Best Bets: Thursday 5 October

Lola Mendoza (Trap 1) - 12:43 Sheffield

A winner in this class of A5 in August, Lola Mendoza (T1) has essentially proved a model of consistency in defeat subsequently and was crowded at a crucial stage when going down by three-quarters of a length five days ago. An excellent effort on the clock, that marked her down as of interest in this grade and she can trap fast on the rails and make a bold front-running bid.

Hadtobe Silver (Trap 1) - 17:22 Sunderland

Following an encouraging comeback effort four days ago, Hadtobe Silver (T1) is fancied to come out on top. Yvonne Bell’s contender found only a low-mileage sort too strong on her latest run and, in a race lacking depth this afternoon, she can prove too good for these rivals.

Swift Ukraine (Trap 6) - 18:09 Hove

Swift Ukraine (T6) can hopefully regain the winning thread on the back of encouraging efforts in recent weeks. The son of Droopys Sydney met trouble in running last time but finished off to very good effect. He is operating as the sole wide seed here which looks a plus and he can avoid potential scrimmaging inside and deservedly resume winning ways.
