Newsboy's Expert Selections for Monday's Three Race Meetings
Racing correspondent Newsboy has unveiled his top tips for Monday's action across three UK racecourses, featuring a strong nap selection at Wolverhampton and a noteworthy bet at Ffos Las to complete a compelling Daily Double.
Wolverhampton Nap: Kento Poised for Victory
KENTO (8.00, Nap) is fancied to secure another win in the Join The Midnite Movement Classified Stakes at Wolverhampton on Monday evening. The consistent gelding, trained by Tony Carroll and sired by Kuroshiuo, recently triumphed over the same course and distance under jockey Rossa Ryan.
In that race, Kento led from the start, was pushed along in the final furlong, and won comfortably by three-quarters of a length against Henery Hawk. This performance suggests there is more potential to unlock. Previously, the selection finished second at Lingfield, narrowly beaten by An Laochmor, and was also runner-up at Wolverhampton early last month to My Genghis. With Billy Loughnane taking the reins this time, Kento is expected to be a strong contender.
Ffos Las Next Best: El Rojo Grande in Form
EL ROJO GRANDE (3.00, nb) is highlighted as the next best selection, boasting an impressive record of not finishing outside the top two in his last five races. Trained by Katy Price, the nine-year-old was narrowly defeated by a head in his latest start over two miles at Ffos Las while aiming for a fourth consecutive win.
Newsboy believes El Rojo Grande can return to winning ways in the Good Luck Barry Murphy Handicap Chase. The horse has shown strong finishing ability over two miles and should benefit from the increased distance of 2m3f, with jockey Shane Quinlan aboard.
