Saturday best bets by Joe Norris from Get Your Tips Out.
15:20 Ascot
GYTO Notebook Double for Saturday 10th August
I was really impressed with that C&D win from JARRAAF last month. He had been coming to the boil in two starts before that but looked to relish the drop back to 6f to win impressively last time. He had Fresh back in second who is a very decent yardstick especially at Ascot. The handicapper has understandably reacted raising him 8lb but he is completely unexposed and with further progress to come he looks a decent bet to follow up against these.
Daring Legend landed back to back wins at Newbury and Yarmouth and then wasn’t disgraced going down narrowly into third at Doncaster last time. He is probably better over 7f but if they go hard he could be suited by this test and looks the danger.
16:15 Newmarket
Newmarket 4.15 Mount Teide (9/4)
I know it was a bit disappointing at the time to see MOUNT TEIDE beaten at Sandown but in hindsight it really wasn’t a bad run. He went down just 2 lengths at the line and probably just set it up for those tracking the pace through. The race has already produced 3 winners in Jarraaf, Grand Karat and Palmar Bay so is working out well and if he improves for the step up to a mile he should have a great chance to get himself back in the winners enclosure.
Zain Blue is a decent yardstick and he was back in the winners enclosure at Ascot last month so if in that sort of form again looks the one to give the selection most to think about. Local Hero blew out somewhat at Newcastle but if bouncing back is another to note.
