Horse Racing betting tips: Solera Stakes tips

Can a Change of Tactics Unlock Midnight Tango’s Full Potential in the Sweet Solera?
  • Midnight Tango’s career-best run came over today’s course when beaten only a head in Listed company.
  • Oisin Murphy has ridden 14 winners from his last 52 rides in the past fortnight.
  • The form of her Sandringham conqueror has since been boosted by rivals placing in Group races.

Best Bet for Solera Stakes – Newmarket 3:40

Prix Maurice de Gheest at Deauville 3:05 – Topgear to win
12/1 - odds when tipped

Reasoning
Topgear’s Ascot run can be ignored due to shoe loss, and his earlier Group 3 win at Longchamp shows he’s in peak form. Proven at Deauville and ideally suited by the trip, he has the tactical speed and finishing power to trouble the leading contenders in this high-class sprint.

This year’s line-up includes Dance To The Music, an unbeaten Dubawi filly for Charlie Appleby, who made a winning debut here earlier in the summer. Venetian Lace brings the strongest form credentials after running in the Superlative Stakes over course and distance, while Richard Hannon’s Sapphire Steps steps up in trip after an eye-catching win at Newbury.

Ed Walker is doubly represented, with Ascot scorer Princess Petrol joined by Midnight Tango, who caught the eye when running a huge race at Newmarket in June before finding the Princess Margaret Stakes at Ascot less to her liking. The pace scenario could be intriguing, with several likely to be prominent early, but the shape of the race might depend on how patiently some of the more inexperienced types are ridden. With the ground set fair and conditions ideal for racing, this year’s Sweet Solera promises to be a tactical and well-run affair.

Best Bet for Sweet Solera Stakes at Newmarket 3:40 – Midnight Tango to win

At bettingtips4you, we focus on providing a single, carefully considered selection per race rather than flooding readers with multiple options. This philosophy keeps our advice clear, accountable and firmly based on the strongest case in each contest.

Midnight Tango appeals as the value play in this year’s Sweet Solera. Her first three runs at six furlongs showed a clear upward trajectory, capped by a head second over this track in the Empress Stakes, where she was only denied late on by Argentine Tango. That performance hinted strongly that a step up to seven furlongs would suit, given how she saw out her race.

Last time at Ascot, she was asked to race prominently in the Princess Margaret Stakes and ended up doing too much too soon, which left her vulnerable in the final furlong. Ed Walker has acknowledged this and intends to ride her with more restraint today, which should help her settle and produce a stronger finish. With Oisin Murphy booked — fresh from an impressive recent strike rate — and with conditions ideal, she has the profile of a filly capable of reversing form with Dance To The Music and troubling Venetian Lace. Lightly raced and open to more progress, she can take this step up in trip and grade in her stride.
