Best Bets: Monday 12 August

CHOSEN DESTINY (Trap 3) in the 14:08 at Sheffield

CHOSEN DESTINY is on a losing run stretching back to mid-July, yet in truth she has met with sterner assignments than she faces on this occasion and an improved showing can be expected. Trouble-in-running has hindered her of late and it will come as no surprise to see her capitalise on the grader’s mercy this afternoon.

CALZAGHE SONIC (Trap 2) in the 19:36 at Nottingham

CALZAGHE SONIC is yet to open his account, yet there is no doubt he is a youngster with above-average potential. A runner-up over C&D three starts ago, that defeat came at the hands of the formidable Trickys Dumbo. Subsequent efforts have been solid and one of his better exits from the boxes can see him boss matters here.

PINKYPONK (Trap 3) in the 20:38 at Doncaster

Over at Doncaster, PINKYPONK and Russanda Ranger are fancied to battle out their B7 contest at 20:38, with the former narrowly preferred. A pair of youngsters, entitled to do better, the former has the benefit of greater experience, and one of her better breaks should see her tough to contain.
