The team at PicksfromthePaddock.co.uk preview today's racing and give their best bet of the day.
19:40 Chelmsford
Ryan Moore rarely rides for trainer David O'Meara so on paper alone it's an eye-catching jockey booking to say the least. Six year old That Is The Spirit has only tackled an artificial surface once in his career and although he finished down the field that was in a much more competitive race than this. The O'Meara yard are flying with five winners out of twenty runners recently and they look to have a great chance with a horse who's got a 100% strike rate in this grade.
Of the rivals you can't discount previous course and distance winner Outer Space who's been mightily consistent with a win and two second place finishes in his last three starts.
Punters should also be wary of the bottom weight Comedy School. This lightly raced three year old has plenty of scope for improvement and represents top connections so shouldn't be far away.
THAT IS THE SPIRIT (WIN)

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
