Today’s Horse Racing Tip

This is a good open contest to start the day of racing tips, as there are a few with claims here.

FIDUX and HAUL AWAY are both previous course and distance winners who warrant some respect.

Fidux picked up a win 56 days ago, powering his way clear of the pack to get the score.

Haul Away has won two of three runs this season. The latest of those was off of a higher mark over the hurdles here at Worcester last week.

That just sends preference his way as our 4/1 horse racing tip* (betting odds recorded 19:37 GMT on 17th August 2021 at William Hill)

EXELERATOR EXPRESS took a superb second place in the Summer Plate at Market a month ago and is interesting at the same mark.

Another in great shape at the moment is 10-year-old gelding PINK EYED PEDRO, who has placed in the Summer Plate and taken a runner up spot in the Topham at Aintree.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

BATHIVA looks like being a big player here at a quote of 15/8 in horse racing* (betting odds recorded 19:37 GMT on 17th August 2021 at William Hill)

There was a victory for him at Uttoxeter on his latest run, which was 52 days ago. He is thriving for his new yard having also scored at Huntington for them.

LONGHOUSE SALE was third to Bathiva at Uttoxeter but may get close to turning the tables. He takes on a 7lb claimer to give him a stronger shout against this rival.

LEAPAWAY is another top player in this field. He is well handicapped and has course form, winning on both previous runs here.

The latest was at C&D three weeks ago, helped out there massively by a strong pace. That’s not guaranteed here and he gets the cheekpieces back on.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

We stick with GOOBINATOR who is the 7/4 favourite* (betting odds recorded 19:37 GMT on 17th August 2021 at William Hill)

He came up 4lb for his win at York 39 days ago. That was a career-best effort for him and the victory has been franked as well.

There should be a lot more still to come from him. ECLIPSE DE LUNAR looks to be a big threat to the favourite.

He collected a win at Catterick two weeks ago, and he now should be able to find more and push on.

The cheekpieces go on for RAYMOND at the first time of asking.

He has taken three wins in his nine runs this year and was in decent shape at Musselburgh 12 days ago, taking a fourth-place finish.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

ASTROGEM may be chanced in horse racing tips at a quote for 5/1* (betting odds recorded 19:37 GMT on 17th August 2021 at William Hill).

She was in terrific form on her reappearance, taking back to back wins and the latest of those victories was at Yarmouth in May.

Astrogem needs a little bounce back after finishing last of four at Newmarket in a handicap effort 25 days ago. This is not beyond her.

CASSY O scored a Thirsk just over two weeks ago. He pushed himself to the front with a furlong to go and controlled things from there. Another bold effort is fully expected from him.

OLD NEWS picked up a course and distance in July and comes up 3lb from that.

That saw him continue on in very consistent form. Old News has now been in the top two in each of his last three runs.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

GIUSEPPE CASSIOLI looks to be the way to go in this contest as he arrives at Kempton Wednesday in winning form.

That win was recorded at Wolverhampton very well 9 days ago. He gets handed a 5lb penalty and that recent score happened on just his second run for his new yard.

Giuseppe is a quote of 7/2 to land the score* (betting odds recorded 19:37 GMT on 17th August 2021 at William Hill)

COLONEL FAULKNER is a threat without question. There has been a 3lb rise in the weights for him to deal with after scoring at Lingfield last month.

He got himself up well at the finish in that one and he looks very well positioned in the weights to make a decent challenge.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

Another of our selections for horse racing tips on Wednesday is ARAMIS GREY.

She is down 1lb from her last run and is a quote of 4/1* (betting odds recorded 19:37 GMT on 17th August 2021 at William Hill)

She is a former course and distance winner who has enjoyed a very solid season.

Things didn’t pan out for her at Salisbury 25 days ago, but she still rates a threat in this company.

There have been two wins from six runs this season by Aramis Grey and she is not to be taken lightly.

SAYIFYOUWILL is a course and distance winner.

She will likely give a very good account of herself as she looks to improve from a fourth at Empson three weeks ago.

Sayifyouwill had been on a career-high mark in that one and it was too much.

CRYSTAL CASQUE comes down in class and could feature in the contest. She was at course and distance last week, not having a great run.

But she has dipped below her last winning mark and rates a threat.

Today’s Horse Racing Tip

COUNTESSA is the one that just gets the nod in this contest at a quote of 10/3* (betting odds recorded 19:37 GMT on 17th August 2021 at William Hill)

She picked up a win at Lingfield 18 days ago and kept on very well in that contest.

That was a very encouraging run of improvement for her and comes up 4lb and should have a big say.

With Hollie Doyle booked, DOLPHIN has a big shout as well.

She stepped in a handicap for the first time at Leicester on her latest run. She didn’t handle it as well as expected but is likely to go better.

The final selection for the shortlist is going to be SUPER PROUD who got off the mark two weeks ago.

That at Yarmouth, a chance of tactics sharpening her up well and she dominated there.
