Thursday’s UK racing tips come your way from the meeting at Newbury on 25 July 2024.
NEWBURY
Race 2 – GLISTENING 11/10
GLISTENING can shine for John and Thady Gosden in the Jebel Ali Racecourse EBF Maiden Fillies’ Stakes.
The Juddmonte-owned and bred filly is by Frankel and out of Soffia, a high-quality, Group-winning mare.
This filly started her career in a Yarmouth maiden earlier in the month and finished third, beaten a length and three-quarters despite obvious signs of greenness that point to more to come with experience.
Race 3 – SILENT FLAME 9/2
SILENT FLAME can keep up a good run for trainer Rod Millman in the BetVictor Handicap over seven furlongs.
The mare was a winner at the Berkshire track over six furlongs last time out and having found her form again she might still have a bit in hand off her current mark.
Race 4 – THE CRAFTY MOLE 5/2
THE CRAFT MOLE takes on tougher competition bringing an excellent recent record. Four wins and a placing last five outings and justified favouritism scoring by a neck at Thirsk over 1m6f.
Surrey Belle seeks a double following an impressive seven-length success attempting a similar journey at Kempton.
Warmonger has been making steady progress since a break. Scored by 2.25L at Lingfield when last seen. Not to be dismissed.
Race 6 – GOBLET OF FIRE 5/2
GOBLET OF FIRE bids for a hat-trick. Justified favouritism scoring by 1.5L at Wolverhampton tackling a similar trip last time. Remains on a credible mark with added assistance of apprentice claim.
Throubi could defy top weight. Returned after a short break producing a 1.3L success at Doncaster over 1m2f. Steps up in distance.
Capstan has been freshened since a neck success at Lingfield AW attempting a similar journey. Tends to go well fresh.
Lunar Shadow holds each-way claims based on a reappearance Lingfield win. Struggled on turf at Newmarket since. Better anticipated.
