A busy Monday and here are the thoughts of our Racing Factors tipster.
Ripon
J: D Allan
T: T D Easterby
Garden Oasis might be in the twilight of his racing career but he seems determined to go out fighting. His form figures this season read 43132 and he looks to be on a handicap mark that should see him competitive once more. On his last outing he tried to make all the running at Carlisle and almost succeeded but for a late surge from his stablemate Barley (2nd since) who beat him by 2 lengths. That run showed Garden Oasis is in good heart and he should be able to make the most of his golden draw in stall 1 today. It can often pay to front run on the round course at Ripon, and Garden Oasis has a very healthy Racing Factors rating of 35% at the track, he could easily make all to win. Garden Oasis rates a 5 star win Pick.
