Newsboy's horse racing selections for Wednesday's four meetings, including Brighton nap
Newsboy reckons his best bet of the day, Summertime Blues, will be on-song at Brighton in the 2.45, and he also rates The Good Biscuit at Pontefract (5.08) SUMMERTIME BLUES (2.45, Nap) can give punters plenty to smile about in the 6f Download The Star Sports App Handicap at Brighton today. The three-year-old son of Pinatabu is a late developer, making his debut at Chelmsford City in May. He finished tenth of 15 that day in a very competitive maiden over a mile, with the victor, Arabian Story, winning the Britannia Stakes at Royal Ascot on his next run. Archie Watson then sent him to Doncaster, where he again finished down the field, this time to Remmooz, who finished fourth in the Jersey Stakes at the royal meeting. Following another disappointing effort when dropped in grade at Ffos Las, he improved considerably on his handicap debut at Windsor 11 days ago, when a length-and-a-quarter second to Pure Artistry over today's trip. Wearing cheekpieces today – and with Hollie Doyle on board – the gelding has a great chance to score a first win. At Pontefract over 6f, THE GOOD BISCUIT (5.08, nb) took advantage of a drop in the weights for a course and distance success 19 days ago, despite a troubled passage en route. The Ruth Carr-trained four-year-old has been given a 4lb rise for that success, but with the yard in great form, he can follow up.

Newsboy's racing tips for Wednesday's four meetings, including Worcester nap
Newsboy expects his nap, Gone In Sixty, to score again at Worcester in the 5.25, and he also rates The Good Biscuit a tasty morsel at Thirsk in the 3.33 GONE IN SIXTY (5.25, nap) can complete back-to-back wins in the five minutes it will take to complete the 2m4f handicap hurdle at Worcester on Wednesday. It took 17 runs for the seven-year-old to open his account but now he has found his form, he can stay on an upward curve. Under Alice Stevens at Fakenham, Alex Hales's charge benefitted from a patient ride to take the lead before the last hurdle and stretching away to a 14 length victory. Gone In Sixty has finished either second or third in all five appearances at Worcester and can add a win to that record. At Thirsk THE GOOD BISCUIT (3.33, nb) looks a tasty bet in division one of the 7f handicap. Four of his five starts for Ruth Carr have come over 6f but he could be a different proposition now returned to 7f at this track. He tried the trip back in May when he was given plenty to do yet nevertheless made every effort to make up the ground only to meet traffic over 1f out. He finished seventh, beaten less than five lengths, but now lines up 7lb lower in the handicap. Tuck in.
