Rhys Williams' Racing Tips: 2 Selections For Tuesday
Horse racing expert Rhys Williams is sharing his best selections for Tuesday's action.
Rhys has been a racing analyst for over 10 years, working for At The Races and, most recently, as a tipster for Betfair, where his tipping column achieved a 31% ROI over 4.5 years.
He often focuses on the back end of the market, finding angles that aren't evident to most.
Rhys' tips have returned 399.12 points from 254.0 points staked, meaning his profit and loss record stands at a whopping +145.12pts overall - thanks to Friday's 66/1 winner (Unquite Dreams).
Here are Rhys' tips for today, using the most up-to-date odds from the best horse racing betting sites.

16:36 Ballinrobe: Whoyougonnacall - 0.5pts Each-Way @ 18/1
Whoyougonnacall faced stronger company on his most recent outing at Roscommon, and I think the market is underestimating his chance on the return to calmer waters in the opening race at Ballinrobe.
The first two home in that Roscommon race are now rated in the high 120s and Whoyougonnacall was able to stay in touch until two out with his early keenness not helping his chance of seeing out the trip.
Prior to that, he was running very well in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel when coming down at two out.
I think he likely would have at least gone close to winning that day and the winner has followed up since while the second got off the mark next time.
It is a bit worrying how tamely Whoyougonnacall finished off the race last time considering he’s now going slightly up in trip, but this race doesn’t look to have too much depth to it and I think he has more ability than his price would suggest.
Any 12/1 or bigger appeals.
Rhys' Selection 1: 16:36 Ballinrobe: Whoyougonnacall - 0.5pts Each-Way
18:00 Wolverhampton: Shopaholic - 1pt Win @ 18/1
The staying amateur riders’ race that opens the card at Wolverhampton is a moderate contest, and I think the market is overlooking the chance of a handicap debutant.
Shopaholic has had three starts over 1m2f, where she’s been up against much tougher company and has looked short of the speed necessary for that trip.
She ran well for a long way on debut behind a now 93-rated rival, while the two horses who finished directly behind her at Nottingham on her second start have both won since, Barak Warrior doing so on handicap debut off a mark of 62.
Shopaholic’s latest run was less encouraging, but she did have an inexperienced rider in the saddle that day against professionals.
While her jockey today doesn’t have too much experience under rules, Lucas Murphy being able to claim 5lb in this type of race when he’s arguably the best jockey riding in the race, is a significant advantage to the chance of Shopaholic.
There is a concern that Shopaholic has raced a bit keenly in her races so far, so going up in trip may not be ideal with that in mind.
However, if Murphy is able to get her to settle early on, I think this sort of trip can bring improvement from her and this is the first realistic opportunity that she’s had in her career against an exposed bunch of rivals.
Any double-figure prices appeal.
Rhys' Selection 2: 18:00 Wolverhampton: Shopaholic - 1pt Win
