Best Bets: Sunday 22 August

FEORA JOHN (Trap 1) - 18:09 Central Park

FEORA JOHN remains a relative youngster as an October 19’ whelp, dispelling a luckless run on his penultimate start when posting a career-best display to land a top grade contest five days ago. A strong running sort, that effort signalled he’s ready for a step up in to open class and with a similar slick break on the fence, we’re hopeful he can make every post a winning one in a race lacking depth.

WEDDING CAKE (Trap 5) - 18:28 Central Park

Top grade sprint action at 18:28 and a race in which we’re hopeful WEDDING CAKE can come out on top. A classy sort on her day, she’s showed signs she’s coming to the boil following a spell on the side-lines, again finding only one too good in this company five days ago. Her back-class gives her excellent claims in tonight’s field and we’re expecting Matt Dartnall’s bitch to turn handy and assert off the second bend for success.

BORNA HAKA (Trap 2) - 19:56 Central Park

The Central Park Maiden or Winner of One takes place at 19:56 with Tony Collett responsible for no less than five of the finalists and it may be his BORNA HAKA who emerges victorious. A low-mileage son of Kinloch Brae, he has quickly made his mark over four bends, supplementing his A1 success two weeks ago with a facile victory in his respective heat of this competition seven days ago. Far from reliant on an early lead, he may have to bide his time with kennel-mate Lostrigg Louie on his inner but he can stalk that rival and announce his presence on proceedings from the three-quarter point.
