Maybe burning money against the Guineas form but front two awfully short in a race that throws up the odd shock. Perhaps Tariq. PCH seems to hold him in good regard and seems to have been held back.
But here goes with Silca Chiave who has been waited with - she looked ready to rumble at Newbury, and was my paddock pick. Seemed more muscular than the rest so less concerned (than I should be) that fillies don’t win this - ideal wide draw for her and might get a tail from the favourite next door.
Moyglare run aint too shabby but egg wipes at the ready.
Windsor - Initially drawn to the front two. Nannina is a star who has lost her way but the Waseema chat is compelling – that will do me at the price. POW - This is tougher than swinging a cat in the Cheltenham boozer of the same name. Gonna leave it. One to watch. RHC - A great race in which Pride of Nation has the profile but may go off terribly short. So I’ll have a go at getting that one beat…
Military Cross – co3f for last years Brittania and interesting jock booked now like then. Ran a cracker in the international.
Better drawn this time and change of scenery to boot…Trafalgar Square – at once off putting and yet interesting that he’s shorter than I expected. Doesn’t seem to have had much luck and must be hard work to train. Think I’m right to say he had to win last time to get in. Both are interesting. Also gonna throw in Supaseus though the shrewdies have been at this – goes well fresh and took care of Pinpoint FTO as a 4yo QM - Taking on the front two seems like folly. So I wont.
Sandringham - 6/10 single figure winners in a 3yo fillies hcap? Surely would be back in the battle cruiser by now. Truly Enchanting, Graduation and Divine Night might have more to offer in the quest for value. I can't make my mid up regarding this Andre Fabre runner. Ground will likely to suit him, as looking at his last two runs, it's suggested that this is the going that brings out the best of him, and a four length defeat of Speciosa, and five length defeat of Queen Anne third, Turtle Bowl, backs this up considerably.
However, even though he could have improved, I don't think any of his runs rate as well as his third in this race to Ouija Board last year, and he's yet to run to that mark this season in my book, and even though there's nothing to suggest he won't, I'd rather have a multiple Group 1 carrying my money at 5/2 than him.
Recently transferred to Michael Jarvis' yard, he has to step up considerably to show here. A defeat of Exhibit One the best form to his name, and he's a mediocre Group 3 journeyman so shouldn't figure here.......
