Today’s horse racing tips: Three longshots to fill your pockets on Tuesday, August 14
Don't miss out on these each-way bets for Tuesday, August 14
THE action on the track is neatly spread out through Tuesday with two cards in the afternoon and two following in the evening.
Chelmsford and Ffos Las are first up, with Thirsk and Nottingham hosting the evening entertainment and offering up our longshots.
We start off in one of the poorer races of the day and RAMBLOW (4.00) drops considerably in grade at Chelmsford, with Josephine Gordon a taking booking.
This mare is seen to best effect on the all-weather and makes only her second start for her new yard here.
She's shown enough in Class 5 to suggest she could be too good for the majority of these if she steps up on some of her poorer efforts in recent months.
She's likely to go from the front - which lends itself to her hot and cold form - and I can't see much in the race having the ability to pass her, unless Gordon gets the fractions completely wrong.

Staying in Essex, hopefully OCHOS RIOS (5.00) can get the job done in the lucky last. The favourite is clearly the best horse in the race, but will be very short and David Evans' horse looks the bet.
His last two runs read well at this level, with the winner of his last effort winning a Class 2 impressively at Musselburgh.
His all weather form is strong on paper, but these runs have only come on the unique surface at Southwell. But at this level I have little concern with this and Evans is more than adept at placing his string.
Adam Kirby steering is always a plus and the favourite has set the market up nicely.

Last, but not least, we head back to the grass with HAVANA ROCKET (2.45) a tempting price at Ffos Las.
He was lost at Sandown on his debut, but showed signs of ability despite wandering from one side of the track to the other.
The Balding yard have hit top gear and the winner of the Sandown heat is a smart sort who has won well since. The fourth has also won comfortably.
The favourite - rated 87 - will take some beating on only Havana Rocket's second start, but there's plenty to suggest he'll be right in the mix.
