Best Bets: Monday 21 June

BENJIES BEST (Trap 3) - 14:19 Sheffield

A dual winner in sprints, BENJIES BEST arrives winless over the 500-metre trip but that’s not for the want of trying, coming with a challenge latest only to find a resurgent stayer too strong late in the day. The grader has afforded the daughter of Scolari Me Daddy a chance to lead those on her inside in an A7 lacking depth and it would come as a disappointment where she unable to take advantage.

DROOPYS GROOVY (Trap 5) - 14:36 Sheffield

DROOPYS GROOVY boasts tremendous early pace as her most useful asset, typically going with plenty of zest on each of her last three starts. In truth, the testing 4-bend trip arguably stretches Barrie Draper’s charge but the grader’s mercy has been noted (boasts a record of 2-3 in this grade of A5) and she’s fancied to typically blast from the boxes and make every post a winning one.

SHADY FINN (Trap 2) - 16:23 Sheffield

Inconsistency at the boxes hasn’t helped the cause of SHADY FINN following his move to Sheffield, again caught box-napping drawn in red six days ago but noted finishing to very good effect, to be beaten only one and a quarter lengths in to third. In truth, the draw off the rail looks a good one, not least outside a veteran who has a tendency to break even slower and Jamie Smith’s charge can turn mid pack and announce his presence on proceedings from the three-quarter point.
