Purple Martini tips, betting and predictions at Carlisle 17:20

First up, we have 'Purple Martini', a 5-year-old mare who seems to stir, not shake. She’s set to race the 6 furlongs and 195 yards at Carlisle, in the 'Race 8 Andersons' on a 'Good to soft-soft in places' surface. Guided by jockey P Mulrennan and trained by B Haslam, she’s trotting in with a live price of 4, a tasty little value bet, isn't it? Looking at her form, 'Purple Martini' has been quite consistent recently, winning her last race within the last 30 days. The team of Mulrennan and Haslam only boasts a modest win rate in the last 60 days, but seems to have a better long-term rapport. Can they shake it up again today? Definitely a runner with potential given her recent performance and a solid pick to nip at the heels of victory. Next, we have the 7-year-old gelding 'Homer Stokes' partnering with Callum Rodriguez and trained by T D Barron. With an outsider live price of 8, could he be the dark horse today? He’s not had been out on the fields recently, with zero races in the last 30 days, but don’t let that put you off. His longer-term stats show some decent runs over this exact distance, albeit without nibbling at victory recently. Trainer Barron and jockey Rodriguez haven't lit the world on fire lately, so they’ll be keen for a good showing. Lastly, 'Spirit Of Bowland', a 6-year-old get-up, has Rowan Scott in the saddle, under Mrs Stella Barclay's guidance. His form is a mix of hits and misses with a win in one of his last thirty-day races but generally struggling to make a significant mark in a larger time frame. With a live price of 9, he is another one vying for value bet status. Mrs. Barclay has had a few winners in recent months; perhaps 'Spirit of Bowland' could add to that count today. As for other runners, 'Stipulation' tagged with a live price of 13, could be a long shot worth watching. As they say, let the best horse win, but my money's on 'Purple Martini' at 17:20 in Carlisle. Best of luck with your bets, and remember, always stake what you can afford to lose!
