2m2f (Row) Club Godolphin Cesarewitch Handicap (Heritage Handicap) (Class 2) (3yo+) I’ve seen much stronger renewals of this race in the past so I’d say the Irish staying Handicap form will be lightyears ahead of the British. The top two in the market both have unexposed profiles off long breaks,…
0.5pts win Anna Swan @18/1, 0.5pts win Ballet Slippers @22/1, 15:35 Newmarket, Friday
1m (Row) bet365 Fillies’ Mile (Group 1) (Class 1) (2yo) The market is strong in favour of the May Hill Stakes form where Desert Flower beat January, and I don’t see why those places would be reversed. Aidan O’Brien saddles three runners and I suspect they all have chances of winning. Ryan Moore has…
1pt win Hanalia @12/1, 16:05 Longchamp, Sunday
1m2f Prix de l’Opera Longines (Group 1) (3yo+ Fillies & Mares) (Grande Course) (Turf) (3yo+) In possibly the most competitive race of the day, I don’t believe there is a standout pick. Sparkling Plenty could really benefit from the drop back to 1m 2f and softer ground having been highly…
Arc day selections: Henri Matisse, Houquetot, Sosie, Al Riffa, Start Of Day
7f Qatar Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere (Group 1) (2yo No Geldings) (New Course) (Turf) (2yo) There’s a very solid look to the Irish form here and despite toying with taking on HENRI MATISSE, his trainer had four winners on the card yesterday and he’s clearly the most talented horse in this race. He’s…
1pt win Tribalist 9/1, 16:40 Longchamp, Sunday
7f Qatar Prix de la Foret Presente par Education Above All (Group 1) (3yo+) (New Course) (Turf) (3yo+) The old boy Kinross runs for the fourth time in the Foret and he was back to form last time out with a successful appearance. Ramatuelle could be set to run at…
1pt win Starlust 10/1, 1pt win Kerdos 16/1, 14:05 Longchamp, Sunday
5f Prix de l’Abbaye de Longchamp Longines (Group 1) (2yo+) (Sprint Course) (Turf) (2yo+) Bradsell might be the best sprinter in Europe at the moment and a draw in stall 9 may not be beyond him for a race where being drawn low is a massive advantage. He renews his…
1pt each-way Mosaique @14/1, 16:00 Parislongchamp, Saturday
1m6f Qatar Prix de Royallieu (Group 1) (3yo+ Fillies & Mares) (Grande Course) (Turf) (3yo+) Term Of Endearment is a very worthy favourite for this contest and is clearly improving for Henry De Bromhead. But this contest has a wide-open feel with plenty in here needing to prove they stay…
1pt win Relaxx @9/2, 14:50 Parislongchamp, Saturday
1m Arqana Series – Haras de Bouquetot Criterium d’Automne (Conditions) (2yo) Not the easiest race to weigh-up here with several maidens in the line-up. Coolmore have got an entry in Mount Kilimanjaro, who might be better than his first couple of starts, but it’s hard to say and he seems…
1pt win Almaqam @17/2, 16:35 Longchamp, Saturday
1m2f (1m1f165y) Qatar Prix Dollar (Group 2) (3yo+) (Grande Course) (Turf) (3yo+) A good betting race. I like the German raider, Calif, on form but the Group One penalty is killer. Anmaat won this two seasons ago and has barely put a hoof wrong since, with his only defeat when conceding weight to…
1pt win Rayevka @9/1, 14:25 Newmarket, Saturday
6f (Row) Juddmonte Cheveley Park Stakes (Group 1) (Fillies) (Class 1) (2yo) I’m against Moyglare winner Lake Victoria as she’s looked like a miler so far and is yet to clock a sub 11 second furlong, whereas a more sprinting type like Babouche did four times last time out. She might lack the speed…
