Horse racing tips: ‘First-time hood will sharpen her up’ – Templegate’s Monday NAP

SportHorse Racing TEMPLEGATE looks to kickstart a new week – and build the bank for York – with some Monday winners. Back a horse by clicking their odds below. MOONLIT SURF (2.40 Nottingham, nap) She looks to have got the hang of things now for trainer Owen Burrows. After three modest runs, she took a step forward on her handicap debut at Sandown when finishing a solid fourth over this trip. Burrows then dropped her back to this maiden level here last time where she was just denied. A hood goes on for the first time which could just sharpen her up a little and it won’t take much more for her to get off the mark. ROCSANE (6.30 Windsor, nb) Has an experience edge over most of today’s rivals and can make that count. She clocked a big personal best when second at Yarmouth last time when beaten just a length over this trip. The winner of that contest was Zigazig Ah who went on to take the Super Sprint and ran well at Glorious Goodwood. She should get her favoured quick ground again. POET’S DAWN (4.24 Ripon, treble) Is in the form of his life at the age of 11 and followed a win here with a smooth success at Nottingham last time. A 4lb penalty still sees him well short of his highest winning mark and there’s every chance he’ll land the hat-trick in this mood. He should be able to dominate as he likes.
