UK Horse Racing Tips: Salisbury

GAVI DI GAVI found the return to 1m to his liking when scoring at Sandown last month and a 4lb rise may not be enough to prevent the Alan King-trained gelding from striking again. Girl Inthe Picture was runner-up at Yarmouth when last seen in June and cannot be discounted at this level. Hellavapace and Typical Man have form that would bring them into calculations too.
Prediction : 1st Gavi Di Gavi 2nd Girl Inthe Picture 3rd Hellavapace

ODONNELL'S ORCHARD was far from disgraced when finishing a more than respectable fourth in the Listed Rose Bowl at Newbury last month and a similar level of performance may prove good enough here. This contest is by no means a weak affair though, with Zabriskie Point likely having more to offer after winning on his debut at Leicester in May, while it's too early to write off Boyfriend.
Prediction : 1st Odonnells Orchard 2nd Zabriskie Point 3rd Boyfriend

There was plenty to like about DRAGON LEADER's debut triumph over C&D in June and the son of El Kabeir could be up to defying a 4lb penalty. Nukanan, a half-brother to the precocious Kokachin, is a potential fly in the ointment and any market support would make Roger Varian's colt interesting. Gunfighter offered encouragement when third at Newbury last month and makes most appeal of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Dragon Leader 2nd Nukanan 3rd Gunfighter

ZOUMOON has the experience edge and she sets a decent standard in this contest. James Ferguson's charge was a good second over 6f at Kempton last time and, if she's able to repeat that effort, the daughter of Zoustar would take the beating here. Star Music is feared most and James Doyle is an eye-catching jockey booking, while All Agleam is another debutant to be taken seriously.
Prediction : 1st Zoumoon 2nd Star Music 3rd All Agleam

This looks like a good opportunity for RAQIYA to get off the mark at the second time of asking after running with promise when fourth over 6f at Newbury. Owen Burrows' filly was only beaten one and a quarter lengths on that occasion and she appears hard to beat here. Miss Idunn is related to some useful sprinters, so this trip is likely to suit, while So Logical heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Raqiya 2nd Miss Idunn 3rd So Logical

JOY CHOI was only beaten a head when third over C&D last time and, raised just 1lb in the ratings, she has a very good chance of getting her head back in front here. Firenze Rosa was a short head in front of the selection on that occasion before going on to score over 6f at Lingfield, but she's on much worse terms with the selection as a result. Atty's Edge completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Joy Choi 2nd Firenze Rosa 3rd Attys Edge

An open contest in which the hat-trick seeking AZAHARA PALACE gets the vote. She kept on well to score by a length and a quarter over this distance at Chepstow last month and a 3lb raised mark may not be enough to halt her progression. The unexposed Maremma is feared most on her handicap debut, while the four-timer hunting War Chant is just one other with claims.
Prediction : 1st Azahara Palace 2nd Maremma 3rd War Chant

The unexposed ROGUE TORNADO recorded his best run to date when scoring over 1m4f at Pontefract last month. The son of Cracksman kept on well that day and shaped as though he can follow up, despite a stiffer stamina test and a 5lb raised mark. Manxman seems his biggest danger following an emphatic success over 2m at Nottingham most recently, even though he has to shoulder a 6lb penalty for that. Beat The Heat heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Rogue Tornado 2nd Manxman 3rd Beat The Heat
