Best Bets: Thursday 15 June

HEADFORD HARRY (Trap 5) - 15:54 Swindon

The Blunsdon Sprint comes up at 15:54 and, with an impressive CV already, HEADFORD HARRY looks to hold sound claims of adding another to his tally. Kevin Hutton’s charge has met with defeat on each of his last three starts, but that shouldn’t detract from what have been solid efforts and, in a race arguably lacking the same amount of depth, he can trap best and come out on top.

BALLYMAC ZEELA (Trap 1) - 16:14 Swindon

Swindon’s 16:14 features our next selection and, returned to home soil, BALLYMAC ZEELA is fancied to resume winning ways. A very game sort when on the bunny, she boasts an impressive strike rate around here and, having not been seen to best effect on her latest start at Oxford, she’s fancied to be front rank from lid rise on the rails and prove too strong for today’s opposition.

ACKERMAN (Trap 2) - 16:34 Swindon

ACKERMAN has received some bumpy rides of late, inconsistency at the boxes a major contributor towards that, but there’s no doubting he remains a pup of considerable merit, as he proved when bolting up over C&D three starts ago. Boasting a fine blend of early speed and stamina, he can turn handy behind likely pace-setter Kilara Phantom (Trap 3) and power home from the three-quarter point to regain the winning thread in the 16:34 contest.
