Nap of the day: best horse racing tips for the day's five meetings

Thursday's best bets from the Racing Post's unbeatable Spotlights team

Brighton

2.05: Granary Queen

The filly Granary Queen knows how to get the job done and she's selected to post her fifth win of the season. She won here in June and was back on the scoresheet at Lingfield last month. The progressive 3yo Proud Fairy was not far behind Granary Queen last time and will be a big danger if proving just as effective on turf. Darvel is next on the list now back up in trip, with Mount Kosciuszko and River Wharfe others to consider.
Ben Hutton

Carlisle

2.45: Court Dreaming

Surprisingly few make strong appeal and Court Dreaming can add to his 2020 success in this race. Mance Rayder could step up on his modest effort last month but Wye Aye looks the main threat.
Jonathan Neesom

Chelmsford

7.00: Oasis Power

James Tate is 7-16 with 2yos on the AW this year and boasts a decent strike-rate with juveniles here down the seasons, so the claims of Oasis Power, who's due to go up 4lb from the weekend, are there for all to see after last week's Southwell second. Dovena looks to start nursery life on a fair mark and rates the main danger for a yard going well of late.
Graham Wheldon

Curragh

2.35: American Sonja

Off a light weight and back in trip American Sonja could take some beating here on ground she handles. Clounmacon, McCauley's Tavern and Net A Porter Queen look the most likely to fill the placings.
Alan Hewison

Tramore

2.25: Brooklyn Balance

After running a cracker on handicap debut at Fairyhouse five days ago, Brooklyn Balance could go one better today as long as he isn't feeling the effects of that effort. Mater Matuta has been in fine form this season, especially here, and should run another solid race. Jack Holiday and Jazz Ranger are dangers, while Clear The Clouds needs a market check.
