Megan Nicholls Racing Preview: Chepstow & Newmarket Tips
FRIDAY RACING TIPS
Newmarket 1.15 – Cornwallis Stakes
Boringly, I think Brussels (EVS fav) will prove too good here.
He was only just touched off in better company last time and, now dropped down in grade, he should take a lot of beating down in trip.
I can only see him shortening up so, if you can get around even money, that looks a good bet to me!
Megan’s Tip: Brussels WIN
Newmarket 1.50 – Oh So Sharp Stakes
I’ll go with Classic Cuvee (10/3) in the Oh So Sharp.
She got off the mark on her second start at Doncaster, where she toughed it out nicely.
The form of her second on debut at Newmarket looks solid now with the winner taking the Cheveley Park since.
This looks a good opportunity to win again, particularly with conditions likely to be in her favour.
Megan’s Tip: Classic Cuvee WIN
Newmarket 2.57 – Fillies’ Mile
How is Queen Of Hawaii (9/1) such a big price?
She was very green on her debut and learned plenty from that to win really well twice subsequently.
I was very impressed by the way she did it at Leopardstown last time. She beat the Chesham second, Moments Of Joy, convincingly and I have a feeling that will prove a strong race.
Queen Of Hawaii was far too good for Moments Of Joy there and she looks more than worth a go in Group 1 company.
She looks a massive price in an open-looking race and I’m pretty hopeful this talented filly has more improvement to come.
Megan’s Tip: Queen Of Hawaii EW
Chepstow 3.43 – Persian War Novices’ Hurdle
The jumps are back!
The traditional curtain-raiser at Chepstow kicks off with the Grade 2 Persian War and I like Sticktotheplan (9/2).
He’s now with Olly Murphy after impressing in a Listed event a Galway last time.
He looked to be improving over in Ireland and Murphy has mentioned this race for a while.
You’d imagine he’d want to hit the ground running this season so his horses should be ready to go and we know his charge will like the decent ground.
Megan’s Tip: Sticktotheplan WIN
