Daily Racing Tips – Monday, July 22

Bit of an open staying race with a few of these presenting a genuine case.

Muleta arrived just in the nick of time to score in his first start for Jeremy Sylvester earlier in the month at Tamworth, form that stacks up nicely for this.

The old boy has mixed his form on soft tracks during his lengthy career but does present well second-up with a handful of wins to his name.

He’ll get back in the run from the soft gate and has claims with Robbie Downey remaining in the saddle.

Harbour Gold returns off a freshen-up and looks poised to strike if he can find the right spot up on the speed.

The lightly-raced three-year-old has improved with racing this time in work, last seen running on late for third at Moree over slightly shorter.

He gets in well at the weights this time and typically goes well on the fresh side, so look for him to be strong in the finish now that he’s hard fit with three runs under his belt.

Sanzeno should find conditions to suit again third-up with Ben Looker in the saddle.

This smart three-year-old by Trapeze Artist has really hit his straps this time in work, resuming to finish runner-up at Tamworth last month before improving for a sharp maiden win at Mudgee out over 1200m.

This is tougher again over longer, but drawn a soft gate that should see him settle in behind the speed, there’s nothing to suggest he can’t go on with it.

Up The Country looks close to another win based on recent efforts.

The filly by Sooboog has found the money in both runs back since resuming, racing a little keen in the early stages at Tamworth a few weeks ago where she eventually knuckled down late to run second.

She showed some real late toe to finish runner-up the start prior at Scone and has big claims with soft conditions under foot once again.
