Best bet for the horseracing Thursday 18th January 2024

It’s All-Weather horseracing only on Thursday in the UK with freezing temperatures taking its toll on the fixture list once again. As it happens I fancy one and it runs on the Tapeta at Southwell anyway and I am on overnight. 

Best bet for the horseracing at Southwell

The race of interest to me is the 1m3f Build Your Acca With BetUK Handicap at 6.30. Qaasid had been running well last year without winning over slightly shorter, leaving him stuck in the mid-eighties on the ratings. He has won fresh in the past so the lack of a recent run is of little concern and the slight step back up in trip should suit him. Though it will require a career best effort the six-year-old will surely be there or thereabouts at the finish. He won over track and trip back in December 2022, has also won on the Tapeta at Newcastle, and all being well can break smartly from stall two and get a nice prominent position from the off which will suit him just fine. The Bookies were never going to offer double figure odds so I have a bit of the 13-2 overnight; opened 8’s and is a short as 11-2 with Hills.

Be lucky
