Chris Baker: One bet in Germany this afternoon
European racing resumes today with a 12-race card at Hanover in Germany, which features three Listed races. I’ve picked out one bet. Good luck if you decide to follow. You can watch the action free of charge here.
Hanover Tip
13:30 – Race 2 (6.5f)
The Group 3 winner Namos should find this assignment easier than the ones he tackled last summer, but slight preference is for the ex Mick Channon-trained colt BIG BOOTS (NAP). He’s been prolific since leaving England, winning six of his 13 starts and being placed on three other occasions. He made a fine start to life with his current trainer by beating a subsequent Listed winner on his stable debut before finishing third in Listed and Group 2 company. Jockey Marco Casamento was on board for his last two runs, and as a winner over both six and seven furlongs, today’s intermediate trip should pose no problems.
Recommendation:
13:30 at Hanover - BIG BOOTS – 1 point win bet at 7/2.
