The 19:08:00 at Yarmouth delivers the standout contest on today's card — a Open Race — the premier class event over 462 metres with 6 going to post. It's a race that demands closer inspection, and the data backs that up.
There's no obvious front-runner in this line-up, which could produce a tactical affair. Positions at the first bend will be crucial, and the draw could prove decisive.
Somersham Wolf (Trap 1, breaking from the inside) — trained by D J Prentice — emerges as the form pick. Recent form reads 1-4-1-3-2 — 2 wins from the last 5 starts. Last ran 27.87 over course and distance. .
Carrickhill Matt (Trap 2) is the principal danger. Recent form reads 5-2-4-4-1 — a winner last time out. Last ran 28.62 over course and distance.
Of the remainder, Champagne Zombie (Trap 3, form 4-1-5-2-2) needs improvement on recent efforts; Easy Liberty (Trap 4, form 2-1-1-5-5) needs improvement on recent efforts; Rubber Ducky (Trap 5, form 6-2-4-1-1) needs improvement on recent efforts; Golden Acre (Trap 6, form 3-4-1-1-2) needs improvement on recent efforts.
The Verdict: Somersham Wolf from Trap 1 gets the vote. With 2 wins from the last 5 starts, the form is there to see. Carrickhill Matt is the clear danger, but the edge on pace, form, and conditions favours the selection. A genuine betting race — and one where the data has a strong opinion.
