Martin's backing a big price runner at Newcastle
"I’m revisiting the 1m handicap at 16:35 for my best bet of the day, with Tap Dance Way taken to make all under Jim Crowley."
Martin Dixon livens up Tuesday afternoon with a pair of promising bets on the Flat...
It's a swift return to reality after the highs of Newmarket at the weekend, with today's British Flat racing particularly mediocre. Punchestown takes centre stage but I tend to dumb down on the Jumps racing at this point of the season. So, Bath and Newcastle it is...
My first two bets of the afternoon are both part of an angle I've been using for a few days now. Simon Dow is a trainer I have plenty of time for but his horses seem badly out of sorts after a good start to the year and I recommend place laying both of his runners at Bath today, namely Commerce in the 16:35 and Out of The Storm in the 17:10.
Now to the win bets. I'm revisiting the 1m handicap at 16:35 for my best bet of the day, with Tap Dance Way taken to make all under Jim Crowley. Patrick Chamings has his horses in excellent form at present, with three first-time-out winners during the last month, and I think his lightly-raced filly has improvement in her this season. She made every yard to win a similar c/d event on her penultimate three-year-old outing and it looks unlikely that there'll be any pressure on the lead this afternoon.
I always like to throw something in at a bigger price and it's worth chancing Vito Volterra win only in the 15:45 at Newcastle. He's well handicapped on the best of last year's form, particularly with a useful 5-lb claimer up today, and if on song he's another that could have the run of the race up out in front on the favoured stands rail.
Recommended Bets
Back Tap Dance Way @ [4.0] in the 16:35 @ Bath
Back Vito Volterra @ 13.0 in the 15:45 @ Newcastle
It's Monday and it's Terry Norman in the Timeform Radio hotseat. Here are his picks of the day's action....
The pick of the action may be at HQ but Terry Norman has identified a promising pair from elsewhere......
Even if you think the favourite is almost certain to win, David Cleary believes there is a cracking bet to be had in the 2000 Guineas....
