Andrew Mount's Racing Tips 29.07.24

Andrew bids to start the new week on a high with two recommended bets/trades ay Ayr and Wolverhampton on Monday, July 29th.

AYR 3.05

BIPLANE only went down by a short head in second place at Doncaster last time but that was over 7f and John Wainwright’s six-year-old hasn’t been the easiest to win with in recent seasons. He drops to 6f for the first time in his career and could be vulnerable, despite currently trading as the 2-1 favourite for this 0-65 Class 6 contest. Of greater interest is SOUND OF IONA, who took her record in the month of July to 721444111241 (5-12) when making all over course and distance a fortnight ago. Backed from 10-1 into 7-1, Jim Goldie’s eight-year-old kept on well to score by a comfortable length and she can shrug off the 5lb rise. Buy in the Sporting Index 50-25-10 market or take a fixed odds price.

Recommendation: Back SOUND OF IONA in Ayr 3.05

WOLVERHAMPTON DOUBLE DRAW

Wolverhampton’s Tapeta surface behaves very differently in summer when high temperatures can melt the wax binding that holds the track together, causing excessive kickback and giving front-runners a big advantage. The bias to low numbers tends to be even stronger in the warmer months and, in the last 30 days, backing stall 1 blind, regardless of trip, would have found ten winners from 37 bets for a profit of £24.75 to a £1 level stake at SP. Stall 2 has weighed in with another seven winners to make it 17 from 37 for the two lowest stalls and, with temperatures set to soar today, a sell of WOLVERHAMPTON DOUBLE DRAW with Sporting Index could pay dividends.

Recommendation: Sell DOUBLE DRAW at Wolverhampton

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.
