Best Bets: Friday 10 May

CLARES PERISI (Trap 4) in the 18:22 at Nottingham

Having missed a large chunk of early 2019, it was all the more encouraging to see CLARES PERISI get off the mark in good style in A3 last time, breaking well and comfortably holding his rivals by 3 lengths. That effort was solid on the clock and tonight’s contest essentially rates no tougher, so Adrian McPherson’s charge is fancied to follow-up.

DROOPYS BEETLE (Trap 6) in the 21:08 at Romford

DROOPYS BEETLE was a progressive grader at home track Henlow and, in truth has improved considerably for the step up to 6-bends of late, taking her C&D record to three wins from four outings with a facile success last week. That effort was a cracker on the clock from the front, yet the daughter of Quietly is not reliant on blazing a trail and she is fancied to prove too strong for this evening’s opposition.

BUBBLY JOE (Trap 2) in the 21:26 at Romford

BUBBLY JOE has long since established himself as one of Romford’s leading hounds over the standard 400-metre trip, readily dipping under the 24-second barrier. Despite returning from a spell on the side-lines, he was impressive in making a winning return 7 days ago and a similar smash break from the boxes can see him prove far too strong for tonight’s opposition.
