Monday's 2YO Racing Tips (14th Aug)

A few races today, three of most interest.

3:00 Wolverhampton – 

Doesn’t look the easiest race. Bibendum has a couple of class 2 entries and ran ok on debut. Not seen for a while and stepping up in distance. Gosden has fair stats when 13/2 and less sp but his horses have been struggling for form and no value and probably best watched until the stable start to find winners. Zipster was in need of the run on debut and very slow away. Certainly wouldn’t want that happening today. Looks a nice horse physically. Very good stats and would be of interest if 13/2 and less sp. Stanley Spencer looks held. Media Shoot didn’t do much on debut and would have claims if 13/2 and less sp. Still has lots to prove. Amroon cost decent money and may have a hope. Would have fair ew claims if priced 13/2 and less. Korroor was short priced on debut and failed to show up. Would have claims if priced 11/1 and less.

Conclusion: A tricky race. Best to let the betting settle down. Main hope would be Zipster. Amroon may be worth a pre-emptive bet at big odds and hope is backed.

5:30 Windsor – 

Not much value at the top of the market. Both Gladly Ever After and Drama has entries and look capable. The later would be of interest if drifting in the betting but looks unlikely to happen. Invincible Aura ran well on debut when a touch keen. Has fair stats and looks capable but this looks a challenge. My main interest here, value wise, would be Ed Walker’s Tayala who has been given a class 2 stakes entry. Needed the run and was getting going all too late. From a stat point of view, would need to be backed to 13/2 and less but would have very good place claims if happening. A wide draw isn’t ideal and a pretty tough race so probably one to be careful with but not without hope.

6:40 Hamilton – 

Looks a low class race. Interesting that Camacho has given Arantes Nascimento a class 2 (banded) entry. She doesn’t have many winners on debut so can’t say I would rush out to bet on it but if available at big odds may be gambled. 

Main hopes today: 

3:00 Wolverhampton: Zipster 

5:30 Windsor: Tayala (ew) (must be 13/2 and less sp)
