Horse Racing Tips: Katie Midwinter's best bets on Sunday including Salisbury pick

Cork, 14:37 - Back Indigo Dream E/W @ 20/121.00

14 (8)

Indigo Dream

• J: Siobhan Rutledge
• T: Ross O'Sullivan, Ireland
• F:

Ross Sullivan-trained Indigo Dream was in good form over the winter on the all-weather, and returned in similar fashion with two second-placed efforts in competitive races at Newcastle and Naas respectively in the spring. She didn't get the run of things in a Curragh handicap won by Headmaster last month, but could be able to resume her rich vein of form from a workable mark of 83.

A likeable performer, the four-year-old filly could still be on an upward trajectory and makes appeal at the weights. She could put in a bold bid under Siobhan Rutledge and warrants each-way consideration.

Cork, 14:37 - Back Go Athletico E/W @ 28/129.00

15 (1)

Go Athletico (Fr)

• J: J. Pietropaolo
• T: Adrian McGuinness, Ireland
• F:

On a workable rating of 84 under 7lb claiming Julian Pietropaolo, experienced performer Go Athletico could pose a threat in his 52nd career start. He's 2lb lower than his last win, which came in an extended 6f handicap at the Curragh last summer, and has since shown to still retain ability when third to Keke at 12/113.00 at Naas.

The Ado McGuinness-trained contender is well treated at the weights if at his best and has been capable of outrunning his odds in the past. He could be worth keeping onside in similar contests, with plenty of valuable experience in his favour.

Salisbury, 14:44 - Back Blue Prince @ 7/24.50

5 (5)

Blue Prince (Ire)

• J: Billy Loughnane
• T: David Evans
• F:

Luckless when third at Goodwood last Sunday, Blue Prince is on a mark of 79 from which he can strike, 10lb lower than his last win.

Under Billy Loughnane, the five-year-old is capable of returning to the winners' enclosure by recording a fifth career win. He has finished third in both of his outings so far this term, catching the eye, and should be suited by conditions as he makes his 39th start representing trainer David Evans.

Chantilly, 15:45 - Back Miss Justice @ SP

10 (5)

Miss Justice

• J: Christophe Soumillon
• T: Brian Meehan
• F:

In this mile-and-a-half Listed contest for the fillies and mares, British-raider Miss Justice makes appeal under Christophe Soumillon having landed Listed honours in the past. She beat Revoir to claim a Stakes-level success at Salisbury last summer, narrowly finishing ahead of the runner-up who went on run well when just beaten in Group Three company. 

When previously trained by John and Thady Gosden, Miss Justice was touched off in a Group Three in the autumn in her final start for her former trainers, proving her capabilities in deep waters against tough opposition. She wasn't at her best on yard debut for Brian Meehan last month but is entitled to improve for the outing and could be worth keeping onside as she still has the scope for further improvement.

Cork, 17:23 - Back Cause I Like You E/W @ 14/115.00

13 (6)

Cause I Like You (Ire)

• J: Wesley Joyce
• T: Michael Mulvany, Ireland
• F:

Three-year-old filly Cause I Like You wasn't at her best in first-time cheekpieces when last seen, but had previously put in two respectable efforts at Dundalk finishing in fourth and fifth during April. She remains a maiden following ten starts but could be capable of getting off the mark and may be worth keeping the faith in having shown to possess some ability.

The Michael Mulvany-trained filly makes appeal under capable 3lb claimer Wesley Joyce, 3lb lower rated than when beaten only three-lengths earlier in the term. She could make the frame in her 11th career outing and make her presence felt.

Salisbury, 17:32 - Back Tryfan @ 5/16.00

1 (4)

Tryfan

• J: Hector Crouch
• T: Harry Charlton
• F:

Dropping in class and in distance over this mile-and-a-half trip, Harry Charlton-trained Tryfan could use his stamina to good use in familiar surroundings as he bids to improve on a couple of poor efforts.

The five-year-old is equipped with first-time cheekpieces which could spark enough improvement to see him to better effect in calmer waters, and he should be capable of putting in a bold bid under Hector Crouch, who was in the saddle when the gelding recorded his latest success from a 3lb higher mark on the all-weather.

The son of Nathaniel is only 3lb higher rated than his previous Turf win at this venue, and makes appeal at the weights with the drop in class likely to allow him to make his presence felt and better his latest couple of efforts during the spring.
