UK Horse Racing Tips: Redcar

Wichahpi has to be respected having got off the mark at Thirsk last week, but a 6lb penalty will make life tougher for her. With that in mind, preference is for MECCA'S DUCHESS, who was a close second on the same card nine days ago and she can race off the same mark here. Miss Woo Woo and Be Here Now are others who are capable of going very well in an open event.
Prediction : 1st Meccas Duchess 2nd Wichahpi 3rd Miss Woo Woo

AMAYRETTO only just failed to get up when a head second over 7f at Newcastle last week and the step up in trip can help her to go one better off the same mark here. Goldmine Girl bounced back to form when fourth at Thirsk recently but that was over 6f and this extra distance is a slight concern, while Budding Poet completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Amayretto 2nd Goldmine Girl 3rd Budding Poet

HIGHLAND SPRING has shown promise in both previous starts and, given how well those races have worked out subsequently, it would be no surprise to see the son of Dubawi get off the mark here. Alacrity is arguably the pick of the newcomers being a half-sister to the Group 1-placed Albaflora, although Involvement and Modern Times were both pricey purchases and they cannot be discounted. Game Management took a big step forward when runner-up at Thirsk on his second start, but Kevin Ryan's colt faces an even tougher test here.
Prediction : 1st Highland Spring 2nd Alacrity 3rd Modern Times

Having been turned over at odds of 1/25 in a match race at Ripon 22 days ago, DOOM isn't one for maximum faith. However, her rating of 82 sets the bar higher than most of the opposition have so far encountered and she is given the chance to atone for that shock defeat. Rising Bay is the obvious danger based on the official ratings, although Bustaam (third) may be able to turn around recent Carlisle form with Hills Of Gold (second), and he can also have a big say.
Prediction : 1st Doom 2nd Rising Bay 3rd Bustaam

HIGHWAYGREY, who runs off 5lb lower than his last winning mark, seems worth chancing now he has adapted to racing in cheekpieces. Although he finished fifth of six over C&D eight days ago, he wasn't beaten far and, nudged down 1lb, his case for a return to form is only enhanced. Coincidentally, Havana Party chased home the selection in second the last time he was successful and, given that one's resurgent form, a repeat of that feat is feasible. Casilli and Strawman are others of note.
Prediction : 1st Highwaygrey 2nd Havana Party 3rd Casilli

STONE OF DESTINY (second) had Lotus Rose (third) behind when putting in a very pleasing display to only go down by a neck over an extended 5f at Doncaster last time and the eight-year-old is able to contend off the same mark. Therefore, he could prove very hard to beat. Albegone justified his market support at Catterick, which made it two out of his last three, and he makes plenty of appeal in his current mood. Straits Of Moyle completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Stone Of Destiny 2nd Albegone 3rd Straits Of Moyle

Homer Stokes is seeking the hat-trick after recording a C&D double at Southwell recently and he is hard to ignore off a 4lb higher mark. However, the vote goes to KALGANOV, who was only denied by a short head at Ayr last week and he can compete off the same mark, which should put him bang there once again. Biplane filled the runner-up spot in the Leger Legends race at Doncaster last time and she is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Kalganov 2nd Homer Stokes 3rd Biplane
