ITV RACING | Three Value Picks to consider for Saturday’s racing
The team have made their selections for the contests scheduled to be aired on ITV on Saturday afternoon
Flat fans are treated to a top-class day of racing on Saturday, with ITV showing eight races from Kempton, Haydock and Ascot.
Coverage begins with the Superior Mile Stakes at Haydock at 1:45 and concludes with a 7f Handicap at Ascot at 3:45.
Our team have taken a look through the schedule, in hope of pinning down some value across the contests.
Here are three selections to consider from ITV Racing’s coverage on Saturday.
INDIANAPOLIS – 2:55 HAYDOCK (10/1 – Ladbrokes)
Under the guidance of Ian Williams, Indianapolis could well be an undetected threat in the Old Borough Cup at Haydock.
The six-year-old has slipped down the ratings since joining Williams’ yard and he is now 12lbs below his last winning mark.
He gave a respectable effort when finishing third over C&D last September and he could well be in the mix here, with his price of 10/1 holding some each-way value.
AURIFEROUS – 3:10 ASCOT (12/1 – PP + Betfair)
Sitting at the appealing mark of 79, Auriferous could produce a big effort in the Lavazza Stakes at Ascot.
Andrew Balding’s gelding ran well behind a useful rival at Newbury last time out and he remains at the same mark for this contest.
With a 3lb claimer in the saddle, the three-year-old could run well again here with his 12/1 price tag looking interesting.
EMARAATY ANA – 3:30 HAYDOCK (25/1 – Coral)
At the whopping price of 25/1, Emaraaty Ana screams each-way value in the Sprint Cup Stakes.
Kevin Ryan’s gelding showed some progress over the minimum distance on his last two starts, landing a comfortable success in a conditions stakes before taking second at 40/1 in the Group 1 Nunthorpe Stakes.
He has 5lbs to find on Starman, but he could well be among the places in this contest at least.
