Racing Tips – Zoom To Victory With Zoum Zoum

This tip has expired. Please check our free horse racing tips section of the website to find the most up to date.

Friday saw us land another winner with my main selection, Catch Him Derry, winning at advised odds of 2/1.

When I was doing my write-up, I thought 2/1 was great value for that selection, and it proved as he shortened into 5/6 overnight and won in the style that an odds-on shot should do.

I also had two other selections on Friday, one of which was a non-runner, as Molly Mischief refused to enter the stalls.

My other selection was Lasting Love, who was travelling on the bridle into the business end but found little when push came to shove and eventually finished third.

I have six selections for Saturday's racing, four of which come from the Scottish Grand National.

I've created a similar guide as I did with the English Grand National. The article includes my four plays in the race, but I will add them at the bottom of this article for those who may miss it or don't have time to give it a read-through.

Zoum Zoum 15/8 – Newbury 2:40

This is a cracking race and probably the race I'm looking forward to the most, as I'm more a fan of the flat than the jumps.
I was a bit disappointed to see Zoum Zoum so short in the market, as I was hoping he would be more of a 3/1 shot, but it is what it is.

I touched on this horse a couple of days ago in the same write up that I tipped up Kikkuli to win, so I may just be repeating what I've already said, but I do have to write something to fill the page up.

Unbeaten in his last three races, Zoum Zoum looks a really nice prospect for Ralph Beckett.

He won on debut when turning over Andrew Balding's 4/6 shot Imperial Guard; he then followed up his debut run when beating home Kikkuli at Newmarket, which now looks great form as Kikkuli has since gone on to go one better when getting the better of Charlie Appleby's Creative Story.

He then went to France to score in listed company. Elvis, a long-term contributor to the thread, enjoys French racing. He might be able to give you a little more depth into the listed win, but at a glance, it looks strong enough for what the race was on paper.

Army Ethos would be a major player if it could reproduce the second in the Coventry last year. That said, you might remember I tipped up a horse called Pocklington, who turned him over at 2/9. That was enough to put me off him, Army Ethos, but at the prices, he is probably the value play alongside Ballymount Boy.

Deeper Blue 13/2 – Ayr 1:50

I thought Deeper Blue was of interest in this race at the prices, although not getting his head in front, he has run some creditable runs in defeat, and he seems to be a horse whose improving anytime connections step him up in a trip.

He has finished second on his previous two outings, most notably at Hereford, where he finished behind Henry's Friend. The form of that second now reads well as Henry's Friend has since gone on to land the Reynoldstown Novices' Chase at Ascot, where he got the better of the likes of Kilbeg King and Lucinda Russels' Apple Away.

He then followed up the Hereford run with another good effort when second behind Neon Moon and nine and a half lengths clear of the third Abuffalosoldier.

Harry Fry has his horses in good form at present, and I think stepping Deeper Blue up in trip further could prove the right move. He is a horse who travels well, and with a lot of expected pace on show, he should get something to aim at and hopefully get his head in front after hitting the crossbar on his last two outings.
