Friday's Best Bets: Harbour can be Rock solid at Brighton

Tippin' Jimmy has his three best bets for Friday's racing.

2:10 Brighton - Lake Volta (5/4)
Normally a race of unraced two-year-olds is always hard to pick, and it was even worse at Glorious Goodwood with the awful conditions in Sussex. A lot of good horses will come out and win next time out, and I expect that to be the case for Lake Volta. He finished seventh, but is bred well and showed some promise in running. He should show his true colours this afternoon.

3:40 Brighton - Harbour Rock (13/8)
A progressive three-year-old for David Simcock and Qatar Racing is Harbour Rock. He finished a close second at this track last year, before breaking his maiden in impressive style at Goodwood. On his handicap debut, he ran very well to finish second. The speed he finished the race indicated a slightly longer trip would be perfect, he gets that today. Unchanged from that mark, he's got a big chance.

8:10 Newmarket - Waqaas (9/2)
In the closing handicap this nicely-bred Charlie Hills prospect can make a bold claim. He won his maiden well, but found a quality field too good in the Richmond Stakes last year. On his return he only finished midfield in a hot race, and the run should benefit him today. A fitter Waqaas, and a more suitable race could see him back in the winner's enclosure.

£5 Trixie returns £308.
