Thursday's Tips

*** Droopys Edit - 7.42 Valley

** Gizmo Mysterious - 6.46 Valley

* Little Pretender - 7.27 Newcastle


The 460m around Valley has just been a touch taxing for Droopys Edit in his first two starts here but he has been improving his time with each run. He has the early pace to lead these up again this evening, and any further progression on the clock can see him hold on. His form in Ireland was excellent and now that he is starting to get used to this venue, there should still be plenty more to come from him on just his ninth career start.


Gizmo Mysterious has been in flying form of late, winning seven of her last nine starts. The most impressive thing about this run is that she has won from four different traps in that time, with her quickest run coming last time out when she sported the same white jacket that she does tonight. She is only tiny but she has plenty of heart. 


At Newcastle, it is a sprint that catches the eye with Little Pretender who has wins at Star Pelaw, Doncaster and at this track in his last five outings. He has really found his stride and he gets the nod on the draw alone here. His main rival is Slingshot Gazza who would be fancied to win this if he was drawn in the middle but he sports the red jacket for the first time since May 2025. It does not look his preferred starting slot.
