ITV Racing tips: Wednesday's best bets for ITV4 action from York and Newton Abbot
Newsboy's picks for Wednesday, May 11. It's day one of the Dante meeting on the Knavesmire and our man expects Charlie Appleby to unearth another Classic contender for Epsom in the Musidora
Aptly-named LIFE OF DREAMS is the way to go in the Tattersalls Musidora Stakes (3.35) at York.
Charlie Appleby has ticked off plenty of career milestones and trials this Oaks contender on the Knavesmire. He is yet to win the fillies' Classic, while owners Godolphin's most recent victor was Kazzia in 2002.
But there was lots to like about this Dubawi filly's debut, as she asserted her authority over a big field at Newbury. Strong at the finish there, she can put herself in the picture for Epsom by overturning likely favourite Emily Upjohn.
Owen Burrows has had three winners from his last four runners, form which puts MINZAAL in with a great shout for the 1895 Duke Of York Clipper Logistics Stakes (3.00). Last season appeared to be a fact-finding mission after a lay-off, but he was still capable of placing at Group 1 level.
GAASSEE is a similar type to William Haggas' 2021 winner of the Sky Bet Race To The Ebor Jorvik Handicap (1.50), while WOBWOBWOB has been successful at the track. Not beaten far off this mark first time up. Joanna Mason takes 3lb off and he'll appreciate the forecast strong pace.
SAMBURU's Group 1 entry makes a rating of 88 look generous for the Paddy Power 'Here For The Craic' Handicap (4.10). The Kingman colt is still a work of progress, however he did well to collar the leader off a slow pace on seasonal debut to score a shade cosily.
At Newton Abbot, TULIN appears well-handicapped on his Exeter run against Mack The Man, when a couple of sloppy jumps caught him out. Angus Cheleda takes off 5lb and back from wind surgery the five-year-old should take all the beating.
