Horse-racing ‘Tip Of The Day’

Tuesday October 9

IF SO

Leicester 2.40 WIN

Newmarket handler James Fanshawe has become a dab hand with sprinters in recent seasons, including Deacon Blues, who won the Wokingham Handicap at Royal Ascot and also the Group Two sprint on the very first Qipco British Champions Day last year. That horse’s half-sister, the three-year-old daughter of another Wokingham winner in Ifraaj and also trained by Fanshawe, is today’s selection. Reportedly hot-headed in her early days, she finally consented to relax on her latest outing at Kempton and duly strolled to her first victory. The stable have had this low-grade fillies’ handicap in mind for her ever since and are confident she can go in again.
