Saturday's Best Bets: Don't be bad, be Habbad

Tippin' Jimmy runs us through the best bets from Saturday's racing.

1:55 Doncaster - Habbad
Tom Marquand and Richard Hannon team up in Yorkshire with Habbad, who has been a tad disappointing this season but could be back to his best today. He was a good nursery winner at the end of last year, but he hasn't built on that promise. He's received another drop in the weights, and today might be the day for him. Discovered is a danger.

2:25 Newbury - Crimean Tatar
Hugo Palmer thinks very highly of this horse and he could be able to return to his best. He wasn't beaten too far in the John Porter Stakes here not too long ago, and in that run figured that an extra furlong could help him out. He hasn't been seen since his disappointing effort in the Yorkshire Cup. He comes back off a break, but could still run a big race.

3:00 Newbury - Sun Lover
One horse who will certainly win off a mark of 89 is Sun Lover. This very well-bred son of Oasis Dream has been unlucky on both starts this season when a runner-up at York and Doncaster. He hasn't been tested on soft ground, but he's experienced good to soft. The more the ground dries out the better.

3:40 Doncaster - Vibrant Chords
I like Henry Candy's horse an awful lot, and I would be hoping he can return to winning ways this afternoon. He didn't run his race at Goodwood, but today's conditions look ideal and he can continue to improve. My only concern is that he is top weight, and as a little horse he may struggle to carry it.
