Today’s Horse Racing Tip

There are a lot of claims running through this one. That includes the unexposed ZUHAIR who makes his handicap debut here.

STAR SHIELD is probably going to be another big player in this one and so does URBAN WAR who benefits from having Hollie Doyle booked.

Another with some reasonable claims is ARQOOB who takes a drop in grade and could be in a very good position to strike.

But our horse racing tip in this open contest is the reliable FAST MEDICINE. It has been a top-two finishes from him in each of his last four runs.

There was one victory in that sequence, which happened on his penultimate run at Chelmsford City in June.

As a 5/1 shot, it’s the consistency that just sends us his way* (betting odds recorded 17:27 GMT on August 16th 2021 at Bet365).

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

We pull back to a smaller field and BOOGIE TIME looks like a solid horse racing tip for the day at 7/4* (betting odds recorded 17:27 GMT on August 16th 2021 at Bet365).

He is sitting on a hattrick after getting a score two weeks ago. That was in a field of five at Nottingham in which he showed a great fighting attitude to stick in there.

The assessor has given Boogie Time an extra 4lb to work with on his return. But the hattrick bid is well within his range.

The biggest threat is likely to be DULLA BHATTI who put together a good run at Catterick. It was a second-place finish for him there.

That form has been franked somewhat with the first and third from that race both having gone on to win since.

There’s a similar story for HELLO ZABEEL who makes a handicap debut.

His second place at course and distance on his latest was franked by splitting a pair who have gone on to win since.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

The unexposed RICH DREAM is of big interest as an 11/2 shot in horse racing betting on Tuesday* (betting odds recorded 17:27 GMT on August 16th 2021 at Bet365).

He steps into handicapping on a decent opening mark and looks like an exciting prospect.

His last run saw him take second place at Wolverhampton 127 days ago. Place claims are there for sure.

There’s a deep field in play here for racing and LEGENDARY DAY is expected to be right there. He missed out on a hattrick chance on his latest run.

But regardless of that, he went well to take third in a field of 14 in a Newmarket handicap. Given that he returns at the same mark, he is a big player.

But our racing tip is going to be PLATINUMCARD who has won three of his last four runs. In that sequence was a score at course and distance.

Platinumcard had plenty in hand when scoring at Ayr 8 days ago and just gets the nod with a 5lb penalty at 10/3* (betting odds recorded 17:27 GMT on August 16th 2021 at Bet365).

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

Who gets off the mark in this one? LINE OF DESCENT gets the nod as the 4/6 odds-on favourite in horse racing betting* (betting odds recorded 17:27 GMT on August 16th 2021 at Bet365).

He has gone well in defeat in all three racetrack appearances. That’s been some handy form, which just puts him ahead of the rest of the pack.

Line Of Descent is probably not going to be too far away from getting off the mark on Tuesday in this contest.

The other with a similar form is FANTASISING who has collected a runner-up spot in all three racetrack appearances. We expect her to bring solid place claims.

The final selection for the shortlist will be KEEP THE FAITH who has had two runs. He will be banking on finding some further improvement to get himself in the frame.

But if he finds that then Keep The Faith could well pose a threat.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

This looks like being a decent contest here. POET’S MAGIC has had a very good progressive season and has put some victories on the board.

The latest win that Poet’s Magic took was in July at Ayr. There was a good runner up spot from her on her latest, which was 19 days ago in a fillies’ handicap at Epsom.

There is a good 12/1 interest on NATCHEZ TRACE for this contest* (betting odds recorded 17:27 GMT on August 16th 2021 at Bet365).

It was a course and distance success for him on his penultimate run in July. He was well below that 16 days ago as he was massively unsettled at the start.

CHOOKIE DUNEDIN has to enter calculations in this contest on Tuesday. There was a good third-place finish for him in a field of 10 during a Haydock handicap on his latest run.

That was 10 days ago and it was a good performance that puts him in the frame.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

SOUND OF IONA gets the nod as the 7/1 pick for this contest* (betting odds recorded 17:27 GMT on August 16th 2021 at Bet365).

On her latest run, she was at Musselburgh collecting a fourth-place finish. There was a strong finish from her in that one, after having run into some traffic that hampered her.

Sound Of Iona is down in grade in this one and she is also now a big 8lb down from her last winning mark. That has to put her right in the mix on this trip.

ROSE BANDIT is in excellent form at the moment and has won three of her last five races. There has been a course and distance success under her belt.

Rose Bandit had to dig very deep to pull out a win at Ayr 10 days ago. She’s likely to be back in the thick of things.

QUANAH is a former course and distance winner and is 4lb down from that victory that was recorded last summer.

All four career wins for Quanah have been handled by Danny Tudhope who is back in the saddle.
