Sale Horse Racing Tips Sun 28/6/26

Heavy 9 at Sale today, and the one we keep coming back to is Happy Tiers in the 8 at $6. He’s a backmarker into a hot speed map with twenty of them lining up, so if they go hard up front he gets the race set up for him. That’s the angle across most of the card here. On heavy ground the leaders cop it late, so we’re keen on the horses that can swoop, and Garnacho in the 6 reads the same way. Seven races we like, one we love, and the value sits with the closers.

9. Crime Of Passion $5.00

Barrier 7 · Backmarker · Soft pace

#9 Crime Of Passion is the one I’m chasing here. Soft tempo is the query for a horse that gets back, but the favourite #3 Crypt settles even further off them from a worse gate, so I won’t take $4.80 on the same problem. Cross-over nose band back on, second and third either side of a let-up, and he knows how to finish off. $5, on him.

8. Atella Miss $5.50

Barrier 2 · Off Pace · No leader

$2.15 for #12 Laura Eliza off one run and stuck out in gate 13? Not for me. #8 Atella Miss draws the rail, has been finishing her races with a second and a third her last two, and Patrick Moloney can save ground the whole way. She picks them off late at $5.50.

Race 4
1:40pm · 1728m · Mdn Plate · 8 runners

4. Impactical $5.50

Barrier 5 · Midfield · Genuine pace

Winkers off again, and the genuine speed up front sets it up for #4 Impactical to come off them from midfield. He keeps finding the line without winning one. At $5.50 against #6 Urban Creed’s $2.20, give me Impactical.

6. Tel Aviv $6.50

Barrier 7 · Midfield · No leader

Yeah I’m on #6 Tel Aviv. He won last start, and on this heavy 9 he runs over the top of them late, which is more than the fav #1 High Tempo can promise from gate 10 at $2.80. Take him at $6.50.

Race 6
3:00pm · 1411m · Hcp (Bm62) · 13 runners

16. Garnacho $8.00

Barrier 3 · Backmarker · Soft pace

#16 Garnacho keeps finding the line without winning, placing in most of his recent runs. Gate 3, Jye McNeil aboard, and at $8 he’s a better gamble than the fav #4 Celtics at $4.20. I’m on him each-way.

Race 7
3:40pm · 1005m · Hcp (Bm70) · 10 runners

7. Miss Cotoletta $4.50

Barrier 2 · Pace · No leader

#7 Miss Cotoletta gets gate 2 and natural speed in a race with no genuine leader. She can bowl along up front while the fav #4 Nordic Strike tries to find the same spot from gate 9 at $2.80. On heavy ground over the 1000m, that’s the edge I want. Take the $4.50 in front.

Race 8Best Bet
4:20pm · 1205m · Hcp (Bm62) · 11 runners

8. Happy Tiers $6.00

Barrier 10 · Backmarker · Hot pace

The pace is going to be hot, and that plays right into a swooper. #8 Happy Tiers gets back, but with genuine speed up front he can pick them off late. The favourite #12 Missapprehend settles in the same spot from a better gate, yet you’re taking $3.50 on it. Give me the $6 on the one who’s won well and gets the run of the race. Take him to win.
