Best Bets: Friday 18 October

TICKITY TIA (Trap 2) - 18:22 Nottingham

The opening race (18.22) at Nottingham looks a very good opportunity for T2 TICKITY TIA. The selection reeled off back-to-back wins in A8 grade in Sheffield back in the spring and has run several good races in a shortish career at Nottingham since without quite managing to get her head in front. She shaped well in a recent trial back from a break and the company facing her here is much easier than she is usually up against.

HAVE A BRANDY (Trap 6) - 20:53 Romford

At Romford, there are a couple of decent bets starting with T6 HAVE A BRANDY in the 20.53. There isn’t much to choose between the selection and T5 Walk On Thomas on their latest efforts but overall Have A Brandy has the stronger profile and is already a proven winner against this calibre of rival, which can’t quite be said recently of Walk On Thomas.   

OUR LUCKY FOOL (Trap 2) - 21:56 Romford

Later, after the RPGTV races have ended, T2 OUR LUCKY FOOL can win the 21.56. Paul Young’s youngster has the best form of these coming into the race and the step up to 575m promises to bring about a fair bit of improvement. He rates a very confident selection.
