Rivals clashing at Old Trafford tonight and racing in Roscommon this evening – this is where it all happens for JOE’s punts today.
It would be a major shock if Manchester United couldn’t get off to a winning start tonight in their opener of the season against Championship winners and old rivals Newcastle United.
Perhaps if Newcastle had home advantage for this one there could be more chance of an upset but at Old Trafford it’s difficult to see anything but a win for Man United.
We’re going for Manchester United to win 2-0 at 9/2.
In racing, we’re looking to the only Irish meeting of the day in Roscommon this evening for a winner.
The Irish Stallion Farms E.B.F. Fillies Handicap at 6.50 over 1m 2f is an interesting contest which features an in-form Harry Rogers runner, STRANDFIELD LADY.
She’s won three times already this year, loves this particular trip, and from an inside draw she ticks all the right boxes.
Strandfield Lady will do enough to see of the challenge of Hanakiyya and cross the line in front at 5/1.
JOE’s Daily Double: Man United to beat Newcastle 2-0 at 9/2 and Strandfield Lady in the 6.50 at Roscommon at 5/1.
