Leading horse racing advisor Andrew Mount contributes to various Racing Post publications including the Weekender and Racing & Football Outlook, plus the GG.co.uk website. Unearthing value bets via handy systems and statistics, he shares his latest thoughts with SportsCasting readers below.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Andrew found winners at 16-1 and 11-4 in his column on Thursday and has three more stats-based selections on Friday, August 16th…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

EPSOM 1.40<\/h2>\n

SABRIMENTO (system \u2013 Brian Meehan, gelded since last run, turf handicaps)<\/h3>\n

Since the beginning of 2015, Brian Meehan\u2019s turf handicappers who were having their first start since a gelding operation are nine from 39 (23.1% strike-rate) for a profit of \u00a320.50 to a \u00a31 level stake at SP (expected winners = 3.67, A\/E = 2.45). SABRIMENTO<\/strong> looked in need of a step up in trip when a 20-1 sixth in a 6f maiden on the turf at Lingfield in mid-May and could be worth chancing on his nursery debut now that he\u2019s been gelded.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

WOLVERHAMPTON 1.50<\/h2>\n

COVERBRIDGE (system \u2013 Calyx, 2yos on the all-weather)<\/h3>\n

Juvenile progeny of the sire Calyx have an 11 from 42 record on the all-weather (26.2% strike-rate) for a profit of \u00a3119.72 to a \u00a31 level stake at SP (expected winners = 5.21, A\/E = 2.11) and COVERBRIDGE<\/strong> looks the value call against the odds-on favourite New Bombay. That rival has yet to race on synthetics whereas COVERBIDGE<\/strong> won well at Newcastle in June on his sole all-weather assignment. Phil Makin\u2019s colt could only finish a five-length third in a Leicester nursery last time but the return to Tapeta could see him resume his progression.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

WOLVERHAMPTON 4.45<\/h2>\n

BUSBY (system \u2013 Hollie Doyle riding for Phil Kirby in all-weather handicaps)<\/h3>\n

Hollie Doyle has a useful strike-rate when riding for the Phil Kirby yard, scoring on eight of the 44 runners (18.2%). In all-weather handicaps only, the score is eight from 29 for a profit of \u00a311.04 to a \u00a31 level stake at SP. BUSBY<\/strong>\u2019s 14-1 fifth at Newcastle last time was worthy of an upgrade \u2013 he fared second best of the prominent racers in a 1m2f handicap run to suit the closers \u2013 and while the step back up to 1m4f is a slight concern, he looks worth chancing at around the 7-1 mark.<\/p>\n
