ALPINE MISTRAL – 6.35pm RIPON

0.5 PTS EACH WAY BET ADVISED AT 8/1 AVAILABLE WITH BETFRED WHO ARE PAYING 4 PLACES

Alpine Mistral is generally available at 8/1 but BETFRED are the only bookmaker paying 4 places at that price. William Hill are also paying 4 places on this race but are only currently offering 13/2.

I liked Alpine Mistral’s last run over this trip at Leicester on her handicap debut where she put in an improved performance possibly helped by the application of first-time cheek-pieces (retained). She finished a running on 7.75 lengths 4th of 12 on that occasion but would have been even closer but for being stopped in her run at a critical time just as the pace quickened about 3 furlongs out. The race was run in a comparatively fast time being a full 2.2 seconds faster than the other race over a mile at the track on the day. This lightly-raced 3 year old filly was surprisingly dropped 4lb for that run and, with a little improvement, looks weighted to go close today. Each way advised at the price in this 12-runner race with the 4 places available with BETFRED looking the best offer available. Good luck!
