1m Qatar Prix Marcel Boussac – Criterium des Pouliches (Group 1) (2yo Fillies) (Grande Course) (Turf) (2yo) Raclette is spoken of in glowing terms by trainer Andre Fabre, but with the alarm bells already sounding over the state of the ground, I’m all over her stablemate ZELLIE for this race. With form…

1m2f  (1m1f165y) Qatar Prix Dollar (Group 2) (3yo+) (Grande Course) (Turf)  (3yo+) SAIYDABAD has strong claims here as an improving three-year-old available at 6/1. If it were to become heavy ground it wouldn’t suit, but I don’t see many in this race that want a bog and the rain isn’t forecast until after…

1m  (Row) Kingdom Of Bahrain Sun Chariot Stakes (Group 1) (British Champions Series)  (Class 1) (3yo+) I backed EPONA PLAYS in the Matron Stakes in her first run in two and a half months, where she stayed on for 5th, beaten less than two lengths on ground that might have been on the fast…

7f Weld Park Stakes (Group 3) (Fillies) 2yo) An interesting looking renewal of this Group 3 contest for two-year-old fillies. Lots of potential improvers here and the market has sided with the proven Group form of Sunset Shiraz. She has put in some strong runs for Gavin Cromwell, but remains…

6f  (Row) Juddmonte Middle Park Stakes (Group 1) (Colts)  (Class 1) (2yo) This looks tough as so many are closely matched on form. The favourite Perfect Power is very strong but likes to come from off the pace and that’s not a run style that suits 6f on the Rowley Mile. The Phoenix Stakes…

6f (Row) Juddmonte Cheveley Park Stakes (Group 1) (Fillies) (Class 1) (2yo) Sacred Bridge could be a superstar filly in the making and Ger Lyons will be expecting a big run from this daughter of Bated Breath. Unbeaten and looking more impressive with each run. She could prove hard to…

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…

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…

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…

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…
