Droopys Country and Pinpoint Den among TV tips for Belle Vue

Clondoty Alex also has a great record when sporting the red jacket and is a really tenacious sort who is difficult to pass once in front.

The key to this will be whether he boss in the inside and turn the first bend in front, and I think he is drawn to do just that.

Pinpoint Den a solid punt

T5 Pinpoint Den is a real class act and rates a solid punt to land heat five of the RPGTV Laurels (20:26).

Kelly Macari’s dog showed what he is capable of when flashing from the lids to land an all the way three length success over Tynwald Baz in the final of the Steel City Cup at Sheffield.

He has since had just two competitive starts and was impressive in the last of those when very quickly away and making all to beat Shaneboy Freddie by 3 1/4 lengths in the Terry Meynell Memorial Trophy at Newcastle.

If starting in similar fashion and leading-up I can’t see anything being capable of picking up Pinpoint Den.

Huarache Finn hot stuff in Oaks qualifiers

T6 Huarache Finn impressed when scoring on debut over course and distance last week and looks worth a wager to follow-up in heat one of the second round of the RPGTV Oaks (20:58).

Kevin Huttun’s charge produced a 4.37 sectional before taking up the running at the third to pull clear and score by three lengths from the re-opposing Sporting Melody.

He showed good track craft to get the job done in style, and although Sporting Melody got crowded on a couple of occasions I thought Huarache Finn was a worthy winner.

There is also plenty of pace on the inside for Melody to overcome from Trap 3, and the selection looks nicely drawn as the sole wide to steer clear and capitalise on any scrimmaging.
