Best Bets: Friday 13 October

CANDOLIM MONSOON (Trap 4) - 20:54 Romford

The PGR Champion Stakes semi-finals feature on Romford’s all open-race card this evening and CANDOLIM MONSOON can overcome a tricky draw and land the third of them at 20:54. A strong-running son of Magical Bale is up to leading this field from the black jacket and he can book his place in next week’s final.

BALLYMAC MAGS (Trap 1) - 21:02 Oxford

BALLYMAC MAGS is a bitch with the bit firmly between her teeth at present, enhancing her good record over the 650-metre trip, coming from mid-division to clear away impressively in a good time. Open to further progress as a stayer, she’s worth siding with to continue the work and complete the hat-trick in the red jacket.

IVANEXILE (Trap 5) - 21:18 Oxford

The Oxford Stadium Standard features our final selection at 21:18 and the admirable IVANEXILE, who boasts an excellent record over this C&D, is fancied to resume winning ways. Again displaying fine early pace, he was only reeled in late by another high-class sort on his latest outing two weeks ago. Boasting sound claims of leading out wide, Matt Dartnall’s charge boasts a 4-7 record operating in the orange jacket and he can make another bold bid.
