Steve Ryder has two racing tips for Monday's meeting at Hamilton.
4:04 Hamilton- City Captain (3pt Win)
The Harriet Bethell trained CITY CAPTAIN (best priced at 6/4) lost his unbeaten record at Hamilton last time when runner-up by a head but based on that run, this drop down to 5f should really suit. The four-year-old had previously won both of his starts at the track and was sent off a well supported 6/5 favourite last time.
City Captain often travels strongly throughout his races including last time when trading long odds-on in running that this drop in trip to 5f for the first time in his career looks worth trying. Danny Tudhope is once again on board and he should prove hard to beat.
5:13 Hamilton- Sunnysideofdstreet (2pt Win)
Joseph O’Brien sends SUNNYSIDEOFDSTREET (best priced at 4/1) to Hamilton for her handicap debut and she should relish this step up in trip to 1m4f. The three-year-old had three quick qualifying runs at Dundalk at the end of last year over 7f when sent off 50/1, 100/1 and 150/1 but now returns from 290 days off the track upped in trip to 1m4f for the first time off an opening mark of 46.
Sunnysideofdstreet is bred to improve for this step up in trip and she can get off the mark in this weak 0-60 handicap and provide her trainer with a second winner at this track.
