Newsboy’s horseracing tips for Thursday’s four meetings, including Southwell Nap
Share:
SPIRIT OF JURA gets the vote to make a winning start in the sphere by beating four opponents for the Weekly Free Bets With BetMgM Extra Handicap (5.30) at Southwell on Thursday.The Charlie Johnston-trained daughter of Masar showed promise in three starts as a juvenile, her best effort being when she chased home Eazy On The Eye second time up at Wolverhampton in November.Spirit Of Jura had her first outing of 2025 in a one-mile novice stakes for fillies at Chelmsford City 12 days ago and, ridden as this evening by Hayley Turner, got off the mark at the fourth attempt, beating War And Love by three-quarters of a length.Spirit of Jura starts out in handicaps on an unchanged British Horseracing Authority mark of 69 – a mark looks within touching distance.
She also steps up to a mile and three furlongs, and on pedigree - she’s by a Derby hero out of a mare who scored in Listed company over a mile and three-quarters - the new strip should play to her strengths.David Simcock has started the year in red-hot form and HITCHED should add to the trainer’s haul by racking up a sixth all-weather success - and an eighth overall – in Southwell’s Boost Your Acca At BetMgM Handicap (7.00).
