Joe's Thursday Tips- 17 April 2025

Thursday’s Selections

***8.41 Hove - Clona Uriel (4pts) 2/1
**9.11 Newcastle - Slingshot Shaz (3pts) 7/5
*6.26 Hove - Broadstrand Noah (2pts) 11/2

Two winners out of three last night sees us back in form with three more tips this evening across Hove and Newcastle.

The nap of the evening runs in the A1 at Hove at 8.41pm. Trap one Clona Uriel was beat by Lets Go Harry last week from the same traps one and two but I am with Clona Uriel to reverse the form from last week. He led from the second bend to near line last week but was slightly out trapped by the winner Lets Go Harry and the distance he was beat was what he lost out the traps so a better break from Clona Uriel can see him lead slightly earlier tonight and hold on from Lets Go Harry to reverse last weeks form.

The next best is trap two Slingshot Shaz in the A1 at Newcastle at 9.11pm. A short head defeat behind Naochra last week in the same grade continued his consistent run of form and he can return to winning ways this evening with a trap to line success. He should comfortably clear Droopys Niece on his inside so as long as he holds the early paced Wraysbury Swift and Colla Vanny to the second bend, he can power away to win and hold on from Droopys Niece who will be staying on strongly.

The third bet of the evening is trap one Broadstand Noah in the A3 at hove at 6.26pm. A strong running performer who was off the card from October to March, June Harvey’s old boy has shown glimpses of his ability in three competitive races back on the card and looks set to go well this evening in a more than winnable A3. The switch to trap one should help his cause where he could turn extremely handy and if doing so is a big player in this race tonight and pick up a first victory since mid September.
