5.55 Raincoat 15 pts Some nice pieces of form, was second when well beaten by authorized in the dante and also third in a slowly run race at goodwood in a group 3, has also won twice first time out so seems to go well fresh, things didnt work out in leger but even so looks the pick of these on form, ground ideal and trainer has started the season very well.

3.50 Al Qasi 15 pts Put up a very nice win as a 3 year old at asc. and looked set for better things and has stepped up into a group performer, a couple of places in group 2s and a group 3 winner, not really a miler and at 6f often stays on so 7f looks probably its ideal trip, trainer made a good start to the season early on (bit lacking last week or so) and ground with a little bit of cut would be no problem at all.
4.25 Harry the Hawk 15 pts bids for a hat trick today and despite four pounds rise from lto looks capable of doing so. Having won at newc last start 07, he won first time up this season, when he may have been lucky to beat Blue Spinnaker but still did so and with that horse winning since and the fourth in great style that looks a pretty hot race and with similar conditions today, he could well defy four pound rise.
Wont bet on 5.00 but Tarten Bearer is expected to win and going onto much better things like his brother, golan did.

3.55 Medicine Path 15 pts Impressed with this one lto, Dont panic was much fancied stepping up in class but this one proved too good and looks as though he is building on his promised as a two year old for PCH. At 2 it had some good form in patches, placed in group 2 and 1 (behind authorized.) Things didnt work out at 3 but won at nott at the end of 2007 and did so again on a/w impressively in listed contest before win at donc. Looks capable of stepping up into group 2 level here with some other rivals having a few question marks (Major Cadeux trip, Rob Roy sharpness and also trip)
4.30 Centennial 15 pts Attracted some support for the derby and had some good pieces of form at 2. Third to stablemate Ravens Pass on debut before two nice wins on quick ground and then second to the potentially nice and Peeping Fawn related, Thewayyouare lto. Connections obviously feel the horse will stay strongly in time with derby entires and therefore should have strong claims at todays increased trip with trainer, Gosden continuing to prove he is one of the best trainers around. whitcombe Minister maybe the best e.w alternative. |
