Best Bets: Wednesday 20 March

Target Gear (Trap 6) in the 14:47 at Belle Vue

Target Gear looks to have very solid claims in the 14:47 at Belle Vue. The stripes picks himself on recent form and looks set for a solo out wide being the only seeded runner in the line-up. One of the most consistent dogs at the Manchester circuit having only twice finished out of the front three since November, Target Gear looks to have most to fear from Marufos Boy (Trap 3).

Williebeastar (Trap 2) in the 15:11 at Romford

The 15:11 at Romford this afternoon looks an opportunity for Williebeastar. The youngster isn’t known for starting quickly but has good early pace and has found himself in front at the second bend in half his races this year. In that period, he has already won five times in A1 company and this contest looks no harder than the one he won last time.

Young Castle (Trap 5) in the 16:29 at Romford

Young Castle looks the answer to the S1 contest at 16:29. Until his latest start, Paul Young’s bitch has been contesting Open races since December with limited success, but the drop back into graded company last time nearly brought success and she looks to have a better make up here. With two slower starters on her inside, she should soon be near the head of affairs and won’t lack for stamina given she has won over 750m.
