Timeform UK SmartPlays: Saturday October 3

Two of our bets run at Newmarket on Saturday

Esoterique saw off the boys when winning the Prix Jacques le Marois, having previously pushed star sprinter Muhaarar close in the Prix Maurice de Gheest, and she can prove too good for her rivals in the Sun Chariot.

Timeform bring you bets from Newmarket and Redcar on an action-packed day of racing.

Newmarket 13:45 - Puzzled Look

Puzzled Look has a bit to find on the figures but she created a good impression when getting off the mark at Chepstow, remains open to plenty of progress, and may be capable of taking this step up in class in her stride. Both of Puzzled Look's starts to date have been over seven furlongs, but she is by July Cup winner Sakhee's Secret and seems to be blessed with plenty of pace, so the drop back in trip could even be a positive.


Redcar 15:00 - Mayfair Lady

Mayfair Lady turned a competitive-looking nursery into a procession when blitzing her rivals at York, and she should be forgiven an underwhelming effort at Salisbury last time, the softer ground playing against her strengths. The excellent visual impression Mayfair Lady created when winning by five lengths is backed up by a fast time, and she can provide in-form trainer Richard Fahey with another big Saturday success.


Newmarket 15:30 - Esoterique

Esoterique saw off the boys when winning the Prix Jacques le Marois, having previously pushed star sprinter Muhaarar close in the Prix Maurice de Gheest, and she can prove too good for her rivals in the Sun Chariot. Esoterique could finish only fourth in last year's Sun Chariot, but she was inconvenienced by the muddling nature of the race, pulling too hard off the steady pace, and she seems to be an improved performer this season in any case.
