Tuesday's best bets

No bet on Monday with EL MANSOUR price a lot shorter than expected, 2-1 being best price available all day ,Going off very short 6-4 favourite. I was very surprised that he was backed so much with the Michael Stoute runner Kinyras in the race, who's runners are normally well supported, though not so on this occasion .

In the race itself  EL MANSOUR travelled well in Second place and looked the likely winner with 2 furlongs to run though in the end was just denied in very close finish, finishing third beaten short head & nose by the newcomer Marhaba Malyoon.

On to Tuesdays racing just the two flat cards Newbury & Brighton ,Newbury's meeting is of no interest to me, full of big field Handicaps and maiden races that look very difficult.Brighton's never been one my favourite tracks though there does look quite interesting claiming stakes at 4.30 .

7F CLAIMING STAKES CLASS 5 BRIGHTON 4.30

DINGAAN :Useful performer on his day ,good winner of 1 mile claimer at Sandown  back in July beating Carcinetto by 3 Lenghs ,unsuited by slow pace last time in 7 furlong claimer at Wolverhampton, when finishing close third. Looks well treated at these weights and should go well.

DANGER :TIMETEAM consistent sort with proven record in this grade ,won seller over course/distance last time,looks the main danger to DINGAAN

VERDICT : DINGAAN stands out on form ,has proven record in better quality races,and should get the fast pace he needs .Looking for minimum price of 5-2
