From a betting point of view at Pontefract Racecourse, there are a couple of things that you need to watch out for when looking for an angle. The first thing is the draw, which can be so vital around this venue. Being drawn on the inside is generally a major positive especially over sprint trips. Another thing is the pace angle – it is a course that typically suits a front-runner. Below are three horses drawn low that should have huge chances on Tuesday.
Invincible Boy was beaten only a length on his York debut over this 6f trip in October 0n good ground. He wasn’t as good next time at Doncaster in very testing conditions but arrives here on the back of a nice break and will have an ideal draw in stall 4 to attack from. Two of the three rivals drawn lower than him are making their racecourse debuts so he should get out fast and make use of the rail.
Dark Cloud Rising won a 6f handicap on this card on his return to action last year off 85 and although 7lb higher in the weights now, he must have a big chance here on reappearance. He won over the flying 5f at Newcastle in November and was fifth there in a blanket finish when last seen. He can attack from stall 3 here.
Miss Magic Dragon is a well-bred Ardad filly who is bred to be very useful. She didn’t show a whole lot in three all-weather starts last year but is worthy of watching in the betting on her handicap/turf debut here from a beautiful draw in stall 2.
