Best Bets: Friday 29 March

Blackjack Boss (Trap 1) in the 15:07 at Newcastle

BLACKJACK BOSS (Trap 1, 15.07) doesn’t make things easy with moderate breaks but this grade of A6 is his grade nowadays and, having gone close 8 days ago, he’s expected to go one place better. This is a race lacking a great deal of depth and provided he turns unscathed around bends 1 & 2 a big run looks on the cards for Jimmy Fenwick’s charge.

Mooncoin Vincent (Trap 6) in the 18:27 at Romford

MOONCOIN VINCENT (Trap 6, 18.27) crucially of late, has become more consistent at the boxes which in turn has led to improved performances, as he highlighted when scoring readily in A4 class 4 days ago. There are valid reasons to think the son of Scolari Me Daddy can turn front rank again this evening and, with the bit firmly between his teeth, we’re hopeful of a bold follow-up bid.

Lukewarm (Trap 5) in the 19:17 at Romford

LUKEWARM (Trap 5, 19.17) gained a hard-fought success in a C&D A1 during the middle of last month and he has essentially run with credit on 3 of his 4 starts subsequently, emerging with credit in finishing second latest having encountered trouble-in-running. Phil Simmond’s charge has a good make-up in the orange jacket this evening, particularly if turning handy and he can turn the screw from the ¾ point and come home in front.
