Here’s our recommended horse racing tip for Saturday’s racing:
West Balboa to Win (2/1)
14:40 Warwick
Saturday, February 8th
Finishing a respectable 4th on her last run in December when going off at 12/1 at Kempton, West Balboa drops down in trip to 2m5f this weekend, she has ran over this distance 3 times in her career and has won on 2 of these outings.
Her sole appearance at Warwick ended in victory, and coming up against only 2 real challengers here, she looks a nice price to go 2/2. Gala Marceau (5/4 Fav) hasn’t ran since May, while You Wear It Well (4/1), has struggled for any kind of form all season.
Coming back after a 6-week break, West Balboa should appear in good order, while first time cheekpieces should draw some further improvement. Notably, Harry Skelton is back on board after being absent from the saddle for West Balboa’s last 2 races.
