Best Bets: Friday 8 July

Swift Howe (Trap 4) - 14.04 Newcastle

SWIFT HOWE (Trap 4, 14.04) has been quick to make up in to a fairly useful performer at Newcastle, opening his account in A2 class 3 starts back and matching that effort in defeat subsequently despite meeting with trouble-in-running. A strong-running pup, he’s open to further improvement on the back of just 7 career starts and granted racing room, is fancied to come home best of all to gain a second career success.

Droopys Supremo (Trap 6) - 18.33 Central Park

We head over to Central Park for our second selection, an A1 contest over the 480-metre trip and DROOPYS SUPREMO (Trap 6, 18.33) could be the one to side with. Impressive when making all in this class 12 days ago, he’s already proven he’s not reliant on leading and in what hardly rates a strong top-grade affair, it would be disappointing were he not able to play a lead role once more.

Romeo Mission (Trap 6) - 18.43 Romford

We quickly head over to Romford and up in class for our third smartplay selection, a maiden open contest over 400-metres and with a recent A1 comeback run under his belt ROMEO MISSION (Trap 6, 18.43) could be ready to strike. Rapidly progressive up the graded ladder earlier this year, his latest effort was his first for 3 weeks and, well-housed in stripes, he can turn handy out wide and assert from halfway to add further success to his tally.
