Today’s Racing Tips – September 14th

Saturday’s ITV action focuses on the big day of the year at Doncaster, with the last classic of the turf season taking place at 3.40pm. This years St Leger looks a good quality and open renewal, with some
progressive stayers from Britain and Ireland taking each other on for the prestigious Group 1 prize.

Today’s Daily Nap

AL QAREEM

Chester 2.05 (UK time)

Karl Burke’s strong traveller has been very highly tried all season in warm company, and can take advantage of a drop in class at Chester. He was no match for the prolific Al Aasy last time out having again taken a keen grip under restraint in the early stages in a muddling small field at Newbury, and perhaps a switch to front-running tactics round this sharp turning track can see him get back in the winning groove.

Odds: 3.00

Today’s Value Angle

DAYSOFOURLIVES

Doncaster 4.15 (UK time)

Marco Botti’s progressive handicapper posted a career best effort when fourth in a huge field for the Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot in June, and he has been kept fresh for this valuable heritage handicap by his astute connections. Jack Mitchell is sure to ride a patient race in this big field, and the galloping nature of this flat track should give him plenty of time to navigate a clean run through late on.

Odds: 9.00

ITV Racing Tips – Saturday September 14th

Time (UK)	Track	Horse	Analysis
1:50	Doncaster	BAY CITY ROLLER	George Scott’s scopey juvenile has really impressed in winning both career starts at this summer (landing hefty market confidence in the process), and he can maintain his unbeaten record by landing this valuable Group 2 prize under Callum Shepherd.
2:05	Chester	AL QAREEM	Karl Burke’s strong traveller has been very highly tried all season in warm company, and can take advantage of a drop in class at Chester. He was no match for the prolific Al Aasy last time out having again taken a keen grip under restraint in the early stages in a muddling small field at Newbury, and perhaps a switch to front-running tactics round this sharp turning track can see him get back in the winning groove.
2:25	Doncaster	AMERICAN AFFAIR	Jim Goldie’s sprinter has been a model of consistently in recent weeks, and this flat track over 5f on decent ground should suit ideally under regular rider Paul Mulrennan. A strong pace is certain in a huge field, and he will be looking to weave his way through in the closing stages.
2:40	Chester	.EMIYN	Declan Carroll’s stayer has been building up to peak form in just three starts so far this season, and his freshness can count for plenty here against some very opposable rivals. The talented claimer Zak Wheatley takes off a handy 3lb, and this sharp track on decent ground should suit ideally.
3:00	Doncaster	LEAD ARTIST	John and Thady Gosden’s progressive performer has some rock solid form and has been running really well in recent weeks, so this jump up in class to Group 2 company should be well within his compass (in what appears a weakfish renewal of the Park Stakes at Doncaster on Saturday).
3:40	Doncaster	ILLINOIS	Aidan O’Brien’s progressive stayer has thrived on a relatively busy time this summer (five runs since returning in April), posting a cracking effort last time out when second to Los Angeles in the Great Voltiguer at York. The return to 1m6f and the long Doncaster straight on decent ground should be ideal, and he remains open to plenty more improvement after seven career starts.
4:15	Doncaster	DAYSOFOURLIVES	Marco Botti’s progressive handicapper posted a career best effort when fourth in a huge field for the Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot in June, and he has been kept fresh for this valuable heritage handicap by his astute connections. Jack Mitchell is sure to ride a patient race in this big field, and the galloping nature of this flat track should give him plenty of time to navigate a clean run through late on.
