Redbud Sixteen (IRE) won the 20:35 Newbury at SP 3.50. Ridden by Harry Vigors. Trained by Charlie Pike.
No — the AI top pick (Harlington) was a non-runner or unplaced.
Top finishers: 1. Redbud Sixteen (IRE) (3.50), 2. Raintown (IRE) (29.00), 3. Shady Bay (IRE) (5.00).
The winning time was 2m 15.76s, 1.34s faster than standard.
Redbud Sixteen took a handicap at a lower mark nine days ago with authority, and Harry Vigors's three-pound claim takes much of the edge off her penalty; she handles a variety of ground conditions and trips and looks well placed to build on that success. Expressionless ran a long way below his level on soft last time but has previous course form and is much more effective on a faster surface — he holds strong each-way claims. Shady Bay ran a sound third last time and remains on a fair mark. Redbud Sixteen is our selection.
