Thursday Racing Tips (3rd August)

Thursday

Newcastle 19:45

Another short one. Al Waasl a pretty cheap purchase at 35,000 gns for trainer James Ferguson. The Showcasing colt made his debut in an average novice stakes race at Newbury when easy to back at 11s, definitely needed the run that day when given a quiet ride by Rob Havlin, well-regarded by the Ferguson yard and interesting to see how the short priced favourite gets on. Test Of Love is another tracker for Sir Mark Prescott who looked pretty useless until gaining a bit of ground towards the end on his debut at Chelmsford, needs to improve definitely.

18.20 Epsom  

Looks an interesting race this with a few trackers, I'm Puzzled for Harry & Roger Charlton, pretty sure I backed this Sea The Moon colt last timeout when finishing fourth at Ascot, decent run and the form stands up with the winner of the Ascot rave Al Musmak finishing second in a Listed race. Another tracker in the same race is PREPSCHOOL for the Michael Bell yard. Easy to back on debut when sent off 20/1 and looking very keen in the early stages, Saffie Osbourne couldn't find a gap and was closed every opportunity, coasted home with plenty to give, so it looked anyway. I'm going to see if I can get a big early price and hopefully the Camelot colt has settled down. Mullazem another tracker for Richard Hannon. 

Thanks for reading and good luck.
