Horse Racing Tips: Park to strike for Boughey and Buick at Hamilton
There are six race meetings taking place on Wednesday and the afternoon kicks off at Newton Abbot over the sticks at 13:30, while there's alternative racing at Beverley and Hamilton. There's a trio of fixtures this evening with Warwick begining at 17:00, while there's also evening action at Wexford and Ripon, with the latter concluding the day at 20:30. We take a look at all today's action and pick out some of the most eye-catching best bets from our host of racing writers...
George Boughey is still riding the crest of a wave following his fine 1000 Guineas victory with Cachet and the fledgling trainer heads to Hamilton Park this afternoon and looks to stand a great chance of tasting victory in the 14:50 contest. Boughey saddles the 5/4 shot Inver Park, who was a winner at Windsor last time out and carries a penalty today. Proving extremely popular with our racing tipsters, a massive seven of them have put up Inver Park as their best bet of the day with the likes of Marlborough from the Daily Telegraph, who is going in search of a hat-trick of winning naps, and Fortunatus of the Sheffield Star putting up Boughey's raider as the best bet of the day.
Tim Easterby's Nearly A Gonna will take on Inver Park in the 14:50 contest at Hamilton and that 100/30 chance has been napped by three tipsters, which include Andrew Bladen from the Wolverhampton Express & Star and The Guardian tipster in what looks an intriguing contest north of the border.
Expert Eye is still topping the naps table and is also heading to Hamilton for the best bet, and the high-flying tipster is backing the 5/6 chance Simply Sondheim in the 16:55 contest, while the third placed Garry Owen from the Daily Record has tipped up the Martin Todhunter-trained Arrange, who is currently a 100/30 chance for the 15:20 contest, and is aiming to build on a string of second placed finishes.
Luke Tucker of the Cambridge Evening News is the most in-form tipster at the moment having napped up three winners on the spin, and he will attempt to make it four on the bounce on Wednesday evening and is siding with the red-hot 8/13 favourite Sail Away, who looks a tough one to beat for Dan Skelton in the 18:35 at Warwick.
Robin Goodfellow has found terrific form this week and notched up a brace of winning naps on Monday and Tuesday, and the Daily Mail tipster heads to Beverley's 16:48 contest for the best bet of the day. Mark Walford's Bit Of A Quirke is a six-time course and distance winner, and is now 2lbs lower than his last winning mark, so if the nine-year-old can unearth his best form then he can go very close at an attractive 6/1 with the bookmakers.
For those punters looking for some bigger priced selections on Wednesday could side with the Tim Easterby-trained Mac Ailey, who is a 33/1 outsider for the 17:20 at Beverley, and is the best bet of Rory Paddock from the Jersey Evening Post, while Steph Hollinshead's 20/1 chance The Golden Cue is the best bet of Rory Delargy of the Irish Field in the 20:30 at Ripon.
