The weekend charge begins on Friday with a thrilling six-meeting horse racing card, and the Newsboy is here to guide your bets. From the all-weather action at Lingfield and Newcastle to the jumps at Exeter and Huntingdon, there's value to be found for every punter.
Newsboy's Nap of the Day: The Hot Tip
All eyes are on Lingfield for the Nap of the Day, where BASHFUL (2.30) looks poised for a spectacular performance. This horse has been knocking on the door recently and finds itself on a tempting mark. The step back up in trip is a shrewd move by the connections, and with conditions to suit, this could be the day it sails home in front. A confident selection.
Next Best Bet: The Value Alternative
For the Next Best, we head to Newcastle where MISTER SNOOZY (4.15) demands attention. This gelding has been in solid form and has previously shown a real affinity for the Tapeta surface. With a handy draw and a jockey in fine form booked, everything points towards a huge run at a very backable price.
Friday's Each-Way Gambles & Longshots
For those looking for a bigger priced winner to spark the fireworks, the Newsboy has scoured the cards for the best each-way value:
- EXETER: Keep a close watch on BRAVE STORM (1.50) in the opener. This horse loves the track and the ground, making it a live outsider.
- HUNTINGDON: LUCKY LILY (3.35) has been crying out for this longer distance and could outrun its odds dramatically.
- DUNDALK: The Irish card offers DESERT DRAGON (6.00), a previous course and distance winner who is dangerously well-handicapped.
Remember, gambling should always be fun and done responsibly. Only ever stake what you can afford to lose. The thrill of the race is in the spectacle, not just the result. Good luck and enjoy a fantastic day of racing!
