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…
1pt ante-post win Onesto @7/1, Breeders' Cup Turf, 4th Nov
I’ve backed Arc third ONESTO for Breeders’ Cup success at Santa Anita, where he’ll get similar fast ground to what was clearly a career best last time out at Longchamp. He ran the final 3f in exactly the same time as the brilliant winner Ace Impact, and that blend of…
1pt win Annaf @9/2, 15:00 Ascot, Saturday
6f John Guest Racing Bengough Stakes (Group 3) (Class 1) (3yo+) Not much separates this group of sprinters with any number holding strong claims. But at the weights it might just be ANNAF that shades it here. Already proven at Group 1 level having finished third in the King Stand…
1pt win Feed The Flame @10/1, 15:05 Longchamp, Sunday
1m4f Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe (Group 1) (3yo+ No Geldings) (Grande Course) (Turf) (3yo+) Not a vintage renewal. Ace Impact looks great and is the one horse that can win and make the race look a good one in hindsight, but he’s a bit keen and hasn’t proven…
1pt win Les Pavots @9/1, 13:50 Longchamp, Sunday
1m Qatar Prix Marcel Boussac – Criterium des Pouliches (Group 1) (2yo Fillies) (Grande Course) (Turf) (2yo) A wide open race where it’s difficult to rule anything out completely. The one I like the most is LES PAVOTS who looks to want the step up in trip after finding the…
1pt win Jackie Oh @13/2, 1pt win Jannah Rose @13/2, 15:50 Longchamp, Sunday
1m2f Prix de l’Opera Longines (Group 1) (3yo+ Fillies & Mares) Blue Rose Cen has already got three Group 1’s on her CV and looked top class when winning the Prix Marcel Boussac on this card last year. She’s clearly a talented filly, but she has shown some cinks in…
