Wednesday Horse Racing Tips from Andy Holding

TOOLATETONEGOTIATE (best price 14-1) could never land a meaningful blow on debut at Bath but she did more than enough in the latter stages to offer up plenty of hope for the future and providing she can exit the stalls a little cleaner on this occasion, Daisy Hitchen’s filly can easily outrun her odds. 

Soon caught on heels at the Somerset venue, the daughter of Havana Grey still had more in front than behind at halfway, but to her great credit, she came home to good effect down the outside of the track to eventually finish a respectable third and considering the speed figure and subsequent form of the front pair, her performance deserves marking up. 

Based on that display, an extra furlong won’t go amiss and she looks well worth a small interest to build on her initial promise.

As there’s no all-weather from on go on here, a tricky one to decipher, but MASTER BUILDER (best price 15-2) could end up being the solution on account of this slow surface suiting him more than most. 

Extremely promising on his debut at Windsor, David Menuisier’s gelding was nicely supported to go one place better at Salisbury next time and despite the late attentions of the strong-finishing Subsequent, he had enough left in the locker to repel the challenge. 

Posting a smart speed figure at the Wiltshire venue, it’s been good to see both the runner-up and third boost the form since and with the potential of more to come now racing over further, the son of Mastercraftsman can continue his progression. 

A tight knit fillies affair with many holding plausible claims but one of the most solid options based on the figures appears to be DANCING TANGO (best price 4-1) and she deserves to be played accordingly. 

Rising through the ranks from humble beginnings here last season, Joseph O’Brien’s inmate finally got her day in the sun at pattern level when capturing a listed prize at Naas towards the backend of last season and her two runs so far this term strongly suggests she’s not far away from striking again. 

In need of the run first time out at Gowran, she looked a good deal sharper at Limerick last time out and it was only the tenacious nature of the classy Harbour Wind that prevented her from adding to her tally. The way she kept on in the latter stages at the Greenmount Park venue she should have no problem staying beyond 1m4f and the time figure that day, along with a whole host previously, point towards her running her race more than most. 

VERHOYEN (best price 13-2) can be his own worst enemy, sometimes setting too fast for his own good, but providing his natural aggression can be more controlled on this occasion, the nine-year-old can make a bold bid to lead it out from the front. 

Ridden in usual trail blazing fashion at The Curragh last time out, Michael Grassick’s gelding was still clinging on for dear life at the furlong pole but given the fractions he set through the first half a mile, it was inevitable he was going to get picked off late on and he eventually had to settle for a minor berth.

That said, his speed figure was right up there with the best he has ever achieved and now racing back over a more suitable track and trip, the son of Piccolo can give it another good lash from the front.
