Horse racing tips: Newmarket, Perth, Pontefract and Chelmsford – Steve Mullen’s betting preview for Thursday, September 28
Steve Mullen guides you through Thursday's racing from Newmarket, Perth, Pontefract and Chelmsford
NEWMARKET
2.00
MIDI is bred to be a superstar being by Frankel and out of a mare that has produced many classy types.
He will be a middle-distance horse next season by this mile should be ideal for now. Sir Michael Stoute does have some first-up winners and market support would be telling.
2.35
GLOBAL CONQUEROR has looked a nice prospect on his three runs so far, finishing third at Beverley before stepping up to bag second at Haydock last time out.
That was his first run over a mile and he clearly improved for it. He wouldn’t have to improve much to win this.
3.10
SUMMER CHORUS was unlucky not to win at Chelmsford last time out. She had to sit and suffer waiting for an opening when going well and it came too soon.
She took off once in the clear to finish second. Her turf form is solid too with a pair of placed efforts on the July Course here. That gives her strong claims in an open race.
3.45
TANGLED didn’t fire at Doncaster last time but was in winning form at York and on the July Course here before that.
This trip and fast ground suits well and, while he needs to up his game slightly, there should still be more to come.
Steve Mullen's star bet
5.30 Newmarket - Sun Lover: 'Excellent effort last time and can go one better today'
4.20
ARCH VILLAIN came back from a year off to run a cracker when fourth in the Ebor at 50-1. Trainer Amanda Perrett has wisely given him five weeks off since then which should help negate any ‘bounce’ factor.
He clearly has few miles on the clock and will like this trip and track. If he runs close to his York form he’ll be right on the premises.
4.55
JAAMEH has more than enough ability to win this and the first-time blinkers might get him to produce it.
He hasn’t been in bad form with a third here and then at Haydock last time. He sees out this trip well and goes in the ground. He’s had a bit of help from the handicapper too.
5.30 - Mullen's star bet
SUN LOVER took the wide route at Chester last time and that’s never a good idea. So it was an excellent effort to finish second in a pretty competitive handicap.
He is off the same mark here on ground he likes so can make up for that disappointment.
6.05
TURNING GOLD can maintain the excellent form of trainer Sir Mark Prescott in a tight little race. He has a visor on here after a poor run at Doncaster last time that was too bad to be true.
He landed a couple of wins earlier this summer when the ground was similar to this.
