The Evening Punt: Tom Collins' free horse racing tip on Saturday evening

BANKER

Australis (8.15 Salisbury)

Showed bits and pieces of form in three novice runs before almost exploiting an opening mark of 72 on handicap debut when second to a Sir Mark Prescott improver last time. Slowly away that day, Australis ran well to get as close as he did and although the handicapper has hit him with a 3lb rise for his runner-up effort, he remains a well handicapped horse who is open to plenty of improvement over staying trips.
