UK Horse Racing Tips: Newmarket

SECRET OATH couldn't match the pace of the impressive Zelania when runner-up over the minimum trip at Nottingham. Saying that, the Godolphin filly stayed on well for second and gave the strong impression today's extra yardage would suit in the process. Mood Queen also came up against a smart winner when second at Kempton. The daughter of Kodiac looks likely to have a say in the outcome, while Butterfly Beach cost a hefty 470,000gns and is a newcomer to note.
Prediction : 1st Secret Oath 2nd Mood Queen 3rd Butterfly Beach

Beaten only a neck over 7f at Yarmouth last time, ABLOOM improves with every start. The progressive Haggas filly showed a willing attitude on that occasion and pedigree suggests she should have even more to offer over today's longer distance. Vronti is a half-sister to Group 3 winner Heredia and could shape well on her introduction, while Azaniya showed ability last year and could prove competitive on her return to the fray.
Prediction : 1st Abloom 2nd Vronti 3rd Azaniya

Meleri won nicely on the Polytrack at Lingfield and merits consideration raised only 3lb. She's preferred to Enthused, who landed an amateurs race over a shorter trip at Chelmsford, but the progressive CROWD QUAKE makes most appeal of the three recent winners. Stuart Williams' charge escapes a penalty for his latest success, having landed an apprentices race over a mile here last week, and this longer trip is within his compass.
Prediction : 1st Crowd Quake 2nd Meleri 3rd Enthused

Zizi looks interesting in first-time cheekpieces for Richard Hughes whose horses are running well, but she was beaten five lengths at Kempton and although dropped 2lb by the handicapper, she needs to find more. Cape Flora warrants plenty of respect on her handicap debut for the Gosdens and she can go close off a mark of 70, but FRENCH HAVEN is narrowly preferred. Only beaten a head off this mark at Ripon, she also sports first-time cheekpieces and as she is due to go up 3lb for future races, she is entitled to go close here.
Prediction : 1st French Haven 2nd Zizi 3rd Cape Flora

Four-year-olds have won the last two runnings of this race, and that points to the chances of ZARIELA, twice a winner over a mile but only fifth last time out on slower ground at Windsor. If kept nearer to the early pace for a late challenge, he could get back to winning ways on this going. Saxonia deserves a second success after going under by a neck at Newmarket off 1lb lower and looks to be her biggest rival, while I Can Imagine may make the running and try to hold on for a place.
Prediction : 1st Zariela 2nd Saxonia 3rd I Can Imagine

Having scored a shade cosily at Newbury three days ago, Mr Ubiquitous warrants respect in his follow-up bid. However, a 6lb penalty and rise in grade does demand another career-best performance from Harry Eustace's gelding and preference is for the down-in-class SIXTYGEESBABY. The Starspangledbanner gelding looked one to follow when completing a double at Doncaster in April and may leave his subsequent fourth-placed handicap bow on the Rowley Mile behind him. Roman Centurion is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Sixtygeesbaby 2nd Mr Ubiquitous 3rd Roman Centurion

A 3lb rise in the ratings for SEA EMILY RUN's latest triumph at Chester could prove to be on the lenient side. That looked a competitive race for the grade and there should be more to come from Tom Clover's filly. Profit Refused also arrives on the back of a triumph at the Cheshire track and, having scored a shade cosily, is an obvious danger. Fellow in-form rival Cressida Wildes may fare best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Sea Emily Run 2nd Profit Refused 3rd Cressida Wildes
