Headlining our betting tips today at Newton Abbot is La Quarite in the 'Race 3 Happy Birthday Geoff Hobbs Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Chase' at 14:58. This young gelding, handled by Shane Fenelon and trained by Mickey Bowen, shows a promising form despite a modest win rate. At five years old, with a short live price of 2.63, La Quarite doesn't just bring youth but also some decent stats under his belt, with a win at this course and distance logged within the last 720 days. While recent form could be brighter, the combination of the recent track familiarity and Bowen's successful training run over the last six months (25% win rate from 124 races) makes him a noteworthy contender. Imperial Measure, another one to watch, comes with a value live price of 4.5. Trained by Evan Williams and ridden by Ellis Collier, this 7-year-old gelding has had a quiet recent period but his performance at this course previously could make him a lovely surprise. Williams has a strong showing here as well, with a decent strike rate. Though Imperial Measure has yet to shine in recent races, the Newton Abbot track could just be the stage he needs to make a comeback. Master Mikey Dee, ridden by Freddie Gingell and trained by Mrs. R Ford, is priced deeper in the market at 8. This 10-year-old gelding has a long career but with no recent wins, suggesting a need for just the right conditions to excel. His course experience could factor in, but his older age and recent undistinguished form place him as a less favorable choice compared to our star, La Quarite, or even the second favorite, Imperial Measure. Looking at the figures and considering the conditions, La Quarite stands out as a solid prediction for today's race at Newton Abbot. Fingers crossed he runs as splendidly as his numbers suggest! Remember folks, it's only a bit of fun so bet wisely and enjoy the race!
