Andrew Mount's Racing Tips 17.07.24

Andrew heads to the Flat action at Bath and Ffos Las for his three recommended bets/trades on Wednesday, July 17th. 

BATH 3.30

Heather Main’s ASH WEDNESDAY hinted at better to come when an 80-1 fifth in a Windsor maiden on his second start last term and attracted some market interest on his handicap debut in a 6f turf contest at Lingfield in late May. The three-year-old grey was caught wide from the worst of the draw but stayed in contention until the latter stages, only weakening into a four-length seventh in the last half furlong. That was most encouraging and, with his yard showing signs of an upturn after a quiet spell, he looks worthy of support. Buy in the Sporting Index 50-30-20-10 market or take a fixed odds price.

Recommendation: Back ASH WEDNESDAY in Bath 3.30

BATH 4.00

PRINCESS NAOMI has lost 12 in a row since her course and distance success last April, but the first-time blinkers could spark Rod Millman’s filly back to life. Her in-form handler has a fine record when using this headgear on a filly or mare, scoring with ten of the 43 qualifiers in the past 15 years for a profit of £75.23 to a £1 level stake at SP. Buy in the Sporting Index 50-30-20-10 market or take a fixed odds price.

Recommendation: Back PRINCESS NAOMI in Bath 3.30

FFOS LAS 7.00

Juvenile newcomers by sire Starspangledbanner have a good record on turf, including 23 wins from 159 runners since the beginning of 2021 for a profit of £45.75. Archie Watson saddles plenty of winning newcomers and his ZAYER, a mover in the overnight betting, looks set to go well under Hollie Doyle. Buy in the Sporting Index 50-25-10 market or take a fixed odds price.

Recommendation: Back ZAYER in Ffos Las 7.00
