Kodi Red at Thirsk 17:40 - tips, betting, and prediction

First up, we have Kodi Red, a gallant 5-year-old gelding, lining up at Thirsk for the 6f Race 8 Limec Logistics 10th Anniversary Handicap, taking place on the good to firm-good in places track at 17:40. Kodi and his jockey, P Mulrennan, are handled by trainer Darryll Holland, but the duo comes with a set of long odds at 12, possibly reflecting his recent form not being top-notch with no wins in the last 30 days of racing. However, Kodi Red's experience over the distance, with 16 runs and 2 wins over 6f in the last 720 days, hints at a seasoned performer potentially overdue for a resurgence. His trainer, Holland, has a reasonable 10% strike rate in the last 30 days that could boost optimism. Jockey P Mulrennan has secured a commendable 8 wins from 28 starts in just the last 14 days, suggesting he could wring a strong performance out of Kodi despite a recent form slump. Given the live_price, Kodi Red presents a 'throw a cheeky quid at it' kind of value bet, if you're feeling adventurous this racing day. Next on the list is Waistcoat, a 4-year-old who's again at Thirsk on the same conditions and distance for the same race. Waistcoat comes with sharper odds at a live price of 3, which reflects his more promising recent outings, including a win within the last 30 days. Interestingly, he's also secured a win at this distance recently, making him a potentially savvy pick. Trained by Dylan Cunha and ridden by Harry Davies, who's managed only 1 win from 26 starts over the past fortnight, they'll hope Waistcoat's form can sway the odds in their favor further. Flavius Titus, a rather venerable 10-year-old, brings vast experience into the mix but flounders with the long odds of 34 in this tightly contested field. Running under the guidance of trainer D Brooke and with Harrison Shaw in the saddle, this seasoned campaigner has shown competitive spark before and carries 3 course-distance wins from a stretched timeline of 720 racing days, hinting he could still spring a surprise, or at least uphold racing dignity by not finishing last. Keep a speculative eye on Waistcoat if you wish to back a recent winner, while Flavius might just be the race's old warhorse limbering for a nostalgic blitz. However, Kodi Red has our spotlight for an outside tilt at glory - it's all about risk and potential reward in this thrilling handicap! As always, best of luck, punters! Remember, bet responsibly.
