Horse Racing Tips: Nap of the Day


Ian Ogg has the Saturday best bets from around the tracks.


Saturday selections

Sky Bet odds | Paddy Power | Betfair Sportsbook

DUE FOR LUCK - 5.20 Chester (NAP)

It's a quick turnaround for DUE FOR LUCK who finished last at Pontefract having raced too keenly. That free-going tendency isn't ideal but it may also be that Pontefract isn't a course that will show Due For Luck in his best light given his good form at this track and at Epsom earlier in the season. He didn't enjoy much luck in running on either occasion but those efforts are rock solid in the context of this race and he's back down to the rating from which he was second at this course and he can go close if the cards fall right.

AUGUSTE RODIN - 3.40 Ascot

His record contains the odd inexplicable blooper, including in this race last year, and when behind Rebel's Romance in the Sheema Classic but when he's good, he's very good. AUGUSTE RODIN isn't the type to win doing handstands by half the track and always looked to be in control of the Prince Of Wales's Stakes despite the relatively narrow winning margin; he should again prove hard to beat.

THEME PARK - 4.35 York

THEME PARK twice finished second over C&D last season and has been running respectably here this term, in competitive handicaps over further. Without a win in 12 starts for his current connections, he's clearly a slightly frustrating individual but he has the ability to win a race of this nature and the handicapper has given Theme Park a chance, easing him by 7lbs during this campaign leaving the four-year-old on a career low mark. He's worth another chance.

HENERY HAWK - 5.30 Newcastle

Fifteen career runs on grass have yielded one third placed finish for HENERY HAWK so don't judge his recent form too harshly. Six runs ago he was running off 70 on the all-weather and gets to return to artificial surfaces from the lowly perch of 57 after those five fruitless spins on grass. He's a three time course winner and could easily return to form.

MISS STORMY NIGHT - 7.15 Lingfield

The penny has dropped for MISS STORMY NIGHT who is taken to complete her hat-trick. Off the mark at the third time of asking in handicap company, she followed up by four lengths at Nottingham to earn a hefty 10lb hit from the handicapper but she looks well placed here and can make light of the rise.

DANCINGWITHMYSELF - 8.30 Salisbury

There are some relatively unexposed runners among the opposition who may yet prove capable of better but DANCINGWITHMYSELF looks to have more to offer as a stayer having opened her account at Ripon. She's tackling a new trip and quicker ground as well as having to cope with a higher rating but won with plenty in hand and looked like one to keep on side.
