Best Bets: Friday 28 August

Disaster (Trap 6) - 13:09 Hove

There are some unknown quantities in Hove's basement-level A10 contest, with traps 1, 2 and 3 having raced just seven times between them. Clearly that trio haven't set the world alight so far and, on the clock, the more exposed Disaster (T6) is very much the one to beat. A triple-A9 winner during the winter, the selection has struggled a touch upon resumption but the drop to this grade may well enable Disaster to regain the winning thread.

Panda Blue (Trap 4) - 19:58 Nottingham

To say Panda Blue (T4) has hit the ground running post-lockdown would be an understatement, with five wins since June an excellent return. Bumping at the second bend denied us the chance to see what he could do in A1 class last week but the grader was quick to place him back into an A2 and Panda Blue may well take full advantage.

Highview Buzz (Trap 3) - 21:16 Nottingham

Highview Buzz (T3) has yet to taste success upon her transfer from Belle Vue and this galloping 500m asks more of a question stamina-wise than the 470m track she used to compete at. She was worn down late last week, but that was a stronger A6 than this one and her early pace will see her blow a race apart at this level sooner rather than later.
