Tony Calvin Newmarket Tips For Saturday 15th July 23
- 2:50pm – bet365 Mile Handicap Cl2 (3yo 0-100) 1m ITV: COCO JACK (e/w) @ 14/1 with Paddy Power
First up for Tony Calvin on Day 3 of the Newmarket July Festival comes in the bet365 Mile Handicap at 2:50pm. The Betfair man is siding with an each-way fancy in the shape of Coco Jack at odds of 14/1 with the best horse racing betting sites.
The likely lads in here are Tafreej, Royal Dubai and Havana Blue, but they dominate the market and Calvin have been sucked in by Coco Jack, in first-time cheekpieces.
He hasn’t won since scoring at Hamilton last August but he has run consistently well in defeat since – a reproduction of his second to Lion Of War at Musselburgh on his penultimate start would see him be very competitive here – and perhaps the headgear could be the missing piece of the winning jigsaw.
George Scott is only five from 51 with first-time cheekpieces though and it seems like he wouldn’t want any significant rain for the horse (though even good to soft would surely be fine, as he has plenty of form on that) but Calvin has to take a pop at him at the price.
The stable is going along okay, with 16/1 and 15/2 winners of late, and hopefully it can all fall in place for him here.
He has looked on a few occasions as if some headgear would help straighten him out, including in the Golden Gates at Royal Ascot last time. There isn’t a lot of pace in here – hopefully Coco Jack can travel kindly and sit handy.
- 4:35pm – Pertemps Network July Cup Stakes (Group 1) (British Champions Series) Cl1 (3yo+) 6f ITV: KINROSS @ 4/1 with Paddy Power
Next up for Tony Calvin is his best bet for the featured race of the entire Newmarket July Festival – the July Cup. For the showpiece race, Calvin is siding with Kinross for trainer Ralph Beckett at 4/1 odds with the best horse racing betting apps.
There is no doubt in Calvin’s mind that Kinross brings the best form to the table as it stands. However, he is slightly worried about whether Kinross has the pace to win over a quick 6f here. You won’t see him asserting until well inside the final furlong, but Calvin likes his chances and any significant rain on top of heavily-watered ground will be in his favour.
He clearly goes on quick ground – he won the City Of York Stakes on good to firm and was an unlucky third from a wide draw in the Breeders’ Cup Mile on officially firm in November – but a bit of ease would suit him over this trip.
The dual Group 1 winner has several pieces of form that should really have him heading the market here – he was very good when winning the Prix de la Foret and the Champions Sprint at Ascot in October – and it is just a matter of how forgiving you are about his comeback run behind Khaadem in the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot.
