Best Bets: Monday 12 July

Black Doody (Trap 3) - 14.36 Sheffield 

BLACK DOODY (Trap 3, 14.36) hasn’t tasted success since landing back-to-back A8 contests in April, but there have been some decent efforts subsequently, keeping on for third on the back of a poor break last time. The son of Ballymac Best is better than that effort implies and in a basement grade contest distinctly lacking depth, he’s fancied to lead on the inside and get back to winning ways.

Salacres Greegsy (Trap 5) - 18:26 Nottingham

Over at Nottingham, SALACRES GREEGSY (Trap 5, 18.26) has been in good order of late, rattling off victories in A3/2 company last month. His latest runners-up effort stands up to close scrutiny in this line up and we’re hopeful Peter Harnden’s charge can again break swiftly and hold off the challengers late on.

Risky Rocco (Trap 3) - 21:11 Nottingham

RISKY ROCCO (Trap 3, 21.11) could hardly be described as a prolific winner, but he ran his best race for some time when a close up third in this grade 2 starts back. His latest effort over 480 metres is easily overlooked (met with several trouble spots), and tonight’s affair is far from a strong contest, so with a good break, the son of Lenson Panda is fancied to come out on top.
