Timeform UK SmartPlays: Thursday September 17

Our first Smartplay on Thursday comes from Pontefract

"Carpe Vita - 17:05 Ayr - could well be the type to run up a sequence."

Timeform bring you three bets from three different venues on Thursday...

Hookergate Grammar - 16:20 Pontefract

Hookergate Grammar shapes as if this test will suit and he can open his account. Aviator has been in good heart over hurdles and is considered back on the level, while Riptide should give it his usual good shot around here.


Carpe Vita - 17:05 Ayr

Carpe Vita, a full-sister to none other than Leading Light, unsurprisingly relished the step up in trip when scoring at Redcar for her new yard last month, and she could well be the type to run up a sequence. Bayan Kasirga ran her best race of the campaign at Newcastle last time, and she is feared most, ahead of Sir Chauvelin who remains relatively low-mileage.


Intrigue - 21:20 Chelmsford

Intrigue has some good maiden form and promises to do a lot better now handicapping. Duke of Dunton likely has races in him from his current mark judged on his last couple of efforts, while Bath-winner Nouvelle Ere can go well again under Tom Marquand.
