Lucky 15 tips - Saturday, August 16

Newbury

  • 13:50 - Pinhole @ 2/1

Fast Racing Results

13:50 - Pinhole @ 2/1

Dancing Brave silks alert - Pinhole bids to follow-up an ultra-convincing handicap success 22 days ago by taking this Group 3. Ralph Beckett trains, Colin Keane is in the plate.

Highly upwardly-mobile looking three-year-old Frankel colt who looks to have a very bright future.

14:25 - Rhythm N Hooves @ 9/2

Sprint king Robert Cowell saddles another in-form entrant, up a couple of pounds for going close last time at Ascot. Rhythm N Hooves takes a slight class drop today and would be a very deserving scorer.

Billy Loughnane rides.

15:00 - Leadman @ 8/1

David O'Meara raids from North Yorkshire with this five-year-old Kingman gelding who used to be with Andrew Balding. Leadman ran well at Newmarket two starts ago and any repeat today could suffice.

Last time at Goodwood he was hampered early and on the back foot as a consequence throughout. Danny Tudhope rides for the first time.

15:35 - King's Gamble @ 9/2

The brilliant combo of Ralph Beckett and jockey Rossa Ryan - and the lightly-raced four-year-old Kingman colt King's Gamble.

The horse has evidently had his problems, with two sizeable periods of inactivity (281 and 351 days respectively), but showed on this course on seasonal reappearance four weeks ago in a G3 that the fire still burns brightly (keeping on, beaten 1.75l).

Versatile (between 6f and a mile), this 7f should suit admirably and he holds a couple of big autumn entries at Doncaster and Ascot. Deserves a clear shot at getting his career back on track.

This is an example of a Lucky 15. If you can improve upon my selections (of course you can), then go for it!

The odds can fluctuate between publishing our pieces and race-time. As a guide, a £0.25p each-way Lucky 15 on today's selections, at the prices, and assuming all four won, would return around £440 for your total £7.50 stake.
