Rory Delargy and David Massey are back with their daily previews and have two selections across the cards.
Racing betting tips: Tuesday August 11
1pt win Chico Dulce in the 14:30 Lingfield at 7/2 (General)
1pt win Joanna Hiffernan in the 18:45 Nottingham at 2/1 (General)
18:45 Nottingham
Just the 32 runners in six races at Nottingham tonight but it’s the Annual General Meeting of the Hucknall Rams there (all three of us, there may be alcohol) so I have had a look at the card in full. And it’s a good job I did as JOANNA HIFFERNAN, who we were with on her handicap debut at Leicester last month, goes again and both Rory and I agreed she was definitely worth another chance, particularly if going up in trip.
Yes, she was beaten seven lengths by Ottoman at Leicester but she’d have got closer had she got out earlier, somewhat trapped on the rail as the winner came sailing down the outside, and once out in the clear she ran on takingly enough under no more than hands-and-heels. Given the third, Trojan Truth, was beaten a short-head in a similar handicap on his next star, a mark of 61 today should be very workable. Upped a a mile in trip today, which on pedigree will suit, as will Nottingham’s long home straight, which will give her chance to find stride. There are a couple of in-form types in here that should help her price hold up too, and all in all, we’re quite keen to be with her today.
14.30 Lingfeld
CHICO DULCE has been campaigned over a mile for much of the past nine months, possibly not a surprise given his win over that trip here last November, but he looks in need of ten furlongs again and his C&D record at this trip reads 1324, running with consistency when he gets these conditions and with all due respect to those who have been riding him since April, the booking of Billy Loughnane can hardly be a negative towards his chances.
A recent run at Kempton looked needed after a break since April, fading out of things in the final furlong, and he ought strip fitter for it. Plenty in his favour today.
