Best Bets: Friday 30 August

BINKSEY BRUCE (Trap 2) in the 18.44 at Romford

BINKSY BRUCE (Trap 2) was impressive when landing back-to-back open race events earlier this month and having had little go right on his most recent start 7 days ago, is fancied to bounce back. Drawn in blue, outside one that has yet to get the hang of trapping, Phil Simmond's charge can be expected to be seen in a much better light, particularly if holding his position to the corner.

SPORTING DAVE (Trap 2) in the 20.38 at Romford

Tonight we see the semi-finals of the Coral Champion Stakes at Romford and SPORTING DAVE (Trap 2) looks to have been granted an excellent opportunity to book his place in the final. The Hove raider was a comfortable scorer 7 days ago, with a slick sectional and a repeat should suffice this evening.

ANTIGUA VOWS (Trap 1) in the 20.53 at Romford

Our final selection comes in the third semi-final, with ANTIGUA VOWS (Trap 1) fancied to supplement her defeat over Sheldan from last week. Seizing an early lead on the rails rates a distinct possibility for Mark Wallis' charge and she can build on what already rates a solid C.V at the Essex venue.
