Best Bets: Wednesday 16 October

PINEWOOD SLIM (Trap 2) - 13:49 Central Park

PINEWOOD SLIM doesn’t make life easy for himself with moderate exits from the boxes yet he finishes with a fair old rattle when granted a clear run. Recent exploits have been marred by trouble-in-running and this is a race lacking depth so, granted better luck it would come as no surprise to see him make more of an impact.

JAXLEG PAT (Trap 5) - 14:47 Belle Vue

JAXLEG PAT has been slow to get the hang of things in recent weeks yet, despite not getting a clear shot at things, he was impressive enough in posting a career-best effort to land an A8 seven days ago. Bev Heaton’s charge rates the type to improve further now she’s up-and-running and marginal improvement can see the daughter of Vulturi double her career tally.

JAYMS TREACLE (Trap 4) - 15:47 Belle Vue

JAYMS TREACLE brings a mixed recent record into this race, but in her defence she has been faced with some stern assignments, particularly in the context of the low grade. However, the grader’s mercy has been noted this afternoon and the daughter of Tyrur Big Mike has obvious claims of blazing the trail out in front, so we’re hopeful she can make every post a winning one.
