Newsboy reckons his best bet of the day, Summertime Blues, will be on-song at Brighton in the 2.45, and he also rates The Good Biscuit at Pontefract (5.08)
SUMMERTIME BLUES (2.45, Nap) can give punters plenty to smile about in the 6f Download The Star Sports App Handicap at Brighton today.
The three-year-old son of Pinatabu is a late developer, making his debut at Chelmsford City in May.
He finished tenth of 15 that day in a very competitive maiden over a mile, with the victor, Arabian Story, winning the Britannia Stakes at Royal Ascot on his next run.
Archie Watson then sent him to Doncaster, where he again finished down the field, this time to Remmooz, who finished fourth in the Jersey Stakes at the royal meeting.
Following another disappointing effort when dropped in grade at Ffos Las, he improved considerably on his handicap debut at Windsor 11 days ago, when a length-and-a-quarter second to Pure Artistry over today’s trip.
Wearing cheekpieces today – and with Hollie Doyle on board – the gelding has a great chance to score a first win.
At Pontefract over 6f, THE GOOD BISCUIT (5.08, nb) took advantage of a drop in the weights for a course and distance success 19 days ago, despite a troubled passage en route.
The Ruth Carr-trained four-year-old has been given a 4lb rise for that success, but with the yard in great form, he can follow up.
