PLAY IT SAM FOR US
SAM BELLAMY (3.30) can plunder the Star Sports Handicap on a competitive card at Brighton.
Mark Johnston’s gelding handled this quirky track well a fortnight ago when just denying Thunderoad.
That race is working out well so this pacy type should shrug off a lenient 4lb penalty.
MOSTALLIM (2.0) ought to extend Michael Appleby’s winning run in the Carnaby Handicap. The four-year-old ran a stormer here when chinned by He’s Our Star over a mile. The gelding is on an attractive mark a month on so can do better dropped a furlong.
MAHANAKHON POWER (3.0) stands to deliver a double for the shrewd handler.
The gelding stayed on track over 1m 2f when chinned by Mystic Dragon at Yarmouth.
The four-year-old should still be in peak form so looks set to take advantage of a workable mark eight days on.
HE’S OUR STAR (4.0) can give Tony Carroll his usual winner at this venue.
The gelding should score with a repeat of his third to Sam Bellamy over course and distance a fortnight ago.
DO NO WRONG (2.50) is hard to fault in the novices’ handicap hurdle at Perth.
Justin Landy’s gelding comfortably accounted for Countister on his handicap bow at Sedgefield last month and is unexposed over timber.
DIDO (4.15) ought to call the tune for Alexandra Dunn in the handicap chase at Newton Abbot.
The 11-year-old stayed near enough 3m 2f well when giving a thriving Mister Tickle most resistance here last month.
The gelding is lightly raced for his age so should triumph in a weaker contest.
Grant Tuer is hitting form so it’s worth backing LIBBY
AMI (5.55) on the all-weather at Newcastle. The three-yearold cosily dismissed Captain Corelli on debut for her handler at Carlisle last month.
The filly looks fairly treated so looks poised to follow up at a track where she has excelled.
GLORIOUS RIO (8.0) can complete a hat-trick for skilled trainer Stella Barclay.
The sprinter showed a willing attitude when outpointing Iris Dancer at Hamilton 10 days ago and is even better here.
