Timeform UK SmartPlays: Friday October 9

Friday's SmartPlays all run at Newmarket

"Promising Run improved another chunk when taking the Rockfel over seven furlongs here two weeks ago and is preferred to Minding, who beat subsequent Prix Marcel Boussac winner Ballydoyle in a Group 1 at the Curragh last month."

Timeform's SmartPlays team focus on Newmarket for Friday's best bets.

Alamode - 14:05 Newmarket

Alamode had subsequent Rockfel winner Promising Run back in third when winning her maiden at Glorious Goodwood and Marcus Tregoning's filly could be the answer in what looks a tricky race to call. First Victory and Queen's Trust head a number of other potential players.

Promising Run - 15:10 Newmarket

Promising Run improved another chunk when taking the Rockfel over seven furlongs here two weeks ago and is preferred to Minding, who beat subsequent Prix Marcel Boussac winner Ballydoyle in a Group 1 at the Curragh last month. The supplemented Nathra looks best of the others.

Keep In Line - 15:45 Newmarket

Keep In Line put up a near-smart effort (backed up by an impressive timefigure) when getting up close home in a Newbury handicap last month, pulling well clear of the remainder with another in-form rival, so he makes appeal despite a big weight. Duretto and Wonder Laish are both open to further improvement, while Argus isn't overlooked either in a competitive handicap.
