Horse Racing Betting: Lingfield Park September 5th 2024 Betting Tips & Prediction
Lingfield Park hosts afternoon flat racing this Thursday 5th September. Eight races await getting underway…
The UK and Irish horse racing schedule has its work cut out on Saturday trying to entice punters into an interest following a specular week at the Cheltenham Festival where we got excitement and drama aplenty.
It’s also the job of major bookmakers to lure us into a bet with many investing their festival bankroll without seeing too much of a return thanks to a series of upsets in the week’s biggest races. The best way to do that is by offering the kind of value we can’t ignore and that appears to be their main strategy this weekend.
You’d be forgiven for expecting a quieter than usual schedule but that’s not the case with a number of important races going to post on Saturday afternoon, including a couple on an eight-race card at Uttoxeter that gets started at 1.50pm and takes bettors through to a 5.50pm close.
The opening race at Uttoxeter and it’ll bring the curtain up in style. A Class 3 event and those betting on the outcome early found Kupatana as the ante-post favourite with no more than Unibet’s 9/2 available. That’s better than the 4/1 you’ll find elsewhere, so tread carefully if getting your cash on that one.
Paul Nicholls’ six-year-old mare has impressive stats of three wins and three runners up from 10 starts but she has failed to finish three of her last four goes, ending second in the spare. That run started when unseating her rider at Wincanton before falling at the same venue next time. She was second around Ludlow and came down again last time out. If she stays on her feet and is disciplined, then we’re sure she wins.
