Best Bets: Saturday 4 May

Paulines Jaguar (Trap 6) - 19:19 Sheffield

We kick off this evening’s smartplays with a graded sprint contest at Sheffield and Paulines Jaguar (Trap 6, 19.19) is fancied to get us off to a flyer. The balance of his recent form stands up to the closest scrutiny in this field and, having found only one too good last time, with a clear passage is fancied to come out on top.

Garryglass Rover (Trap 3) - 19:34 Shawfield

Garryglass Rover (Trap 3, 19.34) was an early casualty in this year’s Scottish Derby, yet he’s classy operator when putting it all together and is fancied to make amends dropped down to the 300-metre distance. He impressed with a couple of slick C&D trials back in March and provided he’s alert at lid rise, is fancied to have too many guns for this evening’s rivals.

Velvet Juliet (Trap 4) - 20:26 Shawfield

Velvet Juliet (Trap 4, 20.26) impressed with her exploits on the clock in trials at Newcastle and, in truth undoubtedly emerged with plenty of credit in finishing runner-up on her first competitive start when runner-up on her C&D debut 7 days ago. It’s safe to assume the daughter of Head Bound will come forward for that run and with her early pace a useful asset, she may well prove tough to peg back if trapping slickly again.
