3.30 Southwell, Tuesday, December 18
There’s no shortage of betting options today and here is our racing tips UK primary selection for the day. In the Follow Top Tipster Templegate at Sun Racing Handicap (3.30) at Southwell on Tuesday, One MoreChance won her maiden, for David Brown, over course and distance in January and ran her best race since joining new trainer Michael Appleby in October over course and distance 18 days ago. On that occasion, having just her second start since July, the Epaulette filly kept on at one pace to finish fourth of 11, beaten 5¼ lengths, behind Zodiakos; the first three home that day have all been beaten since, but One More Chance pulled nicely clear of the fourth horse and the form looks respectable enough in the context of another unexceptional race, especially as she’s been dropped 2lb in theweights in the interim.
Fitness-wise, she should be spot on after two runs last month and, having made her own running more than once – including when winning her maiden – she should have no problem tactically. From a handicapping perspective, One More Chance is now 7lb lower in the weights than when fourth of six, beaten 3¾ lengths, in a small 0-70 fillies’ handicap at Leicester on her final start for David Brown in July so, although that performance came over 6 furlongs, rather than a mile, she looks well treated in this 0-65 affair. Course and distance clearly suit her admirably so, granted luck in running, she should give us a decent run for our money.
Selection: Southwell 3.30 OneMore Chance to win 7/1
