The improving BROOME looks the one to be on in the Qatar Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere on Arc day at Longchamp. 10/1 for the O’Brien yard’s number one hope looks simply too good to ignore, and he’s got to be well fancied given he’s his yard’s sole representative in a race they…
1pt win Laugh A Minute @5/1, 15:00 Ascot, Saturday
Limato has bounced back to form by winning back-to-back Listed races, but he’s still a long way below the Group One winner we saw a few years ago and there’s plenty of rain forecast for his assignment at Ascot today, which takes away from his chance. He’s still got a…
1pt win Muthmir @5/1, 13:50 Ascot, Saturday
Ronald Harris sprung with a 33/1 winner in Just Glamorous to claim this 12 months ago, and he runs two horses with Under The Covers arguably the more interesting of his pair. She warranted strong consideration at odds of 16/1 having put in two back-to-back career bests and may be…
1pt win Loxley @100/30, 15:30 Longchamp, Saturday
I’m not really sure what Charlie Appleby was thinking running LOXLEY in the St Leger, after saying he wouldn’t try the trip again after he was beaten at Newmarket earlier this season by Wells Farhh Go. I hope that non-staying St Leger performance hasn’t left a mark as I’m certain he’s the…
1pt each-way Clemmie @15/2, 15:15 Newmarket, Saturday
This looks a trappy renewal of the Sun Chariot Stakes, a Group One for fillies over the Guineas course and distance at Newmarket, as there are an awful lot of live chances and we have significant previous with the favourite. Wind Chimes has been our bogey horse this season as…
1pt ante-post win Roaring Lion @8/1, QEII Stakes, Ascot, 20th October
Connections have raised the possibility of star three-year-old ROARING LION running in the QEII on Champions Day at Ascot, which looks highly likely given he hails from the same yard as Cracksman, the reigning Champion Stakes champ, as it’s unlikely they’ll take each other on. A Group One win at a…
0.75pts each-way Danceteria @10/1, 0.75pts each-way Stylehunter @14/1, 15:40 Newmarket, Saturday
The bet365 Cambridgeshire is a difficult puzzle to solve with 35 runners lining-up. There aren’t a huge amount of significant trends in this race, but it’s generally advantageous to have a horse that stays a 1m 2f and with no obvious draw bias on the straight track, it seems wise…
1pt each-way Cape Of Good Hope @6/1, 13:50 Newmarket, Saturday
This is the time of year the Aidan O’Brien yard’s juveniles hit top gear, as his progeny of champion sire Galileo begin to boss the staying two-year-olds divisions. There’s top-class racing at Newmarket tomorrow and plenty of sons and grandsons of the late Scatt Daddy are amongst the favourites, including…
0.75pts each-way Growl @9/1, 0.75pts each-way Teruntum Star @16/1, 15:50 Ayr, Saturday
The Ayr Gold Cup has only seen two favourites win since the 80’s and you have to think Fozzy Stack’s raider Son Of Rest can go close because he is now officially 10lbs well-in for his second place finish in a Group 1 at the Curragh last weekend. He has…
Newbury Saturday tips: Extra Elusive (8/1) and Equilateral (9/2)
Newbury’s 2.20 can go to EXTRA ELUSIVE at a very backable price of 8/1. He beat some good horses on soft ground as a juvenile, so shouldn’t fear any rain, and looked dynamite last time out on the all-weather when quickening eye-catchingly well off a slow pace. This looks winnable as the…
