Newsboy is backing Zeus Olympios to win the featured Group 2 Bet365 Mile at Sandown on Friday, with his Nap selection, Nobody Knows, expected to deliver in the 1.50 race live on ITV4 Sport.
Zeus Olympios Ready for Group 2 Glory
Zeus Olympios has plenty more to offer as he defends his unbeaten record in the Group 2 Bet365 Mile (3.00) at Sandown. The Karl Burke-trained four-year-old, a son of Night Of Thunder, carries a penalty for his win in the same-grade Joel Stakes at Newmarket last September. However, the good news for backers is that the colt, who boasts a perfect 4-4 record in 2025, has significant scope for improvement as he steps up to the top tier for the first time under jockey Ryan Moore.
Moore's ITV4 Treble Prospects
Ryan Moore has strong claims on an ITV4 treble, beginning with Nobody Knows in the Bet365 Esher Cup Handicap (1.50) and concluding with Action in the Group 3 Bet365 Classic Trial (3.35). Meanwhile, Almeric, who suffered his first defeat in the Champion Stakes at Ascot last October, should find the opposition less demanding in the Group 3 Bet365 Gordon Richards Stakes (2.25), with Oisin Murphy in the saddle.
Perth and Other Meetings
At Perth, the Christian Williams-trained Fever Dream rates as a worthy market leader for the QuinnBet Highland National Handicap Chase (2.05). Later on the card, La Zoubida should not be underestimated in the Perth Racecourse Racing & Events Handicap Hurdle (2.40) for trainer Nicky Richards.
