Benaldo1981's Tips

19th February 2026
15:26 3:26 Huntingdon

Ramaah

Daily Racing

25 EW

+1400

Back it

There aren't many in the shortlist for this one, so Postponed Legacy is probably a justified favourite, and Mulholland's For Old Times Sake is also a contender. Stables for Glenmuick and Peace in the Park aren't renowned for progressing after a handicap debut, so maybe Ramaaah can get involved. He's the only other one in my shortlist and took a step forward on the softer ground last time out. This doesn't look as challenging as past races, so there are claims if he continues to progress.
15:57 3:57 Newcastle

Chemistry

Daily Racing

25 EWNAP

+2500

Back it

CHEMISTRY's best run for new connections was the last run at this distance on this surface at Southwell in December. Three pounds lighter than that, with the same jockey on board here, and I'm prepared to draw a line through the last run over the shorter distance last time out. This looks a much more suitable trip, and he could revive here.
17:30 5:30 Newcastle

I Can Boogy

Daily Racing

25 EW

+500

Back it

I Can Boogy is the other that could go in here. Looks well weighted back in handicap company and clearly in fine form, especially here at Newcastle. I'll be surprised if she's unplaced.

Showmedemoney

Daily Racing

50 WIN

+275

Back it

Showmedemoney looks very well handicapped here and has every chance of landing this one. Clearly bang in form and a justified favourite who could take some stopping.
18:00 6:00 Newcastle

Swiss Ace

Daily Racing

25 EWNB

+1100

Back it

Swiss Ace has proved tricky to win with lately but could be a live contender in this one. Seven pounds lighter in the weights than a near miss in a grade higher as recently in December. A claimer takes further weight off, and with the stable in decent nick, he's a very tricky one to rule out here.
18:00 Taylor Fritz vs Rafael Jodar

Rafael Jodar

Win Match

50 WIN

+300

Back it

Small play on Jodar to take out the number-one seed here. He's already taken care of Ethan Quinn, and Fritz was put through his paces in three lengthy three-setters in reaching the final at Dallas last week.
18:00 Zachary Svajda vs Frances Tiafoe

Zachary Svajda

Win Match

50 WIN

+139

Back it

Svajda is a dark horse here. Although the win is possibly out of the equation, he can potentially progress this round, with Tiafoe not really at the races yet in 2026. Svajda has a win in a San Diego Challenger to his name already this year and could spring a surprise.
19:15 Stephen Bunting vs Gian van Veen

Stephen Bunting

Win Match 2-way

50 WIN

+200

Back it

Van Veen is taken on at this price, as Bunting had a decent run in the Players Championship earlier in the week and is starting to throw higher averages.
19:30 Damir Dzumhur vs Jaime Faria

Damir Dzumhur

Win Match

50 WIN

+129

Back it

Džumhur is the higher-ranked player, and Faria lost more than he won on clay last season. So maybe it's a bit of an anomaly to see him above .500 on the surface so far this year.
19:30 Joao Fonseca vs Ignacio Buse

Ignacio Buse

Win Match

50 WIN

+279

Back it

I think Fonseca should be this price on the hard court, but he's less convincing on clay. Buse sticks almost exclusively to that surface and had a good record last season. He's value for me.
19:30 Matteo Berrettini vs Dusan Lajovic

Dusan Lajovic

Win Match

50 WIN

+225

Back it

When Berrettini is at his best he's formidable on clay, but I'm not sure he's quite at that level yet, and Lajovic might be able to spring the upset.
19:30 Tomas Martin Etcheverry vs Vilius Gaubas

Vilius Gaubas

Win Match

50 WIN

+275

Back it

Etcheverry labored to a first-round win, and last week's run at Buenos Aires might be catching up with him. Gaubas has some value here and could land the contest.
19:45 Luke Humphries vs Josh Rock

Josh Rock

Win Match 2-way

50 WIN

+160

Back it

Rock has had a tough start to the campaign but is given a decent chance to snuff out Humphries early doors here.
20:00 8:00 Newcastle

Digital

Daily Racing

50 WIN

+550

Back it

Ruth Carr's charges are always worth a play when sent out quickly. With Digital getting another quick C&D win after the last-time-out victory, he can't be ignored.
20:15 Michael van Gerwen vs Luke Littler

Michael van Gerwen

Win Match 2-way

50 WIN

+225

Back it

Van Gerwen has the hot hand in the Premier League at the moment, so I think Littler is worth taking on at this price. The Dutchman certainly has a live chance of winning this.
20:45 Jonny Clayton vs Gerwyn Price

Jonny Clayton

Win Match 2-way

50 WIN

+139

Back it

Clayton is always a threat, and I think he might be good enough to pick off Price here. It was 6-5 last week, and I think he's a worthy play to exact revenge.
