Tuesday 16th April Horse Racing Betting Tips & Predictions
Major horse racing meetings continue to come at us thick and fast with punters enjoying the National term. The Grand National was won by favourite Tiger Roll a fortnight ago, Takingrisks claiming the Scottish National last week to delight lovers of a big price. Here are our Tuesday 16th April Horse Racing betting tips.
We have the Irish National to look forward to in the near future and you’ll find an in-depth preview of that race on the horse racing section of our site nearer the time, but for the moment we have a fantastic few days of action this week.
Newmarket plays host to its popular The Craven meeting between 16th and 18th April and our team of horse racing writers and sports betting experts return to give their thoughts on the week’s biggest and best. Having trawled through the runners and riders, as well as the all-important form, we offer our views on where the smart money goes, as well as which bookmakers are handing out best price.
Making a continued profit from horse racing is not easy, as we’re all aware, but knowing where to get the value and how to ensure your stake money works as hard as possible on your behalf is key to beating the bookies. We keep you on the right path, doing the hard work, so you don’t have to.
Weatherby’s Handicap – 1.50pm Newmarket
The second race on the card and the first that caught our attention when looking over the contenders. A class 2 event run over six furlongs on going that’s expected to be ideal for springtime racing and with over £16,000 paid to the winner, it’s no surprise to see a big field confirmed.
The betting is wide-open with Green Power your early favourite, although the fact there’s a 6/1 price tag attached by Ladbrokes traders shows just how competitive the money men expect this one to be.
Get a Bigger Price
A strong case could be made for the jolly doing as expected and winning this race but we’re happy to look further down the list in search of a bigger price and will be backing it each-way, looking to nick a profit, with bookies paying 1/4 the odds a place 1-2-3. Flavius Titus is an 8/1 shot at the time of writing and that caught our eye, leaping off the page as one that is a bit bigger than it probably should be and we’re happy to take advantage.
Roger Varian’s four-year-old gelding arrives at the home of British horse racing with a CV showing two wins and four placed efforts from 11 starts, including a second and third in his last three outings. He found only one too good when beaten a head by Mukalal at Leicester over seven furlongs on his penultimate go, sent off an 11/2 shot that day. He’s an improving sort and we expect him to run better than his price suggests. Take note of any attention he attracts between now and the off.
Our Tip: Flavius Titus to win – best odds 8/1
