Epsom Derby Tips and Best Bets
Most of the main players in the Epsom Derby this year fit the key trends – like having run in the last 5 weeks, having raced no more than 5 times and finishing first or second last time out.
However, the draw is now out and with 13 of the last 20 Derby winners (65%) coming from a single-figure draw this might be seen as a negative for the likely Epsom Derby favourite – Desert Crown – who has been handed draw 12.
While another of the better-faniced runners- Changingoftheguard – has also been given a high draw in 16.
Therefore, it was no shock to see these two horses drift out slightly in the Epsom Derby betting market once the draws were announced.
16 of the last 20 Derby winners had won at Group level in the past, so the recently supplemented Godolphin runner – Nations Pride – will need to overcome these as he’s only won at Listed class before.
The Frankie Dettori-ridden PIZ BADILE @ 10/1 with BetUK has been handed draw 7 and is a past Group 3 winner, so ticks a fair few boxes so is one for the shortlist, while WESTOVER (e/w) @ 28/1 with BetUK , who won the Classic Trial at Sandown last time (G3) is drawn low in 2 and seems to tick a lot of the main stats to give him a squeak as a lively outsider.
But the main Derby pick based on the trends has to be the Aidan O’Brien runner – STONE AGE @ 9/2 with BetUK The yard have won this race 8 times and with jockey Ryan Moore picking this one of the O’Brien runners then this is another plus.
He was super impressive in winning the G3 Derby Trial at Leopardstown last month (5 1/2 lengths) and is now 2-from-2 since being stepped up to 1m2f. Breeding (Galileo) also suggests the step up again to 1m4f will suit, with the only main trend that goes against him is having had 7 previous runs.
That is a slight worry, but since being raised in trip he’s clearly improved and from those opening 7 runs has only finished out of the first three once. Draw 4 looks ideal and having last won the Derby in 2013 it’s about time Moore lands another one!
