Race Tip

Eve Johnson Houghton has won the last two renewals of the Brighton Mile and she could add another victory with SILCA BAY (1). The four-year-old was successful in this company at Goodwood three starts back and returned to best form eighteen days ago scoring narrowly in this handicap level at Newmarket. Ticks plenty of boxes. SEA SUITE (2) arrives in strong form after a pair of runner-up efforts in recent weeks at Yarmouth and Sandown including a 0. 75L defeat over the trip recently. Big chance. PLAY ME (8) scored by 0. 5L in a lower class course and distance handicap two outings back. Makes appeal. NEWFANGLED (3) warrants a second look.
