Best horse racing tips for today: Sun Racing’s top picks for today’s racing at Windsor, Leicester, Bangor and Thirsk
Don't miss out on Sun Racing's best bet and each-way shot at all of Monday's meetings
WITH York only a matter of days away, there's four cards across the country to build up that kitty before Wednesday.
We've had a look at each card and picked out a best bet and each way shout for all four meetings.
Thirsk
Best bet
3.35 Elysian Flyer - I'm slightly scared the ground may just be drying out a tad too much for Paul Midgley's horse but nonetheless I believe he has a huge chance in this. It's a weak handicap and this admirable sprinter plugged on well last time out showing he's well capable of winning off this mark if he gets a cleaner race. Midgley places his sprinters brilliantly and I think this six-year-old is primed to take this.
Each way
5.05 Mango Chutney - About as consistent as they come at this level and his latest two runs read well at this grade. A course and distance winner recently, he should be in the mix off this mark.
Leicester
Best bet
2.50 Floria Tosca - Luca Cumani and Jamie Spencer usually team up to good effect and this filly improved hugely last time upped in trip, and looked the best horse in the race. With a top jockey now on board and hopefully a stronger pace this filly should get home in front.
Each way
2.20 Jensue - This is a competitive nursery but Tom Dascombe's youngster looks over priced. SHe was second behind a rapid improver last time out from a poor position throughout and that suggests she could be well treated off this mark, despite looking fairly exposed at a glance.
Windsor
Best bet
7.30 Harry Hurricane - Rarely runs at this level and should be too good for these despite shouldering a big weight. A positive ride always suits and he races off his lowest mark in over three years, despite showing some signs of ability through the summer.
Each way
7.00 Kimifive - A big eyecatcher back at Newmarket two runs ago, this improving sprinter thrives at this track and would have been much closer to Foxtrot Lady in the big handicap had he been drawn on the right side. On a career high mark, but this three-year-old is still on the way up and is a huge price for this competitive sprint.
Bangor
Best bet
5.40 Promise Of Peace - Donald McCain and Brian Hughes normally mop up races like this and this new recruit looks very interesting in a weak race.
Each way
6.10 Isle Road - Lost winning streak last time out but that was behind a progressive type and should still be in the mix in arguably a weaker race. Looks a juicy price in a race that won't take much winning.
