Sale Racing Tips for September 13 – Crocodile to rock in Race 8

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

Zovoko can go one spot better than a last-start effort that saw her finish runner-up at Mornington just over a week ago. The four-year-old settled handy but didn't enjoy much daylight over the final 200m when finishing just under a length behind Mykindakandy, while there was a solid gap back to the third horse. She has now placed in two of three career starts and went 0.3 lengths faster than standard benchmark at Mornington, which is a better figure than any other horse in this race has produced in their career to date. The daughter of Overshare is likely to box seat from barrier 3 and should be hard to hold out at the business end.

Keen on Crocodile in the final race of the day at Sale. The four-year-old has won three of 10 career starts and resumed in this grade at Sale on August 21, finishing runner-up behind Let It Beel. He drew wide and was back off a slow tempo, making up plenty of ground in the straight before just peaking late on his run. He meets the winner 3.5kg better with less than half a length to make up and will strip fitter at his second run back. Jabez Johnstone rides and the gun apprentice is striking at 25%
