1.20- tuscania 5/1- made a nice impression on debut and was then seemingly on the wrong side when a decent 5th behind zoowraa in a listed event on very soft ground. Ryan moore didn't get overly serious with her when her chance had gone and guided her on with hands. Improvement should be possible.
1.50- forjatt 10/1- varian team still flying and this horse has had no luck in running this season. Tends to really stay on late and has ran out of room in two starts so far this season. Dettori on this time and hopefully he can find the gaps at the right time. Certainly has ability.
2.25- gamilati (nap) 18/1 ew- really nice form line here. I felt his first maiden was very strong in terms of the three who pulled clear and that is how i selected samitar (16/1) at royal ascot. Gamilati was ahead of him that day and an unlucky loser, and then was miles and miles clear of the rest of the field before being chinned on the line by his stablemate who ran a blinder
the fact remains that gamilati is very much a an above average horse and i am convinced it will excel in a high quality race like this. If it runs in a straight line under pressure it could cause an upset. But i feel it can get close to shumoos.
3.00- memory 8/1 (subject to ground)- if we get the good to firm/good in places as atr suggests at the moment, then memory will be the selection and still has the class to win a big event like this. Had no chance to excel on soft ground at ascot but at least that will have brought her on.
3.35- menelik 16/1 ew (projected) string of decent entries suggests this one might be ready to go immediately which can be key in these races. Will be better horses out of the race than this in time, but a bold show looks likely i feel.
4.10- eagles peak 6/1 (projected)- market looks likely to speak in favour of thimaar but this is beautifully bred and i do feel stoute's horses are turning the corner. Good time to follow his newcomers.
