BEST BET

Today we are going to take a Double on Races 3 and 4 at Fairview in Port Elizabeth. In this bet we have to find the winner of both races.

In Race 3 we are going with 1-Trippin The Stars and in Race 4 we are taking 4-Regimental

Trippin The Stars has been a bit costly to follow in two other racing jurisdictions, but it could be third-time lucky for the three-year-old Trippi filly. She looks to be in the right race and the change in headgear could also benefit.

Regimental has been running against a lot stronger in the Western Cape and has now joined the stable of Eastern Cape champion trainer Alan Greeff. He will be running in much weaker company and will be ridden by Greg Cheyne who has ridden the gelding previously.

VALUE BET

Our value bet comes up in Race 8 and that is Thomas Tucker. He is well drawn and has excellent form on the Polytrack but is less effective on the turf where they race on this occasion.

Horse Racing Best Tip

However, he has run a few places on the turf, and he does jump from a good draw. A number of the more fancied runners are drawn wide and that is not helpful over this course and distance where races start on the turn.

He is currently on offer at 9-1 and looks a decent each-way bet.

Our website tipster believes one is well-handicapped and set to strike on Tuesday, while Charlie Deutsch and Venetia Williams can continue the winning run at Exeter.

He's been raised 2lbs for finishing second behind the improving Seyhali in a hands and heels race last time and he might have been let off lightly by the handicapper. The winner has gone in since and is rated much higher now, so it looks as though Majestic Merlin put up a useful performance for the grade.

He has been absent since mid-November which is a slight concern, but his stable have been in reasonable form and there are few in this race that look to have improvement in them. His year-older brother has gradually improved and is now rated in the mid 120s, and hopefully Majestic Merlin is following in a similar vein.

This seven-year-old looks an improved performer sent chasing this season and can continue the good form for jockey Charlie Deutsch and trainer Venetia Williams.

He's gone up 5lbs for a narrow defeat last time but the race has produced winners already and, although he's been absent for two months, it would seem very unlikely a Venetia Williams runner would be unfit at this time of the year.

Deutsch has been a major component of Williams’ recent success, riding a treble for the yard at Leicester last week and giving me a scare on runner-up Achilles behind Notachance in the big race at Warwick on Saturday.

He has been in good form over hurdles and the all-weather and signalled his turn was coming soon over today’s course and distance last time. He was upped to this two-mile trip last week, came up against a horse at the top of his form and was beaten just a neck - the pair four lengths clear of the field.

While he is a useful and consistent hurdler with a very good strike rate, he had not held his form as well on the Flat - but it is still remarkable that he has been dropped 21lbs in just six turf runs. I believe he is now very well-handicapped.
