🟣 TODAY and ALL WEEKEND: HOLIDAY HOT-SPOTS
GSTAAD CAN JUST DO IT
⭕ 3.40 Curragh (Irish 2,000 Guineas) I gave you the stats and facts on Thursday but what about the ‘inside information’.
Punters are only privy to ‘what’s going on’ through the betting market and the apparent twists and turns of the stables.
Aidan O’Brien relies on Gstaad with natural front-runner Neolithic there to get the fractions right for his Dewhurst-winning stablemate.
Aidan likes to say that they all run on their merits and there’s no reason why Neolithic can’t make inroads on his current 13lb deficit with Gstaad.
Fozzy Stack switched Thesecretadversary from a million-pound race in the US to run in the Newmarket Guineas, after he’d beaten Power Blue easily at Leopardstown.
But at 20-1 he was no secret adversary behind Bow Echo, finishing fifth, nearly 10 lengths off the runner-up, Gstaad, a length and half behind the third, Distant Storm.
Alparslan improved on his Dewhurst performance (not expected at 50-1) to run second in the Greenham which put him on a level with Distant Storm.
That’s still not enough but I liked his style and he looks good for a place here, though I also respect Go Just Do It, by Kingman out of a mare by the French Guineas and Derby winner, Lope De Vega.
BETDAQ 41.0 but any ‘word’ from inside the yard would be welcome; it would close the price down up to 25 points.
He is from the family of Shirocco, whose four consecutive 1m 4f wins included the Coronation Cup at Epsom. Can he just go do Gstaad in the final stages?
GOSDEN TRIALS DOUBLE
⭕ 2.00 Goodwood (Cocked Hat Stakes) The former Predominate Stakes was famously won in 1979 by the runaway Derby winner Troy.
Saxon Street can win a second – and final – Derby trial after comfortably taking the Blue Riband test at Epsom last month. He is the only one in today’s race booked for a return to Epsom on the big day.
⭕ 3.10 Goodwood (Height Of Fashion Stakes) This fillies version, won as the Lupe Stakes by Height Of Fashion in 1982 for Troy’s trainer, Dick Hern, looks much more interesting as an Oaks trial.
Earth Shot’s Nathaniel dam won up to 1m 6f and she will be staying on but a t this 1m 2 f Team Gosden could land a double on the heels of Saxon Street with Brilliant Star (Cracksman out of a Sea The Stars mare who won the Irish Oaks).
PLOT FOR ASCOT CROWN
⭕ 2.20 Haydock (Silver Bowl) Oisin Murphy talked about the Britannia at the royal meeting for Laureate Crown, on whom he won a second time inside a month this Spring when taking the Esher Cup at Sandown.
The gelding has already beaten a big field at Ascot and his sire, Victor Ludorum, liked cut in the ground. Betdaq Betting Exchange 6.9 taken
This also applies at the other end of the handicap to the Sea The Stars colt Blue Courvoisier, claimed off down to 8st 2lb. BETDAQ 14.0
⭕ 2.58 Haydock (Sandy Lane Stakes) Venetian Sun won four in a row as a juvenile, beating Gstaad in the Morny, and dropping back from the 1,000 Guineas to this 6f is a good move. BETDAQ 4.2
Another for William Haggas, Division could reverse recent firm-ground Ascot form with Coppull on this easier surface, when sixth home was Brussels, who has won only his maiden, always a bad sign.
