Tuesday’s Lucky 15 Tips – Selections from Redcar and Brighton

Yesterday was a reminder of how little integrity this sport has at the lower levels. Three Platoon ran a blinder off hold up tactics last time, so to see him double in price and try to make all off a blistering pace was just pure tomfoolery.

I overlooked the 1st and 3rd, which I don't mind given how obvious their chances were to me but it is no good to any followers and as mentioned before is something I need to work on going forward. The rest of the runners didn't show much, Calafrio finishing one outta the places whilst Monks Mead was never involved – annoying the trainer had a winner elsewhere.

I need to deliver something soon or my ego is going to get bruised, I can't be overly confident today but will be going above and beyond this week to make up for a few bad days recently. Best of Luck.

Attacanter Racing Tips

Zuffolo 13/2 – 15.43 Redcar

Michael Dods had a massive day yesterday. I pride myself on being ahead of the curve but just lately with a full time job to contend with, my edge is being blunted. He has a swarm of runners to dig through for Tuesday but I am happy to chance Zuffolo who is 5lbs above his last win with two poor runs to overlook.

This apprentice does quite well for the trainer, he was on board the last time it won, the horse in behind has won his next two and that does offer some encouragement.

Now going off 58, he is still 12lbs below his last AW success from November, he had won twice on turf before that, although you'd have to go back to May 2023, he was winning over today's C&D rated 71.

If getting back on track the horse is more than capable of filling a place, the top rider for the yard is on for another horse at half the price, a trainer he does ride for regularly, that horse is starting to look dangerously handicapped but given the yard form, I'll stick with the selection.

Flowstate 13/2 four places – 15.13 Redcar

Flowstate is a lightly raced horse from the David O'Meara yard, a man many of you will be long familiar and if not, you'd have seen him popping up plenty over the last few months.

The horse won on debut before finishing 2nd twice, last time he didn't show much and is still upped in company. Bright is a fully respected market leader but I expect this horse to get back on track with his winning jockey back on board. Mark Winn has ridden him when claiming, having recently lost his claim I suppose it isn't overly concerning he's on one for small time sprint specialist Paul Midgley.

I typically try to remove luck/hope from the equation and stick to scrutinising seasoned handicappers but I am more than happy taking a chance on a horse who has done little wrong.

David Allan has double the amount of rides here than anyone else but he is the leading jockey. The trainer does well enough here too, at this time last year he had two winners and two place from 7 runners, Nolan was on both.

First Encounter 11/1 – 15.20 Brighton

Long Call was subject of a very, very embarrassing effort from Molly Gunn when narrowly losing to Gallimimus recently, now with a better apprentice on, he should be of interest at the price but I'll take a chance on the trainer's apparent 2nd string and promise not to moan about it tomorrow.

John Gallagher isn't a house hold name to many, but he does have a decent record at this track, 21 of his 38 runners over the previous 24 months have placed, with 12 of those winning, second only to Tony Carroll. Three of his previous eight runners have won here.

Darrah Keenan is his go to jockey, he also has a very pleasing record here with 11 wins, only one behind the leading rider in the previous two years. Including winners 33% of his rides have hit the frame, which is pleasing given this is a unique course.

Obvious at the prices, we are going to require a bit of luck but the horse has already proved he is capable having won from just 1lb lower back in July. The biggest concern is the trainer also saddle's a LTO winner here, who is at the top of the market – we have no extra places but he sneaks in given Darragh hops off for this one.

Gearing's Point 11/1 – 15.50 Brighton

This is not a race I would typically look at, there is a 1/2 market leader who looks unbeatable and only three places are paid.

This combination have just had a placed runner which I chanced and that drew me to their only runner here today, a horse who was last seen just 3 days ago.

The horse isn't particularly well handicapped on his best, she only managed 5th last time and now loses a 5lb apprentice. Given the 2nd fav is 8/1 a whole host can hit the frame and I thought we had a sound enough chance with the trainer having sent out many a consistent performer of late.

*Advised Bet – Eachway L15* 

WHAT IS A LUCKY 15 BET?

A Lucky 15 bet consists of 15 unique bets, covering every possible combination that comes from backing four selections. The 15 bets are broken down like this:

– 1 fourfold accumulator

– 4 trebles, with each treble omitting one of your selections

– 6 doubles, again covering every possible combination

– 4 singles

The attraction of a Lucky 15 is that it offers many more ways to win than a standard accumulator. A Lucky 15 uses both your acca and your singles as well as producing trebles and doubles that reward you for correctly calling 2/4 or 3/4 of your selections. To cover the 15 separate bets, a Lucky 15 uses your stake 15 times. If you were to place £1 on a Lucky 15, you would be staking £15 in total across the various bets.
