1m Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf (Grade 1) (2yo Fillies) (Turf) (2yo) The European challenge in this race looks weak this year after Opera Singer wasn’t entered and Aidan O’Brien only sends the disappointing Content, who needed every yard of the soft ground mile to win last time. Carla’s Way and Porta…
1pt ante-post win Buchu @10/1, Juvenile Fillies Turf, Friday 3rd November 2023
The European challenge in this race looks weak this year after Opera Singer wasn’t entered and Aidan O’Brien only sends the disappointing Content, who needed every yard of the soft ground mile to win last time. Carla’s Way and Porta Fortuna – along with plenty of the American team –…
1pt win Trueshan @5/2, 13:15 Ascot, Saturday
1m7½f (Inner) Qipco British Champions Long Distance Cup (Group 2) (British Champions Series) (Class 1) (3yo+) This time five weeks ago it would have been hard to see how TRUESHAN could go and win a fourth Long Distance Cup, but a Group 2 Doncaster Cup win and Group 1 Prix…
1pt win Sense Of Duty @12/1, 1pt win Sandrine @12/1, 13:50 Ascot, Saturday
6f Qipco British Champions Sprint Stakes (Group 1) (British Champions Series) (Class 1) (3yo+) The depth of the sprinting division has been questionable all season and with Shaquille out of proceedings the Champion Sprint looks fairly wide-open to me. Kinross could be the best chance of a winner on the…
1p win King Of Steel @4/1, 15:45 Ascot, Saturday
1m (Str) Queen Elizabeth II Stakes (Sponsored By Qipco) (Group 1) (British Champions Mile) (Class 1) (3yo+) The switch to the inner track favours those who don’t want a bog and for that reason Mostahdaf deserves favoritism. A line through Nashwa suggests he has a slender collateral form edge over…
1.5pts win Jackie Oh @7/2, 14:25 Ascot, Saturday
1m3½f (1m3f133y) (Inner) Qipco British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes (Group 1) (British Champions Series) (Class 1) (3yo+) I’m pretty sweet on JACKIE OH here. She has a similar profile to 2017 winner Hydrangea in that she’s a Galileo who’s never tried 12f before and comes into this race off…
1pt each-way Temporize @11/1, 0.75pts each-way Blazeon Five @33/1, 14:40 Newmarket, Saturday
2m2f (Row) Club Godolphin Cesarewitch Handicap (Heritage Handicap) (Class 2) (3yo+) A race dominated by the Irish, National Hunt horses and Willie Mullins in particular in recent years, but the master jumps trainer is probably heading to Newmarket more in hope than in expectation given the credentials of his runners.…
1pt win Alyanaabi @9/1, 14:00 Newmarket, Saturday
7f (Row) Native Trail’s Dewhurst Stakes (Group 1) (No Geldings) (Class 1) (2yo) City Of Troy is a slight doubt to run as O’Brien has always said he wouldn’t run him on soft ground – especially as there’s a Breeders’ Cup race he could go for in a few weeks. Given it looked no…
1pt win Ylang Ylang @5/1, 16:10 Newmarket, Friday
1m (Row) bet365 Fillies’ Mile (Group 1) (Class 1) (2yo) Some high profile tipsters have put up Caught U Looking and she’s duly halved in price overnight. The current odds are shocking even though I did like her as a 10/1 chance. Her sire has been terrible and the form of her win last…
1pt win Circe @11/1, 14:25 Newmarket, Friday
7f (Row) Godolphin Lifetime Care Oh So Sharp Stakes (Group 3) (Fillies) (Class 1) (2yo) This race looks wide open despite there being a short priced favourite. I’ve learnt the hard way Salisbury form rarely translates to the top tracks and Skellet looks way too short on what might be softer ground than she’s…
