Lucky 15 Tips: Wathnan Racing look poised to strike again

I've plumped for Nottingham's attractive seven-race card to provide Wednesday's Nap Of The Day in a companion piece, and I'm unashamedly heading back there for today's Lucky 15 tips.

Cracking course, very fair, and it's most unusual to find any obvious hard-luck stories in-running of multiple horses fighting for space and opportunity over tiny amounts of the same piece of real estate; as is occasionally, most regrettably and frustratingly, the case here and there. Here we go then - action kicks in at 14:22.

14:52 - Zelaina @ 10/11

Maiden two-year-old fillies go 5f - any Royal Ascot Queen Anne aspirants, I wonder, among their number?

The selection is an unraced daughter of Mehmas, trained by the brilliant Karl Burke at Coverham in North Yorkshire. She appears in the now hugely familiar Wathnan silks, and fetched £650,000 at the Goffs Breeze-ups after realising £82,000 as a yearling.

Regular retained pilot James Doyle is on top, and it's a very short price indeed that Zelaina will at the very least know her job. It's an absolute beaut of a contest, with a likely Godolphin type in opposition too, and we should be royally entertained.

15:52 - Dream Illusion @ 7/2

Another Burke inmate - this time a three-year-old Oasis Dream filly in a Class 5 handicap over just in excess of a mile.

Dream Illusion broke her duck last time at Wolves in her third handicap, off 62, and bids to defy a 2lb hike this afternoon. She's got a quietly progressive profile, and having broken through somewhat last time might just be ready to blossom.

Useful claimer Jack Nicholls once again takes off a handy 7lb and with Wolverhampton having only been 13 days ago it seems connections are keen to strike again while the iron is hot.

I'm happily rowing in with that theory!

16:22 - Boyfriend @ 5/4

I've previewed this one in the aforementioned Nap Of The Day piece, which you can read right here.

16:55 - Ride The Thunder @ 4/5

Small but select field for what looks a very nice maiden indeed.

My selection Ride The Thunder is a three-year-old Night Of Thunder colt who has run three times so far - and three second-place finishes proves there's plenty of ability upon which to work.

He's trained at HQ by the excellent Roger Varian and will be ridden by Ray Dawson, who had a good winner for Mick Appleby at this track on Sunday. Our hope has an absence of some 235 days to overcome but the yard are having winners and this one has run so far at Donny (twice), and York.

Tip-top, left-hand flat galloping tracks - like this one. He's in a couple of contests at Doncaster as it goes on Friday, but appears here instead and I think that could be significant.

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 £0.50p win Lucky 15 on today's selections, at the prices, and assuming all four won, would return around £45 for your total £7.50 stake.
