Six furlongs at Newmarket brings out the very best in EASTERN IMPACT – and his recent four-length defeat by the high-class Limato in the Group One July Cup over course and distance looks amongst the strongest form on offer in this Listed contest.
With ground to suit he looks a good bet as the 3/1 favourite, though showers are forecast.
It’s currently extremely fast ground at Newmarket, predominantly firm, so it’d take a lot to shift the ground beyond his favour and he looks a likely winner.
With older handicapper Baccarat the nearest rival in the market, there aren’t too many threats, but the three-year-old Raucous is probably the greatest and is a nice price too at 5/1.
1pt win Eastern Impact @3/1, 16:10 Newmarket, Saturday
