Expert Steve Mullington gives his daily racing tips, including a NAP, NB and a Longshot. Scroll down now to find out horse racing tips Thursday 7th July at Newmarket...
Today's NAP (Best Bet)
1.50 Newmarket – Masekela
Masekela was runner-up in the Listed Feilden Stakes on reappearance and then showed improved form for the step up to 1m4f in the Derby, outrunning his huge odds.
He immediately looked one for the Bahrain Trophy on the back of that performance and duly takes his place in the line up today.
Andrew Balding’s youngster is once again partnered by Andrea Atzeni and supporters of the El Kabier-gelding should get a decent price in our horse racing online bets market if they punt early enough on the day.
Today's NB (Next Best)
2.25 Newmarket – Persian Force
Richard Hannon’s Persian Force has an outstanding chance of emulating his sire Mehmas by putting his narrow Royal Ascot defeat in the Coventry Stakes to bed and capturing this Group 2 July Stakes.
The Amo Racing owned-two year was beaten for the first time at the Royal meeting when finishing runner-up to Bradsell, but that form still looks very strong.
A reproduction of his debut run at Doncaster up Newmarket’s July Course incline would see him very hard to peg back under ace jockey Rossa Ryan.
Of the others Little Big Bear has to be on any sports betting shortlist for Aidan O'Brien and Ryan Moore.
Today's Longshot
3.00 Newmarket – Anadora
The three-year-old filly Anadora has been in fine fettle for the Kevin Ryan stable so far this season and can make her presence felt in this six furlong Heritage Handicap.
Already a winner and a runner-up on the other Newmarket course, Anadora finished towards the rear of the field last time out at Ayr but she was only a handful of lengths away from the overall winner.
Shane Grey takes the ride and at 16/1 in our betting market, she looks like great each-way value off her handicap mark of 8st 6lbs.
Dangers: Khanjar and Samburu.
