UK Horse Racing Tips: Salisbury

MOONHALL LASS boasts the most convincing recent form and is the logical choice after a cosy win at Yarmouth on Tuesday. A 5lb penalty for that 0-55 success looks manageable here. Roman Spring's all-weather form puts him in the frame for another bold showing, while Alyara and Unico are dangerous to rule out on these terms. Rovinia has never won over 6f but is another that won't need to find much to be on the premises.
Prediction : 1st Moonhall Lass 2nd Roman Spring 3rd Alyara

ZIGGY STARSHINE only picks up half a penalty for her success in a restricted novice stakes at Bath and that 2lb advantage makes her a slightly more attractive proposition than fellow winner, Lover Girl. The latter won cosily on her debut at Wolverhampton and must be taken seriously, despite being yet to prove herself on turf. Passerine was well adrift of the selection at Bath, so one of the newcomers may be a better alternative, with Rhodes Runner put forward to fill that role.
Prediction : 1st Ziggy Starshine 2nd Lover Girl 3rd Rhodes Runner

The last-time-out winners Em Four and DAPPER VALLEY are the pair to focus on. The former is a likely pace angle and is consistent enough to rate a serious player. However, the latter has stronger turf form and had plenty in hand when he made a triumphant return for James Owen at Leicester last Saturday. Both have revised marks but the eight-year-old may the one best equipped to cope. The handily-weighted Jax Edge is the pick of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Dapper Valley 2nd Em Four 3rd Jax Edge

Poetry Of Time brings plenty of experience to the table and has been gelded since his fourth at Kempton in November. William Haggas' charge sets the standard with an official rating of 78 and needs to be taken seriously, but a chance can be taken on newcomer BINMALK. His dam is a sister to multiple Group 1 winner Benbatl and it would be no surprise to see him make an instant impression. Of the remainder, Storming Point makes the most appeal.
Prediction : 1st Binmalk 2nd Poetry Of Time 3rd Storming Point

Siam Ruby made every yard of the running to score in this grade at Wolverhampton last month and the daughter of Australia ought to go close back on the turf. Even so, ROYAL POETRY is preferred. Richard Hannon's filly took a step forward when upped to an extended mile at the Dunstall Park venue on her most recent start and an opening mark of 78 might prove to be lenient. Dreamasar is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Royal Poetry 2nd Siam Ruby 3rd Dreamasar

RANGA TANG sets a decent standard. Beaten less than a length into third at Newmarket on last month's handicap debut, James Owen's charge returns to maiden company with strong claims over this longer trip. Outflank represents powerful connections and is a likely improver having finished a moderate third on his introduction at Kempton in December, while Scarlet Legend is a newcomer to note being a brother to the Goodwood Cup winner Quickthorn.
Prediction : 1st Ranga Tang 2nd Outflank 3rd Scarlet Legend

TAKE THE BOAT has held her form well on the all-weather so far this year. Unexposed on the turf, she could be thereabouts if translating that form back to this surface. Kotari has had a couple of recent spins over hurdles and has dropped to an attractive mark. He could make his presence felt, while Beggarman won off 2lb higher at Ffos Las last summer and is another to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Take The Boat 2nd Kotari 3rd Beggarman
