Sale Racing Tips for June 28 – Lofty Thoughts can end the day a winner

Here are our best bets from the meeting, which also feature in our daily selections.

Celtics should be hard to beat in Race 6. The Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr-trained galloper won two of his first three this campaign before tackling a Saturday race at Flemington and placing 6th behind Wise Inlaw over the 1200m down the straight. He was held up at a crucial stage before clocking the fastest last 200m. The son of I Am Invincible comes in with six weeks between runs and was a fresh winner at Bendigo earlier this year ahead of Yuuki, with those two gapping the rest. He draws perfectly in barrier 4 and gets the 3kg claim for Olivia East. 

Lofty Thoughts can end the day a winner. The Cranbourne based galloper ventured over to Murray Bridge for a Saturday meeting at the South Australian venue when resuming and drew widest of the 13 runners before settling back and closing off with the fastest last 200m over the 1100m to just miss. He went 1.2 lengths faster than standard benchmark, which is the best last start benchmark figure of any runner. The son of Snitzel will find this slightly easier and will strip fitter second up, while he is one from one over the distance.
