VEGA GETS PARK VOTE
PUT your tick in the Fifth column to win the battle of the Bet365 Cambridgeshire.
FIFTH POSITION
(3.35) has been in decent form this summer and he looks a likely type for this historic Newmarket handicap.
He finished much the best of those to race up the stands’ side when third behind Lucander at York last month, having filled the same position behind Sinjaari in the John Smith’s Cup.
His record on easy ground is good and this big-field charge should set up for him.
Have 1pt each-way at
18-1.
There’s rain forecast at Newmarket and that tips the Middle Park balance in the favour of LUCKY
(3.00). Jessie Harrington’s youngster found a stack of trouble last time out but he was mighty impressive when landing the Group 1 Phoenix
VEGA
Stakes at the Curragh. It’s worth having 1pt to win at 100-30.
I’ve been waiting for
MILLTOWN STAR
(2.05) to step up to a mile and he does just that in the Close Brothers Handicap at Haydock.
He’s had only two runs this season and has caught the eye both times. Mick Channon (left) should have him spot on for today so have 1pt each-way at 12-1.
I found someone had put the heating on the other day so it must mean the jumps season is about to get going.
REBEL ROYAL (2.10) looks the best bet on Market Rasen’s decent card. Alan King’s hope is at his best when fresh and he prefers righthanded tracks.
He looked a natural when winning on his chase debut at Huntingdon last season so the 14-1 on offer shouldn’t be missed.
