Tuesday 7th June 2011

After a thrilling couple of days at Epsom, heads are already turning to Ascot next week, where a fantastic few days of races culminates in the Golden Jubilee Stakes on Saturday. 


At Epsom last weekend the bookies were all smiles as Carlton House could only manage third in the derby and other well backed horses such as Boogie Shoes, Bourne and Premio Loco failed to deliver for punters. 


Today's picks come from Redcar and will hopefully replicate the kind of result Powell's Picks had last Friday.


Redcar 3:00
RYEDALE DANCER
3/1 at various bookies
My original choice in this race was Trading however she is now a non runner and I am backing her stablemate Ryedale Dancer instead. The Tim Easterby yard is in stunning form and Ryedale Dancer has a very good handicap for this race. She came a good runner up at Carlisle last time out on her handicap debut and is respected here. The ground is slightly quicker today and Maggie Mey and Fleurie Lover are dangerous but Ryedale Dancer has a shot. Her running style suits this straight course and she will be there or there abouts at the post.


Redcar 3:35
BOOM AND BUST
5/1 at StanJames
Coming off two wins at Bath and Newbury this four year old is in cracking form. Both of those wins came over this 1m trip and the fast ground suited him well. The Irish horse has travelled by far the furthest of any horses at Redcar today and will have a big claim in this one. The main threat will be Kiwi Bay who won this race 12 months ago and is well respected. Boom and Bust is a good front runner and those tactics could see Marcus Tregoning securing a very impressive hatrick of wins. Despite a 6lb rise since his last victory, Redcar is a course that should suit him here and the trip is perfect.


Redcar 4:10
PINTSIZE
11/10 at various bookies
Pintsize has been a runner up on his last two starts, over 6f at Thirsk and then 7f at Mussleburgh on Friday. Adrian Nicholls is on board and should be well in the mix once again. Latte with Kieren Fallon riding will be the biggest threat and is down in grade today but Pintsize is definitely the pick of the weights. With two solid runs behind him I'd expect Pintsize to go one better and pick up a victory here by some distance.
