Best Bets: Thursday 20 June

Billys Rocket (Trap 1) - 13:49 Central Park

BILLYS ROCKET (Trap 1, 13.49) usually plies his trade at A1 level and whilst his performances at that level have been more miss than hit of late, the grader’s mercy may well see him back to form here. The final times’ he has recorded of late still stand up to scrutiny in this field and provided he can avoid any first bend scrimmaging, all looks set fair for a big run.

Leonas Reaction (Trap 6) - 18:39 Newcastle

LEONAS REACTION (Trap 6, 18.39) was well backed on her most recent outing and duly posted a career-best effort when readily landing an A1 contest 7 days ago. Overcoming an unpromising position early doors before coming away at the third bend. A winner of 2 of her 3 starts in handicaps previously she’s clearly in rude health and anything like a clear run can see her firmly in the mix.

Ashgrove Lisa (Trap 4) - 20:29 Newcastle

ASHGROVE LISA (Trap 4, 20.29) on face value was some way below her best on her latest outing, yet in mitigation that was her first competitive start following lameness and an improved showing is likely on the cards this evening. A smashing breaker, the daughter of Kinloch Brae should soon be blazing a trail at the head of affairs and she’s fancied to be seen in a much better light this evening.
