7f (Row) Tattersalls Stakes (Registered As The Somerville Tattersall Stakes) (Group 3) (Colts & Geldings) (Class 1) (2yo) This looks ripe for a bet as Trident’s price looks prohibitive given the strength and unexposed profiles of his opposition. I’m not buying Ribhi’s chances on account of him being unlucky last time out – good…
1pt each-way Popmaster @8/1, 15:40 Ayr, Saturday
6f Virgin Bet Ayr Gold Cup Handicap (Heritage Handicap) (Class 2) (3yo+) Great Ambassador and Commanche Falls fought out a great finish in the Stewards’ Cup with the latter getting on top late on back in August. They represent the top two favourites in the market but both have been…
1pt win Gis A Sub @8/1, 1pt win Wings Of War @14/1, 16:00 Newbury, Saturday
6f Dubai Duty Free Mill Reef Stakes (Group 2) (Class 1) (2yo) A good betting heat with lots of chances. Dhabab is priced up short because his form was franked in a big way by Native Trail, but he does keep getting beaten as favourite. I’m going for two in this – rather…
1pt win Speak Of The Devil @9/2, 16:40 Longchamp, Sunday
7f Qatar Prix du Pin (Group 3) (3yo+) (New Course) (Turf) (3yo+) SPEAK OF THE DEVIL was just a neck behind Guineas winner Mother Earth in the Prix Rothschild with Sagamiyra splitting them. That’s top class form as No Speak Alexander, who won on yesterday’s card, was well beaten in behind. Prior…
1pt win Sonnyboyliston @5/1, 16:40 Curragh, Sunday
Lots of familiar names in the Irish St. Leger and who would put is passed Search For A Song winning three in a row. She should be primed for this although has certainly had a much lighter campaign leading into this race than most years. Twilight Payment also looked in…
1pt each-way Mooniesta @11/1, 14:55 Curragh, Sunday
This is a good looking renewal of the Group 1 Flying Five at The Curragh. Winter Power is a warm order favourite following her Nunthorpe win and would have been for this even without the boost given to that form from Emaraaty Ana’s win in the Group 1 Sprint Stakes.…
1pt win Mojo Star @15/2, 15:35 Doncaster, Saturday
1m6½f (1m6f115y) Cazoo St Leger Stakes (Group 1) (British Champions Series) (No Geldings) (Class 1) (3yo) We can take on Hurricane Lane here as we’re getting plenty of big odds elsewhere and this is a different type of race to those he’s been winning in. Sir Lucan looks a big price at 20/1 as…
1pt win Lusail @3/1, 14:40 Doncaster, Saturday
7f (7f6y) Champagne Stakes (Group 2) (Colts & Geldings) (Class 1) (2yo) I can’t help but think the market has got a bit carried away with Reach For The Moon on account of him being owned by the Queen. He’s priced like a near certainty but he’s up against a really tough and consistent…
1pt win Epona Plays @16/1, 13:40 Leopardstown, Saturday
1m Coolmore America “Justify” Matron Stakes (Group 1) (Fillies & Mares) (3yo+) This does look an open race if you can see past Guineas winner Mother Earth, who looks rock solid receiving weight. However, I want to be on EPONA PLAYS at 16/1 as 10f looked to have stretched her in the…
1pt win John The Baptist @20/1, 13:10 Leopardstown, Saturday
1m KPMG Champions Juvenile Stakes (Group 2) (2yo) This is a puzzling race but one thing that’s clear is Maritime Wings has the best form on account of two seconds to Point Lonsdale. There are a few tempters in here but I’ve gone with once-raced maiden winner JOHN THE BAPTIST at 20/1.…
