ITV racing tips: Newmarket and York – Matt Chapman’s top betting preview for Friday’s TV racing
Get all the info to bash the bookies as ITV's Matt Chapman runs you through Friday's racing live on ITV3
IT'S Day 2 of the July meeting at Newmarket and once again there are four races to enjoy from the track on ITV Racing (ITV3).
Let's just get stuck in, and the first race broadcast is the 1.50pm, a 7f handicap for horses who did not get a run in the Bunbury Cup.
Alas not many have turned up for the gig, so SALUTI has an excellent chance to get back to winning ways for Amanda Perrett.
He was beaten last time after a couple of wins, but only went down by less than a length and has every chance. A small field is no issue.
It's the Group 2 Duchess of Cambridge Stakes for juveniles over 6f at 2.25pm. I see no reason why the Mark Johnston-trained MAIN EDITION can't keep her winning run going.
The Albany winner at Royal Ascot can go from the front and will be hard to pass.
POINT AND SHOOT Charlie Appleby hoping Blue can reign again in Saturday's July Cup
Next up a 1m2f at 3.00pm. I'll stick with the in-form BERINGER for Alan King. He was winning well before a second at York last time to the re-opposing Wissachickon.
However, I'm not sure we have seen the best of him yet and he's a solid each-way selection.
Finally, ITV show the feature Group 1 Falmouth Stakes over 1m at 3.35pm. No doubt the selection has to be the brilliant Coronation Stakes winner ALPHA CENTAURI.
She looks like one of the stars of the season after her blitz at Ascot for Jessica Harrington.
Matt Chapman's TV Tips
1.50 Newmarket - Saluti: 'Went down narrowly last time and has every chance to bounce back'
2.25 Newmarket - Main Edition: 'Won the Albany and can bag this prize'
2.40 York - Mukhayyam: 'Could get the run of the race on the front end'
3.00 Newmarket - Beringer: 'Solid each-way shot and there looks to be more to come'
3.15 York - Could It Be Love: 'Second in Group company last time and is a classy type'
3.35 Newmarket - Alpha Centauri: 'Blitzed the field at Royal Ascot and is a superstar'
ITV also show two races from York on Friday, including the 2.40pm, a handicap over nearly 1m4f.
In a small field the one to be with is MUKHAYYAM, who can get the run of the race on the front end. David Allan can dictate against some hold up rivals.
Latest in Horse Racing
The other race at York broadcast is the 3.15pm, the Group 3 Summer Stakes over 6f. This really should be at the mercy of COULD IT BE LOVE, trained by Aidan O'Brien.
She was second in Ireland in Group company last time and is highly rated compared to most.
So best of luck and hope for Yeeehaaas. You Betcha!
