Best Bets: Friday 20 May

Freedom Special (Trap 3) - 18.43 Romford

We head over to Romford for our first selection at 18.43, heat 2 of the Friday night 500 maidens and Yarmouth raider FREEDOM SPECIAL (Trap 3) could be worth siding with. He highlighted his well-being with a facile success on home soil four days ago, assuming control off the second bend and maintaining the gallop for a four and a quarter length success. Stepping up in grade, this doesn’t look a strong race on paper and with a good break, the son of Fernando Bale may well be up to following up.

Perfecto Allstar (Trap 5) - 19.09 Nottingham

We head to Nottingham’s Colwick Park for our second selection at 19.09 with PERFECTO ALLSTAR (Trap 5) earning our vote to come out on top. Largely in good form of late, the November 19’ whelp was only touched off by a resurgent veteran in this class of A3 seven days ago. A versatile tracker, that effort reads well in the context of this affair and with a clear run, he can announce his presence from the three-quarter point and come out on top.

Borna Jingle (Trap 5) - 20.03 Central Park

Over at Central Park, BORNA JINGLE (Trap 5, 20.03) has took time to get the hang of things, but he confirmed more positive signs when making all over the 265-metre trip on his penultimate start 17 days ago. Faced with a two-grade rise, he backed up that effort when running on for second latest. That effort on the clock gives him sound claims in tonight’s field and with a clear passage, he could well be up to adding further success to his tally.
