Naas betting tips: Peter O'Hehir's selections for Wednesday's horse racing action

I Am Superman should return to winning ways in tonight’s Naas finale, the Family Fun Day August Bank Holiday Race.

A progressive colt in handicap company in the spring, the 107-rated selection has been found a good opportunity to earn a confidence-boosting success and give trainer Michael O’Callaghan a first win since early last month.

Well regarded as a juvenile, Superman bolted-up off marks of 79 and 89 in handicaps at Leopardstown and this venue in the spring before finishing fifth to Shellir in the Tetrarch at the Curragh.

He then contested the Tattersalls-sponsored classic at the Curragh, acquitting himself well by finishing sixth, beaten six lengths, behind Phoenix Of Spain.

And, in his most recent start, he showed plenty of pace until weakening in the last furlong and a half to finish 12th behind Space Traveller in the Jersey at Royal Ascot, when he had tonight’s chief rival Western Australia behind.

Back in far less difficult company, Leigh Roche’s mount looks a stand-out in this seven-furlong contest, in which he’s likely to be allowed to bowl along in front.

Tonight’s feature, the listed Yeomanstown Stud Stakes presents punters with a very difficult puzzle to solve.

Jessica Harrington’s Servalan, winner of her maiden over this course and distance last year, is a tentative choice to build on her sole outing this season, a second to one of tonight’s rivals, Lethal Promise, in a listed event in Cork back in May.

The winner has since disappointed and, with the Harrington team continuing in top form, Servalan should reward each-way support in a race which has attracted four British challengers.

Fozzy Stack’s Woody Creek, which produced a career best second in the Dash’ at the Curragh last time, will be a big threat.
