Wednesday Tips- 17th September

Graham Banks takes at look through all the action from the all open race action at Yarmouth, the highlight being The Click Competitions East Anglian Derby at 9.04pm, and brings you his selections


The first of tonight’s open’s could go the way of WORTH THE RISK in the 6.14pm. Kevin Cobbold's runner can show good early pace and another fast start in this field could see him going close to making all the running while in the 6.31pm, RAINDROPS looks set to lead this field out wide in the early stages and if able to build up a decent looking lead, then the Erica Samuels runner could take all the beating over the 659m trip.


Craig Morris could get on the board at 6.48pm courtesy of CHELMS CHLOE. She can prove to be hit and miss from the traps, but if she can produce one of her better breaks, then she may prove tough to reel in on the run for home. 


Marathon action takes place at 7.06pm where BALLYMAC NOVA rates a strong selection. He has a cracking draw to work from on the rails and has gone well over this distance in the past and with stamina doubts hanging over several of these, then his class and stamina can see him home for trainer Pamela Cross.


TIFFIELD TARQUIN was knocked out of the East Anglian Derby at the Semi Final stage but could get back to winning ways here. He will need to produce one of his better breaks to hit the front early to clear Swift Depot inside, and if that's the case,  Roy Peckham's runner could get the better of the likely favourite Not So Steady at the finish at 7.22pm


£1,500 to the winner of this sprint contest. Yahoo Megan has a tricky draw to work from being drawn in trap five in the 7.39pm, and although she has time in hand on the field on last week's run and looks to be the most likely winner, betting her at odds on isn't that appealing. Instead, it could pay to play GROUCHOS KING. Paul Rea's local runner probably has the best of the draw being drawn in six as he could miss any potential crowding inside, and as he stays on well at the finish, he could pounce on the run for home and is worth an each way play at worst 


The 7.56pm contest is an open looking contest and any of the six runners can be given solid claims of scoring. MR JAMES is the selection on the basis that he ought to hit the front in the early stages out wide, and if that's the case, then the John Mullins trained runner could just make all the running.


£2,000 is up for grabs at 8.13pm and it could go the way of the Mark Wallis trained NEWINN CLOUD. He managed to win over the 659m distance last week despite not looking entirely comfortable on the track, but with that experience behind him, he is likely to improve a bundle and rates another strong selection.


Sprint action again in the 8.31pm where the Patrick Janssens trained GUNDY is the selection. Things may have clicked for him at Nottingham last time out when landing a first victory and moved well enough in a recent trial, a repeat of which looks good enough to land the spoils here


STRATHRANNOCH ran well in the heats and semi final of the East Anglian Derby, finishing third on both occasions when staying on well in the later stages, and he could land some compensation at 8.47pm.  There is plenty of early pace in this contest, and providing he keeps out of trouble in the early stages, Irene Barnard's runner can pick these off one by one rounding the final bends


£15,000 awaits the winner of The Click Competitions 79th East Anglian Derby at 9.04 and the race looks to be at the mercy of ROMEO STEEL. Having set a new track record when making all the running in his semi final. the Patrick Janssens trained runner has four to five lengths in hand on the clock with the rest of the field, and if leading in the early stages again, could even threaten his own track record again


Six bend action closes the meeting at 9.23pm and Jason Heath's BURROWS ECLIPSE can take all the beating. He has ran well over the tough 695m distance at Hove on a few occasions, and an early lead out wide can see him recording a comfortable success
