Marcus Buckland's Horse Racing Betting Tips for Wednesday 30th September

Five meetings are scheduled in Britain and Ireland on Wednesday, with most of the action set to take place in the afternoon, ahead of an AW Flat card under the lights at Kempton.

Racing Post tipster, Marcus Buckland, has provided three recommendations for the day's fare.

Wednesday's Horse Racing Tips

15:50 Bellewstown - Osterode @ 8/11
17:15 Sligo - Soir De Garde @ 7/4
17:25 Catterick - Green Area @ 2/1

Horse Racing

15:50 Bellewstown - Osterode @ 8/11

Willie McCreery's Osterode may have an official rating of 67, but that figure underestimates her ability given that she ran to a Racing Post Rating of 77 when runner-up at Dundalk earlier this month.

That reads especially well in the context of this maiden, her chief rival appearing to be the Joseph O'Brien-trained Dusty Rock, who ran to a mark of only 68 when second of 13 on her reappearance at Dundalk in January and has fitness to prove, having been off since.

The selection gave a good account on her only previous try on turf at Cork in June and she's got the assistance of Billy Lee, who has been riding out of his skin recently. 

17:15 Sligo - Soir De Garde @ 7/4

Willie Mullins' Soir De Garde jumped moderately most of the way under Paul Townend over 2m2f at Galway last time, but he was still in winning contention turning for home and retains a ton of potential.

The lightly raced eight-year-old showed some useful form over hurdles, but he's built like a chaser and made a winning start over fences at Wexford in June, despite making a host of jumping errors.

He's clearly still got a lot to learn in that department, but he's got a big engine and should be well suited by this step up in trip.

17:25 Catterick - Green Area @ 2/1

Charlie Johnston's Green Area made short work of his two rivals when opening her account at Carlisle last month and looks a major player off a mark of 79 on her handicap debut.

The daughter of St Mark's Basilica hinted at ability in her first two outings, finishing third over 1m2f at Lingfield before filling the same position over 1m4f at Doncaster.

However, she stepped up markedly on those efforts, completing a dominant all-the-way winner over 1m3f at Carlisle; the filly came home six lengths ahead of odds-on favourite Peace Belle, who has since performed well in both Listed and Group 2 company over staying trips.

This track should suit and any softening of the ground will be very much in her favour.
