Guarded at Naas 15:32 - tips, betting prediction

First up in the betting preview is Guarded, a 3-year-old filly set to run at Naas over 1 mile at 15:32. She'll be racing on ground described as 'Good-good to firm in places'. Guarded will be under the guidance of ace jockey R L Moore and is trained by A P O'Brien. Currently, she's fetching a price of 9.0, offering a touch of value if you're looking for an outside shot. Guarded's recent form is a bit of a mixed bag. She has had just one run in the last 30 days without hitting the winner's enclosure, showing there's room for improvement. While her strike rates aren't sparkling, her trainer A P O'Brien has a more convincing recent record, winning quite a few races from a high number of starters especially at this track. Combine that with Moore who has a solid 33% strike rate in the last 14 days, and you might still feel a bit optimistic. It's worth eyeing some challengers, notably Candleford Green, coming in with a short price of 3.5 and some backing despite lacking much public racing data. Hanamaya follows closely at 5.0, a decent contender with a bit more race experience reflected in her odds. So there you have it! Fancy a flutter on Guarded to seize the day or will the favour fall on the fresher legs of her rivals? Whatever you choose, make sure it's for fun. Good luck, and bet responsibly!
