Neil Morrice brings us all of his best bets and tips for Monday’s racing at Ffos Las, Plumpton and Wolverhampton.
Ffos Las Best Bets
Race 1: TARA WELL (11) (Each Way)
Trainer: Nicky Henderson
Jockey: Daryl Jacob
There’s a lot to like about TARA WELL who having threatened to deliver can now convert. The 9yo loves this testing ground and should be cherry ripe following a very solid effort at Uttoxeter when strong in the market.
Race 5: DEJA VUE (3)
Trainer: Anthony Honeyball
Jockey: Aidan Coleman
DEJA VUE has been getting better race by race and sets the standard for the others to aim at. He absolutely hacked up over course and distance last time, and though raised 8lb looked good value for his winning margin.
Plumpton Best Bets
Race 5: SIXTIES SECRET (3) (Each Way)
Trainer: Sheena West
Jockey: Marc Goldstein
SIXTIES SECRET has knocked on the door and is a winner waiting to happen. She needs to turn things around with Scrutinise on their running here a fortnight ago but has bloomed in that period. The respective prices on these revised terms make Sixties Secre the value Each Way play.
Race 7: FALBERTO (12)
Trainer: Sam Thomas
Jockey: Jonjo O’Neill Jnr
The jockey booking tells you a lot regarding the chances of FALBERTO opening his account in this concluding bumper. The selection wasn’t streetwise on his debut at Chepstow but with the benefit of that run behind him can now show his true colours. This doesn’t look an especially warm race, and he is the one to beat.
Race 4: AUGUSTUS CAESAR (2)
Trainer: David O’Meara
Jockey: Danny Tudhope
The progression shown by AUGUSTUS CAESAR when scoring at Lingfield last time smacks of a horse on the up and up. Raised 7lb for that all the way success, he can transfer the form to this different surface and prove more than a handful for his largely out of form foes.
