Best Bets: Friday 22 March

GOLDIES HODDLE (Trap 1) in the 20:06 at Romford

GOLDIES HODDLE is undoubtedly a well-above average performer with some smart early pace, something he highlighted when scoring at Monmore in late February. Little went right over C&D seven days ago, early crowding putting paid to his chance. However, the pick of his form, including at this venue reads well and, with his sectional rating standing out above the opposition here, all looks set fair for a big run.  

SWIFT SABBATH (Trap 6) in the 20:53 at Romford

A recent semi-finalist in the Coral Golden Sprint SWIFT SABBATH has been quick to make his mark over the 575-metre distance, readily accounting for re-opposing Sporting Gringo latest. The son of Superior Product clearly handles the contours of Romford well and a similar slick exit out wide will see him a tough nut to crack.

AVASTORM (Trap 6) in the 21:56 at Romford

Romford’s final race takes place at 21:56 and we think the claims of AVASTORM look fairly compelling. Mark Wallis’ charge has looked well served by stepping up in trip of late, bolting up over 692 metres 3 starts back and, given her make-up out wide looks a useful one, we’re hopeful of a very big run.
