Best Bets: Friday December 28

Insane Maggie (Trap 2) - 19.54 Central Park 

Insane Maggie makes plenty of appeal in the 19.54 at Central Park. The selection looks set for a clear run to the first bend possessing more early speed than those around her, and this is effect a drop in class having made all in an Open contest last time. Two starts before that she scored (also from the front) in the same top grade she competes in today, and a fourth win in the last two months awaits.

Knockduff Declan (Trap 4) - 20.06 Romford 

The 20.06 at Romford can go the way of Knockduff Declan. The black has made a good impression since coming over from Ireland and has won twice over course and distance in A1 grade in recent races by wide margins. His search for a first Open win has been thwarted by trouble at the first bend, but he looks set to dominate from an early stage here and will be difficult to beat if keeping out of trouble.

Chilli Chocolate (Trap 3) - 20.38 Romford 

Paul Young runs the two market leaders in the 20.38 at Romford and preference, in what has turned into a five-dog race, is for Chilli Chocolate. The white should soon be clear of the rest if trapping as usual and three of his last four efforts would be good enough to win this Open contest.
