Best Bets: Friday 25 January

Townside Zelda (Trap 4) - 19:42 at Nottingham   

Townside Zelda (Trap 4, 19.42) is a firmly established sort at Nottingham with plenty of victories on her C.V. The daughter of Windy Millar has a style perfectly suited to handicaps and her make up off R3 in a race lacking depth looks ideal. So where hopeful she can get us off to a flyer.

Troy Bella (Trap 5) - 20:06 at Romford 

Troy Bella (Trap 5, 20.06) has made his name in strong 2-bend contests but has the 400-metre trip at Romford within his range and is fancied to come out on top. A winner over C&D on his penultimate start, he was only run down late in the day back here last time. He boasts the best sectional rating this evening and he is fancied to clear those to his inside to the first bend and have enough in reserve.

Prize Fighter (Trap 6) - 20:38 at Romford

Magical Houdini was impressive when scoring over C&D 7 days ago and rates the type to play a lead role again, yet it may pay to side with the returning Prize Fighter (Trap 6, 20.38) representing the Kevin Hutton kennel. The son of Laughill Blake blew away the cobwebs with a slick sprint trial at Swindon 10 days ago and, with an enviable Romford record to call upon, it would come as no surprise to see him trap fast out wide and play a lead role.
