Hello Racing fans and welcome back! I have 6 selections for you to get stuck into for Friday’s racing. Just to mention firstly that there is now a weekly recap show where I will review all of my selections from the previous week, so head over to my YouTube channel to check that out.
Below are my selections for Friday, and I advise backing these in a Lucky63, along with an extra single on my NAP. Thank you for all of your support so far, and don't forget to check out my socials @gingerjoeracing on YouTube, Instagram, Twitter & Facebook for daily updates!

Selection 1 (Lucky 63) | SPREADSHEET 1.50 Brighton - WIN @ 5/2
J: Charlie Bennett / T: Jim Boyle
SPREADSHEET is my first selection for Friday’s racing and he could get us off to a good start for the day as I am quite sweet on these 6 selections. In all fairness to SPREADSHEET, he hasn't been the most straightforward however he has taken good advantage of a reduced mark on his latest two starts. He won over C&D on his penultimate start and backed this up by running really well last time out at Salisbury on the drop back to 5 furlongs.
He possibly found it a tad too short and I think he’s slightly more suited to 6 furlongs especially back here at Brighton. He runs off an unchanged mark back up in trip and he looks good value for his price with Charlie Bennett on board. His latest runs were on good to soft but he has form on better ground and loves it here. He’s well treated and a big player.
Selection 2 (Lucky 31) | AZANO 3.20 Thirsk - WIN @ 11/4
J: Daniel Tudhope / T: David O'Meara
AZANO has run really well in defeat since joining the O’Meara stable this year placing in 4 of his 6 starts to date. I am quite sweet on him in this and think the race and conditions set up perfectly for him. He has some good form to bring into this race and generally does his racing over a mile but will probably prefer the drop back to 7 furlongs that he gets here.
He will also be suited by the good ground as per his pedigree and I think this is the first time since joining the stable that he will actually get his optimum conditions. He was a really good third behind Brunch last time out and that form stacks up really well against a couple of these.
Based on that effort alone I would have AZANO ahead of these with LORD OF THE LODGE likely to be the main danger. These two along with PRINCE EIJI could have beaten each other in their own preferred conditions but this time I would give the nod to my selection AZANO. He’s a likeable type and I think he will be hard to pass in these conditions.
Selection 3 (Lucky 15) | GOLDIE HAWK 8.25 Haydock - WIN @ 9/2
J: Andrea Atzeni / T: Chris Wall
GOLDIE HAWK is a wonderful looking filly and clearly on the up this season following a really progressive campaign last year as a 3y-o. She finished off her 3y-o campaign by winning three really valuable handicaps between 1m2f and 1m4f and was emphatic in victory.
Seemingly getting better with each run and the progression has resumed this year also. I have to mention I am staggered at the price. I think she should be half that on the basis of what she's done to date. Her rivals are decent animals but I’m sure the prices are wrong for this and I actually think GOLDIE HAWK should be halved in price for this. She finished a really good runner up on her seasonal debut this year and then finished a close third to Valyrian Steel next time out and you guys already know what I think of him.
He himself went on to win three on the bounce from there. She didn't stop improving there though, she went on to decisively beat Mafia Power next time out at Windsor in June and was strong at the finish that day. Another personal best next time out which is in fact her latest run where she finished 2 lengths behind the progressive Boltaway and was unlucky not to finish closer still.
Made a challenge and was caught short of room and even though she finished an unridden horse the time was still the quickest she has produced to date. She comes into this effectively weaker contest off the same mark and is extremely well in here. I cannot believe her price and advise you to get stuck in.
Selection 4 (Treble) | SIYATA 7.52 Haydock - WIN @ 9/4
J: Oisin Murphy / T: Roger Charlton
SIYATA looked a much improved type on her latest outing where she won in really good fashion. She hadn't shown much up to that point but that run was much more like it. She was slowly away that day but eased through the race and won cosily come the finish line. Looks like she can at least retain that ability and looks to have a nicer profile than a few of these. No surprise to see more from her again this time and Oisin is on board and that's a bonus to any selection.
He rode 5 winners on the evening card at Kempton on Wednesday. She's open to improvement and I think this sort of race is ideal for her based on her last run. The runner up last time has actually gone on to win since and franked the form nicely. 9/4 is short enough in the betting but makes the team for Friday and I’m excited to see what she has to offer.
Selection 5 (Next Best) | DANCINGINTHEWOODS 7.38 Newmarket - WIN @ 3/1
J: William Buick / T: Dean Ivory
DANCINGINTHEWOODS gets my vote in the final race of the day where ABATE is on a hat trick bid but has more on his plate here under a penalty. DANCINGINTHEWOODS has won twice this year already including last time out over C&D. He was really impressive that day. He beat Mr Wagyu who won the big handicap easily last weekend and that form clearly stacks up well in this.
DANCINGINTHEWOODS was always doing enough that day and could still be open to more improvement with William Buick in the saddle who has an excellent strike rate for the Dean Ivory team. The reason I prefer my selection over ABATE is simply because ABATE has a penalty and may not want the ground DANCINGINTHEWOODS find a little more improvement yet. He ticks a lot of boxes and with more improvement possible, and I think the 11/4 is nice value for punters at this stage.
Selection 6 (Nap) | BOSS POWER 6.38 Newmarket - WIN @ 5/2
J: Silvestre De Sousa / T: Sir Michael Stoute
BOSS POWER is my NAP selection for Friday’s racing and I think he is the one to beat despite the fact that I Napped up MAKRAM when he won last time out. He is the current favourite but has more on his plate this time. BOSS POWER was held in high regard by connections as a 3y-o and although he did some winning he was slightly disappointing based on the credentials he has to offer.
He has however been very progressive this year and grown into his frame well. He won on his seasonal reappearance in good fashion before being nosed out of the win on his second appearance of the season. This was still an improvement though. Last time out he was mightily impressive to my eye. He beat Taqareer out of the John Gosdens and other good rivals with apparently having more left in the tank.
He was pushed along over 3f out to challenge and made decent headway slowly extending the lead over the final furlong in what was an eye-catching performance. Didn't need to be asked too many questions and looks open to a lot of improvement based on that effort.
He is proven at this trip and I think he will be very hard to pass. MAKRAM may be the main danger but is untried over this far and is not guaranteed to stay. So with question marks over him, BOSS POWER is the one we want to side with and has the profile to match a winning formula in this race. 5/2 are great odds.
