Free Horse Racing Tip – Hungerford Stakes
Ripon features the main betting race this Saturday courtesy of the Great St Wilfrid Handicap for which Steward’s Cup runner-up Orion’s Bow is likely to go off favourite for the six-furlong speed test.
But for the free horse racing tip, the 4-1 available with Ladbrokes about Nemoralia for Newbury’s Group 2 Betfred Hungerford Stakes looks excellent value in the ante-post market after 16 horses stood their ground at Monday’s declaration stage.
One of three 3-year-old's left in the seven-furlong contest, the others being doubtful starters Air Vice Marshal and Hit It A Bomb, the daughter of More Than Ready will be in receipt of lumps of weight from her rivals and under what are likely to prove ideal conditions can prove yet another success for the Classic generation.
The Jeremy Noseda-trained filly enjoyed a successful two-year-old campaign culminating in a close third in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf at Keeneland. She got this season off to the best possible start when storming home in a Listed race at York's Dante meeting before finding only the outstanding French filly, Qemah too good in Royal Ascot's Coronation Stakes back in June.
Sent off the 11-10 favourite for Chantilly's Group 1 Prix Jean Prat on her most recent start, Nemoralia was given far too much to do by Frankie Dettori. She was never able to get in a blow at easy winner Zelzal and eventually finished a never-nearer fourth. Dropping back a furlong in trip should not inconvenience the filly and she is a strong fancy to get back to winning ways at the Berkshire track. Main dangers are likely to prove the consistent Home Of The Brave and Convoy.
