UK Horse Racing Tips: Brighton

SARASOTA ran a big race on her stable debut for Alex Dunn, finishing second at Wolverhampton following a three-month absence, and could strike under crack 5lb claimer Cieren Fallon. An unchanged mark of 61 looks there to be taken advantage of, and she appeals more than Red Tycoon, who finished second on Polytrack 19 days ago and may do better now using first-time cheekpieces. The Special One likes it here and would be of interest if the ground remains lively.
Prediction : 1st Sarasota 2nd Red Tycoon 3rd The Special One

Saeed Bin Suroor claimed this prize last year and has a great chance to repeat that trick with BIG CITY. The two-year-old handled heavy ground well when shedding his maiden tag at Nottingham last month, and should at least confirm form with Mensen Ernst (third) despite carrying a 7lb penalty. Governor Of Punjab scored at Chelmsford three weeks ago and the second has since come out and won, while World Title is another to note for a handler enjoying a great season with his juveniles.
Prediction : 1st Big City 2nd Governor Of Punjab 3rd World Title

DESERT LANTERN was slowly away and short of room at a crucial stage when third at Wolverhampton eight days ago, so that effort can probably be upgraded slightly. Mark Johnston's filly has been found a suitable opening, and she can dominate from her handy draw in stall one if getting out a bit better this time. Momentarily was third here last time and this drop to 7f is fully expected to suit, while Kachumba has dropped to a tempting mark and is another to respect.
Prediction : 1st Desert Lantern 2nd Momentarily 3rd Kachumba

FRANCOPHILIA took another step forward in her development to score at Newcastle 10 days ago and could rate higher than her mark of 76. She is by Frankel and out of a Group 1-winning dam (at the age of five), so she should do better as time goes on. Perfect Illusion drops in class but might want further than this, while You're Hired and Hollywood Road both have a bit to find if they are to be taken seriously as win candidates.
Prediction : 1st Francophilia 2nd Perfect Illusion 3rd Youre Hired

HEDGING has enjoyed his time here on the last three occasions and having scored over seven furlongs last week, is right at the top of the shortlist once again, stepping up to a mile under a 5lb penalty. Joyful Dream was denied by just a short head over track and trip last time and is only 1lb higher in the ratings this time. She has the chance to turn the tables on her conqueror that day, Miss Recycled, while Luxford, fifth in that contest, has a handy course record and is respected.
Prediction : 1st Hedging 2nd Joyful Dream 3rd Miss Recycled

Track regular PRINCESS FLORENCE thrived over course and distance to get off the mark last week and could strike once again while the iron is hot under a 6lb penalty having teamed up well with the talented Cieren Fallon of late. Tarrzan rattled the crossbar here late last month and is dangerous off the same figure, while blinkers are tried now on Forty Four Sunsets, who is interesting dropping back significantly in trip.
Prediction : 1st Princess Florence 2nd Tarrzan 3rd Forty Four Sunsets

NERVOUS NERYS got off the mark with a somewhat surprising short-head victory over course and distance late last month and just a fair 2lb rise from the assessor gives Alex Hales' filly the chance to follow up here. Alicia Darcy was only beaten a neck at Wolverhampton last time and races off the same mark here, while Miss Liberty Belle ran with credit here over seven furlongs last time and this distance may help her get closer this time.
Prediction : 1st Nervous Nerys 2nd Alicia Darcy 3rd Miss Liberty Belle
