David Massey has one selection at Wolverhampton this evening for the Punting Pointers duo.
Racing betting tips: Tuesday August 18
1pt win Flash Kozo in the 20:00 Wolverhampton at 11/4 (General, min 9/4)
17:52 Lingfield
Happier is the one that’s in form here, having won her last couple of starts, but they have both been at five furlongs and that does seem to be the trip she’s happiest (pardon the wordplay) at these days, her last four wins all coming at the minimum and for all she did win a weakish Redcar maiden over six a couple of seasons ago, I’ll pass her over on this occasion.
Diamond Dreamer is inconsistent, to say the least, and never picked a leg up at Kempton last time but has bounced back from poor efforts before and these conditions are fine, his record in Class 6 contests over 6f on an artificial surface when wearing blinkers reading 130110, and you can add two further 5f victories to that total. A close third over C&D back in April from a 6lb higher mark shows he can do it when he wants to, and in the hope this drop in class helps him refind his better form, is worth a look today.
20:00 Wolverhampton
FLASH KOZO had started to look a bit disappointing before his Southwell win last time out where more patient tactics worked the oracle, Flash Kozo running out a ready length and a quarter winner from a couple that were in good form coming into the race. There’s a bit of pace on here too, so similar tactics can be employed, and although he has gone up 5lb for that success, he’s only a pound higher than his initial handicap mark, so is probably still very much on the right side of the handicapper. He can go in again now the penny has dropped.
