Wednesday Leicester each-way racing tip: Razzo Italiano ready to spring another surprise

Our Tipstrr racing pundit has been scouring Wednesday's race card for each-way value, and thinks that a quick return to the track suggests optimism among connections of Razzo Italiano.

13:25 (Leicester) Razzo Italiano

Razzo Italiano has run twice on the soft conditions that are expected here, once on debut when finishing fifth of six, and once in November at Southwell, when he romped home by nearly four lengths for his only victory so far.

This is a tougher Class 4 race, and at first glance his last two outings do not look too promising, although he did end up a respectable enough fifth out of 10 runners last time out, despite being held up and not running too fluently.

Prior to that he did run poorly, and possibly that it was either down to the horse not liking the Uttoxeter track (two disappointing outings there), or down to the heavy conditions on the day, when he finished eleventh of 13, so we can perhaps give that one a pass.

Probability wise I would say the 50/1 price that i was able to get early doors was over-priced value, and moving further back and past the two recent disappointments, he won at 33/1 at Southwell, and that win also came after some bad prior form, so he's no stranger to springing a surprise at tasty odds.

Today he runs off the same mark as last time out, but jockey Tabitha Worsley comes back on board with a further three-pound claimer, which should work to his advantage and put him right in the mix, as it was she who piloted him to that only win to date.
One final significant factor is that Razzo Italiano is Gary Hanmers' only runner today, and has been his only winner since November, which suggests extra attention could well have gone into this horse to bring him back to the track after just four days off.

He should be fit and ready for the challenge, with the first-time visor possibly adding an additional benefit, and with the trainer/jockey combination at 17%, I would say anything over 14/1 offers potential value here.
