Racing tips for August 5: Catterick, Ffos Las, Newbury, and Roscommon horse races
In the 6:05 race at Newbury on Tuesday, the well-bred filly Miss Cartesian is strongly favoured as the main pick. This impressive runner, trained by Robbie Wilders, has shown promising form, including a powerful comeback from last to first on her debut and a smooth winner over seven furlongs at Newmarket.
Miss Cartesian's pedigree is impressive, with connections to top-class horses like the 1,000 Guineas heroine Mawj and Modern Games, a five-time Group 1 winner. She is regarded as likely to be better than her current handicap mark and is considered open to further improvement.
The main perceived threat comes from Saariselka, who has shown good performances at this grade before. However, Miss Cartesian's improving form, favourable opposition, and suitable conditions seem to strengthen her chances.
The expected going on Tuesday is good to good-to-firm ground, which Miss Cartesian has run well on. Some other runners in the race, like British Blue, Isabella Castile, and Ruff Justice, are noted as inconsistent or out of form, possibly strengthening Miss Cartesian’s chances.
Saratoga Gold, a former mid-90s performer, is competing at 8.15 Newbury. Trained by Paul Curtis, Saratoga Gold has a record of 2-2 over tonight's course and distance at Newbury, with his last win coming in first-time blinkers. He is being ridden by Jack Mitchell for the first time today.
Zambezi Magic, an eight-year-old trained by Bernard Llewellyn, is competing at 4.50 Ffos Las. Zambezi Magic has had success at Bath and is making a quick reappearance. He is on a mark that is considered winnable.
Aleen, trained by David Milnes, faces weaker competition compared to his last race and could potentially win at Catterick.
Robbie Wilders, known for his Placepot tips and play of the day, has not shared specific tips for this race, but his favouritism towards Miss Cartesian suggests a positive outlook.
