Thursday racing tips feature selections from Newmarket and Perth.

talkSPORT have gone through the race cards and form so you don’t have to, with betting tips on the UK racing.

Gordon Elliott’s runner has seen plenty of interest as this even money favourite is likely to go off clear odds-on.

Going off at a mark of 120 is an indication of where this horse should be at the end of this race and the rest of the field haven’t been winning like Country Queen has.

She won her first hurdle race at the first time of asking earlier this month and looks set to keep improving – also has some solid form on the national hunt flat to boost her chances in this inexperienced contest.

Gowel Road might be the big favourite here but Statuario under James Bowen has won over this course and distance before and is given 18lb by the top-weight.

Although he’s won just one chase before he’s also placed in six with many of those coming this season including in the Grade 3 Summer Plate in July.

Should follow up that much-needed win last time with another go on course and distance and has less question marks than Gowel Road going into chasing for the first time.

Third run since a wind-op could show even more signs of improvement, building on the second place and win since the surgery.

Puts her in great stead to take this class 2 event in a weaker 0-105 handicap.

Only four runners in the first group meeting at Newmarket this week but it should be a fascinating battle considering there’s not much to split between the three leaders in the market.

Victory Dance looks like the one to beat under in-form trainer Charlie Appleby and jockey William Buick, but Nostrum with only one race to go on looks a promising colt in the Juddmonte colours for Sir Michael Stoute.

Holloway Boy surprised everyone at Royal Ascot winning at 40/1 and showed that was no fluke with a close second in a Group 2 in the Vintage at Goodwood.

But that debut win for Nostrum was that good it’s definitely a big sign for the Kingman colt’s potential and should be up there today.

Ryan Moore rides two big contenders today in Nostrum and the favourite in this one Thunderous for Charlie & Mark Johnston.

The five-year-old will go off the same mark as when he notched an impressive second place behind Stradivarius in May and with the group runs since should find this listed contest much more doable.

Won comfortably in the hands of PJ McDonald at Chester in July but when stepped up into this sphere next time in August finished far back.

But that can be excused as he was reported to be sweating and struggling with the heat that day and deserves another chance in more favourable conditions, at a great price considering.

This is a strong Class 2 contest and given his two wins since being gelded should have more to offer among this company, including over his stablemate and the favourite Open Champion.

The three-year-old is also being given a stone from the two Godolphin runners and could capitalise for Andrew Balding.
