Best Bets: Thursday 10 September

FANCY TREND (Trap 4) - 18:41 Perry Barr

Perry Barr’s evening RPGTV meeting is the destination for all three bets, with FANCY TREND an intriguing runner in this A2 contest. An Open-class winner at Nottingham back in March, it’s taken a while for her return to the track post-season. A last-placed finish on reappearance wasn’t as bad a display at it sounds, and sure to strip fitter, there’s definite scope for her in this grade of race.

DRAHBEG DART (Trap 6) - 19:16 Perry Barr

This is a tightly-knit A1 contest with no stand out performer on our ratings, but the make-up of the race looks ideal for wide seed DRAHBEG DART. An all-the-way winner of an A2 on her penultimate start, Drahbeg Dart gave a very good account of herself in this grade last week, and she may well be able to build up a commanding early lead in this.

TAKEMYHAND (Trap 3) - 19:34 Perry Barr

TAKEMYHAND always looked a staying prospect over the 470m Belle Vue circuit and she’s made a smooth transition to six bends at Perry Barr of late. In fact in finishing runner-up on her last three outings, she’s been beaten less than a length combined, so to say she’s been knocking on the door would be an understatement.
