Key Points

Today’s betting tip has a fantastic record at Windsor
The track conditions are perfect for this mare today
At 7lb below her last winning mark, she’s ready to strike!

We had a great end to last week with 17/2 and 15/2 winners for Saturday’s Lucky 15! But now it's time for my first free betting tip for this week, and I've picked a mare who runs at Windsor today. Although she isn't the most prolific winner, she is very reliable and shouldn’t be far away at the finish. Her handicap mark has come down, and she looks ready to get her head in front today.

Although my main focus here at Betting.co.uk is providing daily and antepost racing tips, I also publish educational guides, and other interesting racing-related things like a horse and trainers to follow each month. My horse to follow for May is Arc Ole Ole, who runs for a very progressive trainer. I see him winning plenty of races this season, so make sure you add him to your tracker!

Betting advice

16:00 Windsor - Stintino Sunset @ 6/1 (4 places) - 0.5pt each way

Take the four places on offer at bet365!

The best horse racing odds for Stintino Sunset currently stand at 13/2. That’s for three places, but I advise takinthe g 6/1 at bet365, as they are offering four places. I believe the extra place is worth more than the small difference in odds, and it’s also worth knowing that bet365 has a great new customer offer too. If you sign up and bet £10 you’ll get £30 of free bets. Well worth exploring if you don’t already have an account.

I think today is Stintino Sunset’s day!

Stintino Sunset has certainly not been easy to win with for her trainers Julia & Shelley Birkett. That said, she is 2 from 21 on the Flat, with a further 15 places recorded. She should be thereabouts, but as I’ll explain in the remainder of this article, I think she can win this today.

Stintino Sunset has a fantastic record at Windsor

Windsor is a quirky track as it has a figure of eight shape, so races like the 1m 3.5f one that Stintino Sunset will tackle today, require both left and right-handed turns. The track is as flat as a pancake and sharp in nature, but there is a long run-in, so it suits galloping types as well. You definitely want a well-balanced horse here and I prefer horses with previous course form.

Stintino Sunset has run at Windsor four times to date, and has produced form figures of 3123, which is very solid. Her first and third runs were on Soft and Heavy going, whereas the second and fourth were on Good to Firm ground like today. Her first race here was in 2023, and the next two were in 2024, but the latest was in June 2025, so less than 12 months ago. For her two C&D races Good to Firm going, she produced RPRs of 60 and 59. If she could replicate those off a career low mark of 47, she will take an awful lot of beating.

Stintino Sunset has ideal conditions today

If you look through Stintino Sunset’s record, she has form on all types of ground. She has recorded four places on Good going, two on Soft, and three seconds places on Heavy going. While she is clearly versatile, her two wins on Turf to date were both on Good to Firm, which is what she gets today, so the conditions should be absolutely perfect for her here.

Stintino Sunset’s last five races were on the All Weather, and I think the switch back to the Turf will see her find improvement. That said, she has been far from disgraced in her All Weather runs, finishing third in the last three. She hasn't had a run since February, but she has a solid record first time out, so hopefully her yard has her fit and ready to fire.

At 7lb below her last winning mark, Stintino Sunset is handicapped to strike!

Her last win, which was in September 2024, was off a mark of 54 and she has now dropped to 47. Rated 7lb below her last winning mark, she is certainly handicapped to strike. In fact, this is the lowest mark of her career, on what will be her 44th run. It’s also worth noting that her latest win over C&D was on the same ground conditions too.

I also find it interesting that her form figures since September read 2377333. In both of the races where she finished seventh she was wearing a hood. Although she finished third on her next start, she was well beaten, coming in nearly nine lengths behind the winner, and she wore a hood that day as well. By comparison, for all of the other races she wore cheekpieces, which are retained today.

Can Stintino Sunset achieve her fourth career win?

I certainly feel there is plenty in Stintino Sunset’s favour today. She has a fantastic record at this track and she gets her preferred going. She has fallen 7lb below her last winning mark, and she has also been performing well in defeat when wearing cheekpieces.

In terms of negatives, her record of 3/43 is hardly inspiring. However, that does improve to 2/21 when isolating her runs on Turf. Furthermore, with five seconds and 15 thirds to her credit, she has finished in the first three in 17 out of 21 races, which is a fantastic strike rate. We are also taking her fitness on trust, having not seen her since early February.

All things considered, I think she is worth an each way bet at 6/1, especially as bet365 is paying four places for this race. That said, I do appreciate she is an infrequent winner, and we are guessing whether she’ll be fit and ready today, so I'm going with half stakes.
