Uk Betting Forum Common Race of Day

Just 6lbs between top and bottom shows just how tight the race is, a quick glance at Formscan shows the regularly beat each other but also shows SERGEANT PEP has the beating of many of these on recent efforts, that said he appears to run to a level that supports his rating....one to beat.

Looking for something outside the obvious and RARE CHANGE showed enough when winning at goodwood in early june to believe he can compete if running to something like his best, form figures 777 since but in higher classed races and a couple of them were at a reasonable level.
So RARE CHANGE for me but no bet.

Sergeant Pep hasn't won for a long time but he is consistent. He is 3-8 on soft or heavy ground and Rossa Ryan has finished four times in the places on him from just five rides.
Sergeant Pep carries 4lbs less than last time and he looks weighted to win off 3lbs lower than his last win under his ideal conditions.
