Best Bets: Sunday 12 May

Decoy Chippy (Trap 2) - 12.54 Harlow

There are a couple of good bets on Harlow’s early card, with DECOY CHIPPY (T2) hopefully getting us off to a flyer in the A5 contest at 12.54. She didn’t do a lot wrong when runner-up in this grade following a modest exit last week and is capable of turning in a much better position against this opposition. She’s certainly the one to beat on the clock.

Pinky Blinker (Trap 5) - 13.57 Harlow

All the early pace in the concluding A6 on the card (13.57) is on the outside, with PINKY BLINKER (T5) and Curly Chap expected to lock horns. The latter may well win the tussle to the first bend, but that sprinter is anything but a strong stayer over the 415m trip, so Pinky Blinker can slot in before outstaying that rival.

Ballymac Dawnrun (Trap 2) - 18.04 Poole

Poole’s PRGTV meeting starts off with a run-of-the-mill A8 contest ay 18.04, but a wager can still be found in the shape of BALLYMAC DAWNRUN (T2). He holds no secrets from the grader nowadays, but if our first-bend sectional forecasts are any guide, he really should be a couple of lengths clear at the first bend, and that could prove decisive round this tight circuit.
