Joe's Tuesday Tips

***7.16 Swindon - Ballydoyle Boo (4pts) 11/4 

**8.07 Swindon - Voyage Stanley (3pts) 11/4 

*8.41 Swindon - Ballymac Mags (2pts) 9/4

Five open races at Swindon this evening including one sprint, two four-bend races and two six-bend races. 

The first open of the night is the Blunsdon Sprint over 262m at 6.59pm. Trap five Dashing Dude has held every chance behind Southfield Queen on his last two competitive starts and there is no reason why the form should be reversed. Southfield Queen is ideally drawn on the inside in trap one and has been showing more early pace than Dashing Dude so I expect the same result this evening with Southfield Queen getting the better of Dashing Dude. 

Next up is the Blunsdon Maiden Stayers at 7.16pm over 682m. Trap three Eagles Respect is expected to go off a short priced favourite, however this is his first run over the trip and hasn’t shown he is desperate for the step up in trip. With that I am going to be with trap two Ballydoyle Boo. She didn’t get any kind of run in a warm six-bend maiden last week but takes a big drop in class this evening. If she can clear Chubbys Angel on her inside and hold Eagles Respect on her outside she can show her four-bend speed to hit the front and hold on from Beora Bee and Eagles Respect. 

The Blunsdon Standard Division B is next up at 8.07pm. I am going to give another chance to trap three Voyage Stanley who ran better last week after breaking on terms. He has been completely missing the break but shown his capabilities last week only being beaten three parts of a length in third. He needs to clear Ontherun Eden in two and if doing so he should lead into the bend with Eze in trap six. If he can be in front of Eze coming off the second bend there should not be anything in the race that is capable of catching Voyage Stanley. 

At 8.24pm we have the Blunsdon Standard Division A. Cul Na Braithre held every chance last week in a four dog race when well fancied. It took him forever to get going but finds himself in a race that could suit his style. Apart from Cul Na Braithre, the rest of the field all want to be off the front including Bluejig Baron who if leading will be extremely difficult to reel in but I am going to take a chance on Cul Na Braithre that things get scrappy up front and he can pick up the pieces when he gets going from the third bend. 

The final open race of the evening is the Blunsdon Stayers over 682m at 8.41pm. This is a competitive affair where I am going to be with trap three Ballymac Mags. The key to her race is getting a clear run at Ballymac Loca, Baggios Dilemma and Invergarry who stepped up to six bends impressively last week. The buckle up front could suit Ballymac Mags as long as she does not make any mistakes. She won a good race here two weeks ago beating Billis Wizard and Droopys Suprstar so can follow up again.
