UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

CRAZY SPIN arrives here having won twice over C&D in recent months and a 4lb rise in the ratings for the most recent of those triumphs may not be enough to stop Ivan Furtado's filly from racking up the hat-trick. Palazzo is another proven performer over this track and trip and he has to be considered, while Luscifer and Gracie's Girl complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Crazy Spin 2nd Palazzo 3rd Luscifer

DUNE OF PILAT was only narrowly denied on his debut at Dundalk in November but the son of Medaglia d'Oro provided his supporters with some valuable compensation by winning his next start at the same venue. The Joseph O'Brien-trained colt brings the best form to the table and he remains open to improvement, which makes him hard to oppose. Itsallaboutluck ran well enough here two starts ago and he could prove to be the main threat to the selection, ahead of Proxy.
Prediction : 1st Dune Of Pilat 2nd Itsallaboutluck 3rd Proxy

LIAMBA has won three times at this venue and been placed on a further seven occasions, and could take some beating tackling the C&D once more. The five-year-old is in the form of her life chasing a third successive victory and appeals more than perennial bridesmaid Sandridge Lad, who has finished second in four of his last five starts. Le Manege Enchante is another who likes it here and may prove good enough for third spot.
Prediction : 1st Liamba 2nd Sandridge Lad 3rd Le Manege Enchante

ZYLAN acquitted himself well when cut back to the minimum distance here last week and the step back up to 6f combined with a 1lb drop having run under a penalty the other day are both positives for the eight-year-old. Zapper Cass can bounce back from his latest start at Wolverhampton based on his two victories here earlier in the month. Wasntexpectingthat also warrants plenty of respect if translating his recent Newcastle success to this surface.
Prediction : 1st Zylan 2nd Wasntexpectingthat 3rd Zapper Cass

BALLARD DOWN, making his first appearance for Alexandra Dunn, is 16lb and upwards ahead of these rivals on official figures and it will be disappointing if he is unable to give weight and a beating to them. Veteran performer Mister Music has been struggling for a while so it could be up to the younger legs of Bond Angel and Bedtime Bella to ask most questions. David Evans' hat-trick seeking mare is feared most.
Prediction : 1st Ballard Down 2nd Bond Angel 3rd Bedtime Bella

Break The Silence seldom runs a bad race at this venue and he's unlikely to be far away at the finish, but slight preference is for FORTISSIMO. He has been running well at both Lingfield and Wolverhampton, and a first-time visor could eke out that extra bit of improvement needed to land the spoils. Sylviacliffs was much improved when third behind Break The Silence here at the beginning of the month and she can't be ruled out off a 1lb lower mark.
Prediction : 1st Fortissimo 2nd Break The Silence 3rd Sylviacliffs

GLOBAL MELODY won nicely over C&D earlier this month and wasn't disgraced when third over 6f here five days later. Although 4lb higher now, the in-form five-year-old looks sure to give another good account. Red Stripes was a game track-and-trip winner 13 days ago and warrants respect seeking to follow up, and Mulzim is unlikely to be far away either.
Prediction : 1st Global Melody 2nd Red Stripes 3rd Mulzim
