It fair to say its not the greatest card for Arc day and with several short price favourites it isn't the greatest betting card either.
For the Arc itself it's interesting to see Makahiki has begun to drift already. A bit of an enditment of the shambles that antepost betting has become. I will giving Found another go given the fact that this has been the plan for her all year. She ran a good one at the Irish Champions Stakes and if she comes on again from that she has got every chance. Postponed is the one they all have to beat with his growing list of group one wins. I wouldnt rule out New Bay either. He was up with the pace last time when it clearly suited to be held up. He stayed going to the line to finish fourth then which was a credible performance.
The opener on the card looks one of the better betting races and I will give one more chance to Promise To be True. She was poor at the Curragh but that was a strong race and she looked a good prospect on her first two starts. So I will have a go at 5/1.
I'm really looking forward to seeing So Mi Dar run in the Prix de l'Opera. She has won all her races with a bit to spare so far and should she do similarly in this she could be capable of anything. But at odds on I'll be watching without a financial interest.
Here's hoping with get some good races and best of luck with your bets.
