Top Picks for Newmarket and York: Betting Insights for Saturday's Races
Summary
Saturday promises thrilling action at Newmarket, featuring key events like the Dewhurst Stakes and the Cesarewitch Handicap.
William Buick aims for another victory aboard Rock Montreal, who recently finished strongly in Listed company at Doncaster. However, I’m leaning towards AL JABBAR, trained by Charlie Appleby, who boasts a remarkable record in this race. After recovering from a debut setback, he won at Doncaster, showing impressive form and a strong finish, making him a compelling 8/1 bet.
Newmarket Tip 1:
- Al Jabbar – 1pt each-way @ 8/1 (bet365)
In the Dewhurst Stakes, DARKNESS FALLS stands out as the favorite after an impressive win in the Group 1 Golden Fleece Stakes. His ability to maintain a strong pace makes him a top contender, with a 15/8 win bet recommended. Desert Castle, unbeaten and next year’s 2,000 Guineas favorite, poses a significant challenge but may struggle with his tendency to hang left.
Dewhurst Stakes Tip:
- Darkness Falls – 1pt win @ 15/8 (bet365)
Over at York, the sprints typically favor those drawn in single figures. Coul Angel is in good form but faces tougher competition. I’m backing DARK THIRTY at 25/1, who has proven C&D success and could surprise with an each-way finish.
York Tip 1:
- Dark Thirty (York, 15.17) – 1pt each-way @ 25/1 (bet365)
In the Cesarewitch, DAWN RISING returns after a strong performance last year. Despite a mixed campaign, he’s poised for a comeback at 6/1 with Ryan Moore riding.
Newmarket Tip 2:
- Dawn Rising (Newmarket, 15.40) – 1pt each-way @ 6/1 (Unibet)
