UK Horse Racing Tips: Newmarket

We may not have a filly of the calibre of Inspiral this time around, but it may pay to side with newcomer PRIDE OF THE PACK, a daughter of the mighty Roaring Lion, who has had two newcomers win so far this month. Both fillies that have run do not set the highest of standards, though better can be expected of Fairy Cross, who ran in a hot novice contest on the Rowley course in May. Dark Majesty is another newcomer to note for connections who know how to ready one.
Prediction : 1st Pride Of The Pack 2nd Fairy Cross 3rd Dark Majesty

D DAY ODETTE has improved since joining new connections and this looks as good an opportunity as any to get off the mark, with most of her rivals having something to prove. One of those is Improvise, who was thought good enough to contest the Cheshire Oaks on her penultimate start and didn't show much at Nottingham since. The biggest danger may be Alpha Cru, who ran well at Hamilton latest and now wears first-time cheekpieces.
Prediction : 1st D Day Odette 2nd Alpha Cru 3rd Improvise

This can go the way of the unexposed MINNETONKA, who looked a filly right out of the top drawer when bounding clear from her rivals at Salisbury on debut. Improvement is expected and she can hand her trainer yet another win in this contest. Runner-up to the Queen Mary winner on debut and an easy winner of her next two, Malrescia sets the standard on form, while stablemate Believing must also enter calculations. The booking of Frankie Dettori aboard first-time-out winner Lezoo also catches the eye.
Prediction : 1st Minnetonka 2nd Malrescia 3rd Believing

Godolphin pair Rebel's Romance and Kemari come out best on official figures, but the former was far from convincing at Meydan over the winter, while the latter ran below his best at York on his reappearance. With that in mind, it could pay to take them on with UNIVERSAL ORDER, who was delivered late to land a similar renewal of this contest 24 months ago and advertised his present wellbeing with a fine second at Haydock last time.
Prediction : 1st Universal Order 2nd Rebels Romance 3rd Kemari

LANEQASH was highly tried in Group 2 races last season and ran as well as ever when only narrowly failing to reel in a race-fit Pogo over 7f at Haydock on his reappearance in Group 3 company last month. Assuming that run has sharpened him up, he should be able to exact revenge on Charles Hills' chestnut on 3lb better terms. Sunray Major, just behind in fourth place at the Merseyside venue, is hard to rule out, especially as cheekpieces are now fitted for the first time.
Prediction : 1st Laneqash 2nd Sunray Major 3rd Pogo

Haseefah has returned from a spell hurdling to win successive races at Chester and Goodwood but a rising mark could leave her vulnerable. Low mileage three-year-old Mimikyu doesn't look badly treated on her handicap bow after a game novice win at Haydock, but preference is for TUCSON CLOUD, who impressed when winning on her handicap bow from just 3lb lower at Leicester last month, powering home in the style of a progressive sort.
Prediction : 1st Tucson Cloud 2nd Mimikyu 3rd Haseefah

Following success at Chester, Jean Baptiste ought to remain competitive from a 2lb higher mark. However, he could be vulnerable to an improver and is taken on with WARM SMILE, who makes her handicap debut. Her novice form reads well, suggesting an opening handicap mark of 74 could prove lenient, though she'll face competition from recent Haydock scorer Chips And Rice. Aryaah was well held from his current mark earlier this month and needs to resume progress if he's to come out on top.
Prediction : 1st Warm Smile 2nd Chips And Rice 3rd Jean Baptiste
