UK Horse Racing Tips: Salisbury

GOLD VENTURE scored on debut at Redcar before finishing fifth at Chepstow, form looking stronger than first suspected with the winner going on to strike in the Listed National Stakes at Sandown. Archie Watson has enjoyed a great season with his juvenile runners, and she can prove too hot for Goodwood Rebel, who was fourth here 17 days ago and should appreciate this extra furlong, and Souter Johnnie, who could prove best of the newcomers.
Prediction : 1st Gold Venture 2nd Goodwood Rebel 3rd Souter Johnnie

Top Buck remains a maiden after three starts but has Ryan Moore on board for the first time, while Summer Lake is bred to be quick and makes some appeal as Roger Charlton's first two-year-old runner of the season. GROVE FERRY is related to plenty of useful winners and caught the eye when eighth of 19 at Newmarket in a competitive novice contest 26 days ago. He should be all the wiser for that experience and could prove tough to beat.
Prediction : 1st Grove Ferry 2nd Top Buck 3rd Summer Lake

TAPISSERIE has found just one too good on each of her two starts and could go one better now upped in distance with Ryan Moore riding for the first time. The three-year-old has shown plenty of ability in her short career so far, and looks open to greater improvement than the more exposed Posted. Reynolds outran 50-1 odds when third on debut at Newbury 25 days ago, while Strict and Quick are others to take seriously.
Prediction : 1st Tapisserie 2nd Posted 3rd Reynolds

GLAMOROUS CRESCENT rattled the crossbar over a similar trip at Chepstow last time and given he's unexposed over the distance, he's expected to mount another bold bid. Dark Glory is fitted with first-time blinkers after running below par at Southwell, though he'd previously finished third behind the selection and commands respect on that performance. Orliko made all to win over 1m at Brighton recently and could be a tactical danger dropping back in yardage.
Prediction : 1st Glamorous Crescent 2nd Dark Poet 3rd Orliko

Although she needs to better her latest run at Goodwood, LIGHTENING DANCE boasts winning C&D form and has dropped to within 1lb of her mark that day. Hat-trick seeker Bella Vita and Pempie both struck over track and trip last time and command the utmost respect as unexposed three-year-old's. Time For A Toot appears to be coming to the boil and could also take a hand.
Prediction : 1st Lightening Dance 2nd Bella Vita 3rd Pempie

MAKE MY DAY is entitled to improve for the experience gained on his racecourse bow at Haydock in April, chasing home a runaway winner, and this well-bred colt can go one better. The Martyn Meade pair, Isolate and Fox Vardy, both make some appeal with the former placing over C&D last time and the latter potentially improving for the step up in distance. Arthur Pendragon and Moghram are others who merit consideration.
Prediction : 1st Make My Day 2nd Isolate 3rd Fox Vardy

SINGING THE BLUES has been a model of consistency, having finished in the first two on his last seven outings, and the return to 1m4f is no concern for Rod Millman's gelding as he can use his assured stamina to best effect. Highfaluting has taken a step forward in two handicap starts and could have more to offer stepping up in trip, while similar comments apply to Champs De Reves.
Prediction : 1st Singing The Blues 2nd Highfaluting 3rd Champs De Reves

MAJOR VALENTINE was unable to handle a quick turnaround when unplaced at Newmarket on his latest start but John O'Shea's gelding can make amends after nearly a month off the track. Handytalk is respected on his Goodwood third last time with Oliver Searle's 7lb claim to aid his cause, while Little Palaver and recent Lingfield scorer Motajaasid complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Major Valentine 2nd Handytalk 3rd Motajaasid
