Racing betting tips: Sunday March 16
1pt win Safe Destination in the 3:02 Chepstow at 7/2 (William Hill) – min 3/1
1pt e.w. Indigo Five in the 3:45 Curragh at 35/1 (Paddy Power 1/5 1,2,3,4,5, 33/1 Betfair) min 28/1
3:02 Chepstow – Class 4 Handicap Chase 2m 7f 131y
Safe Destination looks a solid bet in this handicap chase with both the nature of the contest and the prevailing ground very much in his favour. Toby McCain-Mitchell has won twice on the son of Pether’s Moon this season and he ran better still when 2½ lengths second of 8 to Camulus at Taunton last time.
Safe Destination tends to lead or race close up in his races and with the defection of Roger Rarebit, he looks set to get an uncontested lead. That effort behind the progressive Camulus, who was following up a win at Leicester, looks solid form and he’s been nudged up just 1lb for it, and holds Ask Brewster. With almost everything in his favour, he looks by far the best option in a fair race for the grade.

3:45 Curragh – Irish Lincolnshire 1m
Most of the pace in the Irish Lincoln is up the middle and that should ensure that those who can track the pace up the centre of the track should get the ideal trip, making Indigo Five look a decent bet at the morning odds. Johnny Feane’s six-year-old ran well on all starts last season and tends to save her very best efforts for this track, with her Curragh form figures reading 121325 in handicaps. She’s a course and distance winner on good and soft ground and the fact that she would have rewarded each-way support on all of those runs make her of obvious interest now.
