Andrew Mount's Racing Tips 09.04.2024

Andrew heads to Thirsk’s Flat turf meeting for his two recommended bets/trades on Tuesday, April 9th.
THIRSK 2.15
ATHERSTONE WARRIOR got no cover from the headwind when fourth in the Brocklesby under a prominent ride (‘prominent against near rail, hung left from 2f out’ according to the Racing Post), doing really well to finish less than two lengths behind Zminiature. The winner (‘dwelt start, towards rear’), runner-up (‘slowly away, in rear’), third (‘towards rear’) and fifth (‘towards rear’) all came from well off the pace and it was a huge effort in the circumstances. The Alice Haynes-trained colt can be backed to gain compensation in this 5f maiden. Buy in the Sporting Index 50-25-10 market or take a fixed odds price.
Recommendation: Back ATHERSTONE WARRIOR in Thirsk 2.15
THIRSK 4.15
OSO RAPIDO has yet to win before mid-July and is likely to need his reappearance run in this 5f handicap. His three seasonal debut efforts for his current yard have produced a 9-1 last of eight, 11-1 fifth of 11 and a 9-2 ninth of ten. Sell in the Sporting Index 50-30-20-10 market. SHOWALONG, whose record on his second start of the season reads 1121 (3-4) with the defeat by just half a length when a 14-1 shot, looks the obvious play for fixed odds punters.
Recommendation: Oppose OSO RAPIDO in Thirsk 4.15
Please note that the picks recommended in this blog post are based on past performance and should not be considered a guarantee for future winning outcomes, and it is important to remember that spread betting carries a high level of risk to your capital and can result in losses larger than your initial stake/deposit.
