Today’s Each-Way Horse Racing Betting Tips

3:40 Perth: AEROS LUCK 

Consistent profile from the in-form Sandy Thomson yard that come into today with 4 wins from their last 11.

Last seen running third at Kelso at the end of February, but is down a pound for that.

Which sees him back to his last winning mark.

I also feel the 2 month break will help and has shown a liking for better ground in the past too.

Aeros is the call to carry on the good ‘luck’ for the Thomson team at the moment.

4:00 Ludlow: JESSIE’S GIANT 

Was well back the last day at Huntingdon, but I think the longer trip today (2m 5f) will improve this horse.

She’s also only raced five times, so still learning her trade and her first dip into a handicap today will also be a plus in my book.

Gets in on a mark of 74 and just 10-5 to carry, which I feel looks fair and the Ellis team often do okay at Ludlow with their runners.

I’ll take Jessie’s Giant to stand tall here.

6:00 Taunton: MIDNIGHT PASS

Another stable in good order at the moment is the Emma Lavelle team – with 2 wins from their last 6.

They run Midnight Guard here and I think she’s worth an e/w play at fair odds.

Last seen running 3rd (of 8) at Hereford back in October so is back from a break.

But is into a handicap for the first time, which I think will make her much more competitive.

With the final plus the 25% SR the Lavelle yard have at this track – which is the best on show from the trainers in this race.

6:48 Gowran Park: CHIRAC 

Today’s final each-way horse racing tip comes over in Ireland at Gowran Park.

This 3yold is yet to score from four starts, but I felt improved a bundle the last day – when 4th (of 15) at Naas in March.

That came over 5f and I felt looked a tad one-paced there – running on well at the end.

Suggesting the step up to 7f today will be a good move.

While the John James Ferne yard are 3-8 (38%) with their 3yolds at this venue.

Andy Newton’s Lay Of The Day Horse Racing Tip

2:22 Catterick: ROTOKURA BELLE

Won here the last day and was gutsy in getting home.

But is up 3lbs for that success and only just lasted out (neck).

Another bold bid from the front likely under Jason Hart again, but I just feel she’s got a bit more on her plate this time also up to a 0-75.

Note: Some picks can drift during the day (obviously we have no control of that) – but I’d say if they hit 8.0+ they are prob best left (for obvious reasons).
