First up, meet Explosion, a 2-year-old colt tearing up the track at Chelmsford City for the 16:18 'Race 1 Flutter Proudly Supporting Pancreatic Cancer UK Nursery.' Paired up with top jockey S De Sousa and trained by the very active C Johnston, this little firecracker comes with pleasing odds at 1.91, which I'd say are short but sweet enough to wager on given his recent form. Don't let his youth fool you; with a 50% strike rate over the last 30 days from two races and one win to boot, he's not just making up the numbers. And then there's Royal Bodyguard, another 2-year-old colt, swinging in at odds of a more value-packed 2.63. Under the guidance of jockey Daniel Muscutt and handler M L W Bell, he's also one to watch. Fresh off a recent win with a 50% strike rate over the last 30 days, Royal Bodyguard's form seems like a good punt, especially over this 1m 2f distance amid the standard all-weather track. Finally, don't overlook The Resdev Scholar, riding out with odds making him a bit of an underdog at 5.5. Though his 30-day form doesn't show the same kind of promise as the top picks (no wins from one race), sometimes race day surprises are on the cards, and with M & D Easterby prepping him, surprises aren't out of question. So, as the dust settles, Explosion looks like the one to beat. A cracking bet if you ask me, with not only good form but also an excellent team behind him. A tenner on Explosion might just make your day. So, tally ho, chaps, and as always, bet responsibly!
