Today’s Horse Racing Tip

For this one A’SHAARI looks to be the pick at 2/1* (betting odds recorded 21:11 GMT on April 30th 2021 at William Hill).

This will only be the second racetrack appearance for her, but given the performance on her debut, she looks as if she can score in this one.

A’Shaari made a winning debut on the July Course last summer and looks ready for progress on this step up to higher grade action.

She is a sister to a former Group 1 winner and the extra trip looks to be well within her reach. This could be the start of very promising things for the young prospect.

The other big contender to watch is SEA KARAT who will likely be looking for a run in the Oaks this year. LADY HAYES looks the best option to be the one to fill out the places.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

This is a very competitive race and we are going to roll with LAVENDER’S BLUE as a 4/1 horse racing tip* (betting odds recorded 21:11 GMT on April 30th 2021 at William Hill).

Three times she has won on the firm ground already and arrives in hot form. Lavender’s Blue collected a Kempton victory on a 1m trip last month.

In that, she knocked over the re-opposing FOORAAT by a length and a half. So that keeps her well in the frame.

The fact that Lavender’s Blue is in winning form and match fit just gives her the edge in this fixture.

There should be another good effort given by Fooraat, and FREYJA also looks to be another one to keep an eye on in the market.

Distance: 1m

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

This is the big one. SANTA BARBARA is a strong favourite in the 1000 Guineas betting odds. But that is a very short price for a runner who is only making her second racetrack appearance.

So we do think that she is worth taking on in this one and we have a couple of primary picks with which to do that.

SACRED is a 6/1 option for the contest* (betting odds recorded 21:11 GMT on April 30th 2021 at William Hill).

She opened the season with an excellent run, taking success in the Group 3 Nell Gwyn.

That is big-time experience and while the mile distance is still a little in question for her, she got that with having faced all sorts of problems in the Nell Gwyn.

The other selection that is worth looking at is MOTHER EARTH. Aiden O’Brien’s challenger had a busy time as a juvenile and she was battling along very well in some top company during it as well.

She looks as if she can be a big player in 1000 Guineas betting odds on Sunday. Mother Earth was a Group 3 winner last summer.

Race Type: Class 3 maiden stakes
Age: 2 year olds only
Declared Runners: 5
Distance: 5f

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

We are down in levels here for this maiden for the juveniles. We are going to go with BERKSHIRE PHOENIX 3/1* (betting odds recorded 21:11 GMT on April 30th 2021 at William Hill).

We do like that he has already made his debut, which is more than the favourite SECRET STRENGTH has had.

Berkshire Phoenix was in action at Bath for his first appearance and it was a very awkward first half of the race.

But then Andrew Balding’s youngsters got things together and started to put things together to come back for a fourth-place finish.

With a little bit of that greenness eroded, he may be able to get the score in this one.

Echo Point 10/11
Annandale 15/8
Parachute 5/1

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

There has been a preference in the market for ECHO POINT in this handicap fixture, but at odds-on, we think that he is well worth taking on.

ANNANDALE brings some excellent seasonal form to the table and therefore we are going with him at 15/8* (betting odds recorded 21:11 GMT on April 30th 2021 at William Hill).

The son of Australia picked up a win on his latest effort, scoring at Nottingham 25 days ago.

That was a nice bit of progress shown by the colt after a solid Doncaster reappearance. Annandale’s form is bang in form at the moment as well, further boosting his chances.

Annandale is likely to take to the extra trip on offer here very well too. So we think that he is the way to go.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

The final horse racing tip of the day is going to be INVEIGLE at 7/2* (betting odds recorded 21:11 GMT on April 30th 2021 at William Hill).

Inveigle will be coming into the handicap action for the first time here and warrants some respect.

He finished off last season with a good effort to score in a novice at Chelmsford back in October. Since then he has been gelded during the break.

With that improved form on his last run, it suggests that he could have even more to offer this time around.

This is a good competitive fixture with threats coming from TAWLEED and SAYIFYOUWILL.
