Racing Tips – Arctic Mountain Can Open Account At Redcar

Mahboob was very poor yesterday and I’ve no idea what went wrong. I thought the horse was going okay but he quickly went backwards and in the blink of an eye, he wasn’t even in the camera shot.

Not much jumped out to me as a bet on Monday, which tends to be the case most Mondays as the racing is normally pants. After a bit of digging, I decided to have a small play on a horse running at Redcar.

Arctic Mountain 4/1 – Redcar 4:00

I fancy the chances of Arctic Mountain in this contest who should be competitive off a mark of 79 in this race.

Arctic Mountain is a lightly raced horse, having just four career starts to date. His first three starts in maiden and novice company were somewhat encouraging and they gave a platform to build on for trainer Saeed Bin Suroor.

I’m more than happy to draw a line through Arctic Mountain’s most recent outing as he appeared to be lacking race fitness.

He was making his handicap debut on that occasion and was a well-beaten third on the day despite going off favorite. I caught a replay of the race, and I don’t feel the horse coped well with the soft ground. I’m hoping a more sound surface will see him in a better light.

His run at Chelmsford last August was probably his best run and is a strong piece of form to take into this contest. He was beaten by a neck by the 88-rated Al Anoud who boosted the form by winning next time out under a penalty.
