UK Horse Racing Tips: Redcar

Kodebreaker shaped as if this return to a mile will suit when finishing a staying-on third over 7f at Yarmouth last month and, eased 1lb, the son of Kodi Bear must be respected. That said, preference is for the hat-trick seeking CAPTAIN CORELLI. Julie Camacho's charge was last seen scoring with the minimum of fuss over a mile at Thirsk and the suspicion is that he may have gotten off lightly with just a 3lb rise. Tacitus is capable of hitting the frame in a race like this if on a going day.
Prediction : 1st Captain Corelli 2nd Kodebreaker 3rd Tacitus

This looks a good opportunity for the class-dropping DO IT NOW to regain the winning thread. The son of Bungle Inthejungle has been highly tried since finishing fifth in the Super Sprint over 5f at Newbury in July and, after showing up well for a long way before being outpointed in the closing stages in a Listed race at York, he looks the one to side with at this level. This step down to 5f promises to suit Rift Valley and she must enter calculations, while Aubergine makes most appeal of the newcomers before market clues are known.
Prediction : 1st Do It Now 2nd Rift Valley 3rd Aubergine

AMERICAN BAY has posted some useful efforts this season but this step back down to 6f can see this habitual keen-racer get his head in front. Harry Charlton's gelding would have finished a lot closer to the eventual winner had he been granted a clear run when finishing a never-nearer fourth over 7f in a Newbury handicap and looks the one to be with. Saint Matthew is surely better than he showed when finishing down the field over 5f at Ripon and he is respected having been gelded since that run, while Arabic Song completes the shortlist visored for the first time.
Prediction : 1st American Bay 2nd Saint Matthew 3rd Arabic Song

BRIGHT has found an extra gear of late and on the back of wins at Doncaster and Newcastle, the versatile four-year-old can extend the winning run with another 3lb rise in the handicap unlikely to stop him. The veteran Muscika is showing no signs of his enthusiasm waning and also looks a serious contender in this company, while previous C&D winner Hail Sezer lurks on a competitive mark and offers some each-way value back on this happy hunting ground.
Prediction : 1st Bright 2nd Muscika 3rd Hail Sezer

The top-weighted Newyorkstateofmind is an obvious contender after his return to form at Newcastle a fortnight ago and a bold showing can be expected, despite a 4lb higher mark. From the other end of the weights, Street Life also commands respect from a workable rating based on past exploits. However, from 19lb lower than his last winning mark, previous course winner GHATHANFAR looks the pick of the bunch on these terms and shades preference as a solid value option.
Prediction : 1st Ghathanfar 2nd Newyorkstateofmind 3rd Street Life

BETWEENTHESTICKS is an interesting recruit for the Ruth Carr stable and, having won off just a 2lb lower mark for his former trainer on his penultimate start, this could be a good time to catch the son of Captain Gerrard. The class-dropping Secret Command looks a serious contender at this level, while Ifonlytheycudtalk is also noteworthy back in a low-grade handicap after being well backed for a near miss in a classified event at Thirsk last month.
Prediction : 1st Betweenthesticks 2nd Secret Command 3rd Ifonlytheycudtalk

SEE THAT STORM is unbeaten in two starts since joining the Ed Bethell yard and his cosy victory at Pontefract last time reads well in the context of this race. The son of Storm The Stars is only 5lb higher for that triumph and he might be capable of continuing his rapid upward curve to complete the hat-trick. Great Blasket finished third in a class 2 event at Newmarket last month and will find this easier, while Sudden Ambush is another to consider after his second at Doncaster.
Prediction : 1st See That Storm 2nd Great Blasket 3rd Sudden Ambush

Marmalade Lady finished 12 lengths clear of the third when hitting the crossbar in heavy conditions over 1m4f at Ffos Las last month and she should go well off a 1lb lower rating. However, she could come out second best to NORMANDY VISTA, who had Sonning (third) behind when taking the silver medal home at Catterick on his penultimate start and he followed that up with a fair third over two furlongs shorter at the same venue last time. Charlie Johnston's three-year-old looks well placed to return to winning ways.
Prediction : 1st Normandy Vista 2nd Marmalade Lady 3rd Sonning
