He’s unbeaten in two handicap starts and was so impressive at Lingfield six days ago, scoring by five lengths without coming out of second gear.
In an ideal world, a lower draw would have been preferred but that shouldn’t prevent him from making a serious impact. As a back-up, AR DIDDY DUM DUM is included having only found one too good last time out.
Tips: AL NAJASHI
19.45 Join The Midnite Movement Handicap
SAM’S XPRESS was ridden far too aggressively when beaten here last time out but did manage to finish a close up third under the circumstances.
Perhaps he can return to the winners circle if judging the fractions right back at a venue that’s already seen him win twice over track and trip. The six-year-old will ensure there’s no hiding place and can go well.
Tips: SAM’S XPRESS
