Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Saratoga Gold No. 2, stall 3
Alistair Rawlinson · Kevin & Lauren Frost
✓ Top rated ✓ Distance winner
Saratoga Gold is the pick of this six-runner Southwell staying contest, topping our figures on 71 and holding a three-pound edge over Fleur de Mer on 68, so she is narrowly ahead rather than dominant. That makes her the one to beat over the 14 furlongs on the all-weather, where the gap back to the pair on 61 and the pair below them is more significant. Fleur de Mer is the chief danger, with Satyress and Belle Amie the others who could make the frame if Saratoga Gold falls short. We expect her class edge to tell, and she is the selection.

Sean Dylan Bowen
Harriet Bethell 1/6
Five wins in her last six starts, including a win last time out, make Satyress a leading threat, and she's had 26 days since that latest success and has run on today's going before. The one concern is the 138 lb she carries, with our rating of 61 only a point above her official mark of 60.

Saratoga Gold has been in the frame in three of his last six, including a third two starts back, and has run over today's trip and going before, while only 23 days since his last outing. Our top-rated runner at 71 against an official 59, he is the one to beat, though yet to win in that spell.

Belle Amie arrives in sound form, third last time out and a winner two starts back, with two wins in her last six, and she has run over today's trip and on this going before. Our rating of 61 backs her up, but 137 lb is a hefty burden to carry.

Fleur de Mer returns just 11 days after a seventh last time out, but she was second three starts back and third four starts back, and she has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 68 ranks her second of six; the risk is that she is yet to win and carries 133 lb.

Charlie Johnston 5/46
Aussie Pearl is consistent but yet to win, finishing third last time out, then a fourth two starts back, and she looks short of a gear at ranked fifth of six on our figures. She has run over today's trip and is fit after 18 days, but 127 lb is a big ask.

Winless in her last five, Pop The Question has finished sixth last time out, a ninth two starts back and a sixth four starts back, so she is hard to fancy at 124 lb. Back in nine days, she has run over this trip and going before, and that is about the best that can be said.
