UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

Arduis Invicta finished second last time out at Nottingham and that form appears to be the best on offer by some margin. She can go close, but a chance is taken on the Salisbury fifth PERFECT LOCATION, who represents the in-form Tom Ward yard. Beaten four lengths at big odds, she kept on well once the penny dropped and looked the sort to learn plenty from the experience. Fille Imbassee is the most interesting newcomer.
Prediction : 1st Perfect Location 2nd Arduis Invicta 3rd Fille Imbassee

Sovereign Bright was only beaten three-quarters of a length in a better race at Doncaster on her second start and looks to be the one to beat on that form, but AZLEET gets the narrowest of votes. Second on both her starts to date, she may make it third-time lucky. Mossvale Diva was second on her debut at Musselburgh and is the obvious option for the minor placing.
Prediction : 1st Azleet 2nd Sovereign Bright 3rd Mossvale Diva

Impartiality couldn't quicken up from off the pace at Carlisle last time, but that was on soft ground and he may do better on this surface. Loch Leven ought to improve after finishing second on her first start since October and she can go well despite an added 2lb from the handicapper, but STATEIRA is preferred. Andrew Balding's filly won over seven furlongs on debut here and had no luck in running when fourth at Kempton last month.
Prediction : 1st Stateira 2nd Loch Leven 3rd Impartiality

The progressive TRALEE GIRL was second in her search for a four-timer at Ffos Las a fortnight ago. Michael Bell's filly won't be inconvenienced by a return to the all-weather and may well resume her improvement, especially given a handy draw. Miss Dolly Rocker struck at Goodwood most recently and is respected from 3lb higher, while others to note include handicap-debutant Quebella and Windsor-victor Wisper.
Prediction : 1st Tralee Girl 2nd Miss Dolly Rocker 3rd Quebella

MISS JUSTICE has filled the runner-up spot on each of her last three starts, with the latest of those coming in a handicap at Sandown. She kept on well over 1m2f that day, so it would come as no great surprise were improvement to come now upped further in trip. Lalique ran well under a penalty at Kempton in May and she remains of interest with cheekpieces fitted for the first time. Alibey wasn't beaten far into third at Haydock last time out and is most appealing of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Miss Justice 2nd Lalique 3rd Alibey

A small but open contest in which preference is for BURJ ZABEEL. The gelded son of Kingman was able to build on a couple of promising efforts to score at Haydock last time and now pitched into handicaps from what looks a workable mark, he could repeat the dose. Golden Handshake didn't have to come out of first gear to break his maiden tag at Lingfield recently and William Haggas' charge is unlikely to be far away along with Tuscan Star, who will find this less taxing than the 0-95 he contested at York last time.
Prediction : 1st Burj Zabeel 2nd Golden Handshake 3rd Tuscan Star

FLUORESCENCE won two of her three starts over 6f but lost her unbeaten record when second at Ripon most recently, where she led at the furlong pole before weakening close home. Tactically adaptable, she may even try to make all over this shorter trip wearing a first-time tongue-tie. Showering is another who could be better suited by the trip after his ninth at York and he could go close under Tom Marquand, while Amestris showed signs of a return to her best when second at Haydock and is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Fluorescence 2nd Showering 3rd Amestris

Letmebetheboss is looking for a hat-trick after wins at Southwell and Kempton but an added 7lb from the handicapper means he may have to settle for a place here. Flamingo Rose won easily enough on her first start in over three years at Lingfield earlier in the week and she can also go well carrying a 4lb penalty, but CAPTAIN POTTER gets the nod. The five-year-old gelding won by an eased down six lengths over 2m2f at Pontefract three weeks ago and although upped 6lb for that, he drops in class looking to follow up.
Prediction : 1st Captain Potter 2nd Flamingo Rose 3rd Letmebetheboss
