Russian War’s victory yesterday has boosted the confidence of the JOE punditry team, so we’re banking on a David Evans runner at Lingfield and a Liverpool stalemate to do the business for us today.
Following on from our racing tip success yesterday with Russian War landing the 5.20 in Ffos Las at a returned price of 5/2, we’re going to switch our attention to the all-weather at Lingfield today and David Evans’ runner in the 3.30, six furlong dash.
VHUJON is bang on form at the moment after wins in Bath and Nottingham in recent weeks and is never far away from the money. The highly-regarded amateur jockey Adam Beschizza was on board 11 days ago when Vhujon succeeded at Bath and he takes the ride on the five-year-old again this afternoon.
It looks like a pretty open contest with Kieren Fallon booked to ride Dubai Media but, on form, Vhujon has what it takes to zip home at 4/1.
Liverpool will be without star duo Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres, as well as Daniel Agger and Maxi Rodriguez when they take on Trabzonspor in the return leg of their Europa League qualifier in Turkey this evening.
Roy Hodgson has made no secret of where the competition lies in his priorities this season, but despite his lack of enthusiasm and the absence of a number of key players, we reckon Liverpool will scrape through.
After Joe Cole’s missed penalty at Anfield, Liverpool hold a slender one goal advantage from the first leg, meaning that they need only a draw to progress and we have a feeling that’s exactly what they’ll get. A share of the spoils can be backed at 9/4.
JOE’s Daily Double: Vhujon (Lingfield 3.30 @ 4/1) and Liverpool to draw with Trabzonspor @ 9/4.
