Best Bets: Sunday 2 June

BANSHA SCOLARI (Trap 5) in the 14:44 at Perry Barr

Perry Barr’s afternoon card is the destination for all three bets, with BANSHA SCOLARI hopefully getting us off to the perfect start in the A8 contest at 14:44. The selection scaled as high as A3 company last year and though he missed all of the winter and most of the spring, he should be pretty near to peak fitness now and it’s surely only a matter of time before he starts to climb the grades again.

LONGACRES BRAE (Trap 1) in the 15:04 at Perry Barr

Having won in this A4 class on his penultimate start, it’s slightly surprising to see LONGACRES BRAE back at this level quite so soon, particularly as a tardy start was always going to make life tough last week. The switch to the red jacket could be in his favour and he’s very much the one to beat on our ratings in the 15:04.

RAFAS WEE FRISKY (Trap 1) in the 15:22 at Perry Barr

RAFAS WEE FRISKY takes on a trio of unexposed rivals immediately on her outside, and there’s always the possibility that one will improve a lot. That said the selection is in good order at present and holds an advantage on the clock, so she’ll hopefully make her experience pay in the 15:22 affair.
