Sedgefield Racing Tips
2.15: Joie De Vivre 10/3 (NB)
Can go fine fresh and after 223 days there might be more to offer over hurdles but also ran on the flat 32 days ago and won.
Clearly in good shape now and is back to the same mark that saw this gray mare win by over six lengths over course and distance in this race last year.
Wasn’t too far behind her rival Hajey either in February and now better in shot put and hurdles for the first time since that contest, she looks favourable.
Baron De Midleton also looks interesting on his handicap debut given his huge win over hurdles last time out, but that was March 2020 and he will need to challenge for the higher weight to better beat his rivals.
Joi De Vivre has a 22-pound advantage over the Brian Ellison-trained underdog and could be better tracked on his reappearance.
3.25: Tico Times 5/4 (NAP)
Good record for hitting the fences and only went up 4 pounds for that victory in Perth in September.
Her second place finish behind Gold Des Bois was also bolstered with this winner winning again and looking like the one to beat for Dianne Sayer.
Nottingham Running Tips
2:40 p.m.: Lady Valentine 5/1
Placed at 40/1 last time out when he first moved over 1m6f and seems well treated ahead of this class 4 with few winners among these fillies.
Andrea Atzeni is booked to ride and receives 13 pounds at highest hitter Danni California.
3.15: Prosecco 14/1
Novice stakes for many promising newbies drawn from and by some of the best pedigree bloodlines including Teofilo, Camelot, Sea The Stars and Australia.
But Jamie Spencer rides the Gleneagles filly who cost Andrew Balding 110,000 gns as a yearling and his dam, Elbereth, earned over £328,000.
She won the Nottinghamshire Oaks Stakes in 2016 and that might be an overpriced two-year-old at this stage in a colt field.
3h50: Venetian 11/2
Charlie & Mark Johnston train this promising two-year-old whose stable mates also work wisely for the same owner, including Austrian Theory, Value Theory and this colt could be on the verge of reaching the same level.
Won at Hamilton on 1m+ soft ground two runs ago and was a respectable third place at Kempton in September and increased to 1m2f is interesting.
His sire didn’t run more than a mile while his dam, the offspring of Venetian Beauty ran well over that distance, Value Theory for example won twice over that distance.
Progeny also own Avenger Masque who has earned over £700,000 for trainer Michael Moroney, and has been a consistent performer on various trips including medium distances.
