Brighton Tips: Smoothtalkingrascal

Brighton Tips: Smoothtalkingrascal

Hasn’t won for over two years but has tumbled down the weights and races in a class 5 handicap for the first time

This time two years ago Smoothtalkingrascal was rated 106 and although he is without a win in even longer there comes a point where his handicap mark allows him to win again.

In the 5.15 Brighton he races off a career low mark of 70 but crucially it means he can race in a 0-70 handicap for the first time. The 6-year-old isn’t as good as he once was but I don’t think the decline is terminal.


On the 9 October he finished eighth at Wolverhampton but was only beaten 3.75 lengths and was badly hampered when trying to make his run from the rear. His fast closing sectional suggests some ability still remains and he may have the race set-up for him.

A previous winner on good to soft he should handle any cut and Brighton’s stiff finish means the field could come back to him.
