Newsboy's horseracing tips for Tuesday's three meetings, including Musselburgh Nap
Newsboy fancies his nap, Oasis Diamond, to prove a real gem at Musselburgh and also expects Calafiori can score at Wolverhampton and complete his Daily Double
OASIS DIAMOND (2.30, Nap) looks set to shine in the Celebrating The Musselburgh Festival 2025 Nursery over five furlongs on Tuesday afternoon. The daughter of Oasis Dream, trained by Michael and David Easterby, was considered good enough to race in the Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot in June.
And although down the field, finishing 10 and a half lengths behind the winner Havana Hurricane, she was then well backed last time out in a Class 6 Nursery at Catterick. Always prominent, she disputed the lead from a furlong out and ran on well to hold off Gillali Lass to score by a head. Back in the same class again today, the two-year-old is fancied to follow up.
On the All-Weather at Wolverhampton, CALAFIORI (7.00, nb) can make amends for an unlucky second last time by taking the HighBet Acca Odds Boost Nursery under Billy Loughnane. The George Boughey-trained gelding was beaten a short-head by Dinamo at Thirsk last week after getting caught in a pocket and hampering rivals.
Although he ran on strongly once in the open, the line came just too soon for him and he had to settle for second.
With a clearer run today, the son of Ardad is expected to gain compensation.
