Three selections today: the NAP (our strongest bet of the day), a next best, and a bigger-priced each-way pick. Stakes are in points, and every result goes into our record, winners and losers alike. Read how we pick our tips for the staking plan.
| Time | Course | Selection | Bet | Advised price | Stake |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1:50 | Example Park | Harbour Lights | Win (NAP) | 9/4 | 2 pts |
| 3:05 | Example Park | Copper Kettle | Win (next best) | 7/2 | 1 pt |
| 4:15 | Example Downs | Moonlit Ferry | Each way, 1/4 odds, 4 places | 12/1 | 0.5 pt e/w |
NAP: Harbour Lights (1:50 Example Park)
A course-and-distance winner last season, he has dropped 5lb in the weights after three runs on ground quicker than he likes. The forecast soft ground suits: all three of his wins have come on ground no quicker than good to soft.
The main danger is the favourite, who has to prove herself on this going. At 9/4 we think Harbour Lights is the right price to side with, and we'd still bet him down to 2/1.
Next best: Copper Kettle (3:05 Example Park)
Dropped in trip from two and a half miles to two, which looks the right move after he travelled well and faded late last time. His trainer has had four winners from her last ten runners, so the yard is in form.
Each-way pick: Moonlit Ferry (4:15 Example Downs)
A 16-runner handicap pays four places at a quarter of the odds under standard terms, and some bookmakers pay extra places, so check before you bet. Moonlit Ferry has been placed in three of his last five and has a light weight, which helps on testing ground. At 12/1 each way, a place alone returns a profit.
