15:07 MONMORE: AERO BERTIE (Trap 1)
AERO BERTIE (1) made an impressive first appearance at Monmore last Thursday, displaying plenty of potential. In today's A8 race at 15:07, he's expected to be a strong contender. After missing the break and cutting across from trap two in his debut, the inside draw should suit him perfectly this time around. His remarkable speed approaching the third bend caught everyone's attention, and with that initial experience under his belt, there's every reason to believe he’ll show improvement today.
20:59 CRAYFORD: SWIFT WORD (Trap 5)
SWIFT WORD (5), a March 2023 pup trained by Jean Liles, is another exciting young prospect to follow in Crayford’s A7 race at 20:59. After chasing down the previously mentioned runner in a promising debut, he took a significant step forward in his latest outing. Although he missed the break again, his pace down the backstretch improved his lap time by over four lengths. Still figuring out his ideal racing line, he frequently angled toward the inside during his last run. A vacant trap next to him should provide some added room, and with a cleaner start, he has every chance to be highly competitive.
21:16 CRAYFORD: RAYMONDS CHARLIE (Trap 4)
RAYMONDS CHARLIE (4) may not have lived up to expectations last week, but he’s definitely worth watching again in the A5 at Crayford this evening at 21:16. Trainer Nick Carter’s young dog showed impressive drive, despite missing the break, nearly leading the pack at the first bend. His burst of pace at the third bend was especially noticeable. With less competition for speed on his inside in this race, he’s likely to get into a strong position early, which could make him difficult to catch, especially given his record of two sub-24-second runs.
