Timeform UK SmartPlays: Tuesday January 31

Timeform UK SmartPlays / Timeform / 31 January 2012 / Leave a Comment

Southwell is the venue for all three of Tuesday's SmartPlays.

"A cosy victory over course and distance last time will definitely hold Greenhead High in good stead this afternoon..."

Following on from a profitable few days, Timeform SmartPlays offer you a trio of bets on the fibresand at Southwell...

Aamen (13:30) is Timeform top-rated for the opening handicap, and for good reason with his career best having come over course and distance this time last year. He is two from three at this venue (his two wins gained by a combined total of 28 lengths) and he looks well capable of going close once again this afternoon off what looks to be a fair handicap mark. Brunello could give our selection the most to think about after two promising appearances of his own on the fibresand but, at the current prices, Aamen definitely looks the one to be siding with.

Cape Safari (15:00) just about sets the standard in the 1m maiden and, although she is no world-beater, she ought to be able to break her duck at the fourth time of asking. The form she has demonstrated so far puts her ahead of the field on Timeform ratings and, with none of the newcomers possessing any standout claims, Cape Safari must be the one they all have to beat. This is her first start on fibresand, but she seemed to handle Lingfield on her latest two starts and there is no reason to believe that Southwell will inconvenience her more than the others here.

The penultimate six furlong handicap at 16:00 might not take a great deal of winning and a cosy victory over course and distance last time (when also a SmartPlays selection) will definitely hold Greenhead High in good stead this afternoon. He is judged to be 1 lb superior to his nearest rival based on Timeform ratings and, if producing form up to his very best, he should go close in this. Greenhead High produced a career best last time, the manner of his victory on that occasion suggesting he may still have a bit in hand of his current mark, and another bold showing from the front is expected.
