Best Bets: Wednesday 1 May

Zesty Lemon (Trap 1) - 14.04 Sunderland

ZESTY LEMON (Trap 1, 14.04) progressed steadily from a low base at Sunderland last year, successful as high as A2 level prior to her enforced break. Improving steadily in recent weeks post-season, she displayed her customary early dash before tiring off the final bend. Given a real chance by the grader, she won’t need to find much more on the clock to get seriously competitive in this company and we’re hopeful she can produce a bold showing on the rails.

Flyhigh Sophie (Trap 1) - 20.14 Perry Barr

We head over to Perry Barr at 20.14 were FLYHIGH SOPHIE (Trap 1) looks the one to side with. Not ideally suited to sprinting, she was a good winner on her four-bend debut two starts back. Not seen to anything like best effect when runner-up latest, that was still an effort containing a good deal of promise and with potential for better still, we’re hopeful she can prove too strong for some more exposed rivals.

Private Bucks (Trap 1) - 21.51 Romford

Following a spell on the side-lines, PRIVATE BUCKS (Trap 1, 21.51) has returned in good form over Romford’s 400m circuit, posting her best effort on the clock since the turn of the year when runner-up 11 days ago. With fitness improving all the time and the fact she remains relatively unexposed, there’s a good chance she can improve a little more on final time and with a clear run, the daughter of Burgess Bucks looks a lead player this evening.
