Daily Nap October 22: Brazen Akoya the bold choice at Newcastle
Higher Power ridden by Tom Queally (centre) wins the Stobart Rail Northumberland Plate Handicap during the Betfred Northumberland Plate Day at Newcastle Racecourse.
Planet Sport tipster Pete Farries is back in Newcastle for his daily nap on Friday, October 22.
7.00 Newcastle - Brazen Akoya
Looking at this race the obvious bet, or at least what SHOULD be the obvious bet leaps out.
Pocket the Profit for the Boughey yard is on for a five timer and is looking pretty unstoppable...however, Brazen Akoya is actually the pick in this action at Newcastle.
Was second beyond Pocket The Profit at Wolverhampton a couple of weeks back, and has also had a good recent win at Wolverhampton.
Hasn't yet run or won at Newcastle, and yes going up against Pocket The Profit hasn't yet been successful. Is eased a little in the weights for this one whereas Pocket the Profit is carrying a treble penalty.
I think Brazen Akoya is the one to be backing here, and the one to get in the way of Pocket The Profit's five timer attempt.
If Pocket the Profit heads off at odds against I get why people would be backing that, I think the value and the bet lies with Brazen Akoya.
