Today's fare looks very moderate. We'll have just one interest.
5.25 Brighton Sir Pedro 4pts win @ 10/1 (Bet Victor, Stan James, Betpack.com, guaranteed, 9/1 generally guaranteed)
This is a tight looking handicap, and a chance is taken on Robert Cowell's Sir Pedro to rediscover his form. He has no experience of this track which has to count as a negative, but his trainer seems to do well getting the best out of horses at the likes of Goodwood and Epsom, and he is a top trainer of sprinters whose string have returned to form with a bang in recent days. The selection disappointed at Windsor last time out having gotten upset in the stalls, but the return of a hood should help him settle better before and during the race today. The last time he ran on turf with this headgear, he won a decent Doncaster sprint handicap off 4lb higher than he runs off today, and at 9/1+ despite some negatives I think he is worth taking a chance on. Vincentti had a good look around when he hit the front last time out, Ruby's Day seemed to get her Ripon race to run to suit and her jockey is inexperienced at this track, while Whitecrest will have to come on quite a bit for her reappearance run. If Sir Pedro can put it all together (which is no certainty) and handle the track, he might be well handicapped enough to demonstrate a class edge over his opposition today.
Profit & loss: day: -4.00 / month: +191.60 / year: +278.85
