Our expert previews Wednesday's action at Perry Barr, Romford, and Yarmouth, highlighting three top bets.
19.39 Yarmouth
DRUMDOIT GINGER (Trap 5)
Drumdoit Ginger had a promising debut over six bends at Yarmouth on May 20, finishing a close second. Showing good stamina throughout the race, she's well-positioned to secure her first staying race win tonight. Having already won five races at the track over 462m, she’s demonstrated versatility in both leading and coming from behind. Expect her to stay handy and make a decisive move late in the race.
Contender to Watch: Zippady Do Dah (Trap 6) – His running style suggests six bends could suit him well. Despite finishing third in his previous attempt in S3, he showed determination after facing trouble around bends.
20.01 Romford
DROOPYS SAOIRSE (Trap 1)
Droopys Saoirse is in excellent form for trainer Paul Young, winning two of her last three starts in lower grades and a dominant A2 victory by over five lengths. With rapid times recorded in May, she’s ready to compete at the A1 level. Still a puppy with four wins from nineteen starts, she’s clearly in top shape.
Contender to Watch: Bubbly Ranger (Trap 2) – An A1 winner with a time just a tick slower than Droopys Saoirse's, he has strong staying power. Despite a disappointing run in the Coral Coronation Cup, he remains a formidable opponent.
20.41 Perry Barr
RIDGEMOUNT LUCKY (Trap 5)
In her second race of 2024, Ridgemount Lucky looks promising after a respectable fourth-place finish in her return 11 days ago. Prior to her layoff, she was known for her consistent starts out of the traps. With a few slow starters in the field, she has a chance to get ahead early. The Aveline kennel appears to be handling her return carefully, making this race an ideal opportunity for her to secure a win.
Contender to Watch: Parkers Nancy (Trap 2) – Capable of quick starts, she could serve as a gatekeeper around the opening bend. However, she has missed the break in three of her last five starts, making her a bit inconsistent. The outcome largely depends on the start.
