Best Bets: Sunday 11 August

MELODYS JACK (Trap 5) in the 18:27 at Central Park

MELODYS JACK is going through a really good spell at present and the local is fancied to continue the good work when he lines up Central Park Sprint. A back-to-back C&D winner in July, the son of Tullymurry Act ran a cracker to finish second in a fast time at Doncaster on his latest start and in a race lacking a great deal of depth this evening, he rates a confident selection.

FOREST CANDY (Trap 3) in the 19:03 at Central Park

An interesting Novice Stayers event takes place at 19:03 and we’re hopeful FOREST CANDY can prove strongest. Derek Knight’s charge has often shaped as though a test of stamina would suit ideally and has highlighted her well-being of late with strong finishing exploits in graded company at Hove. Her effectiveness at this venue is already proven and given the similar demands of this course (suits strong running types) we’re hopeful the daughter of Ballymac Vic can turn handy, unscathed and be firmly in the mix at the business end.

SKIP MAYO (Trap 6) in the 19:53 at Central Park

SKIP MAYO seemingly caused a shock when landing the Guys & Dolls Final at Crayford on her penultimate start, yet she proved that no fluke when comfortably scoring over 480 metres here seven days ago. In truth, this shorter trip of 450 metres arguably suits her better and the percentage call is to side with her once more to complete the hat-trick.
