Default King George & York Stakes

Nothing from the last bet.

Actual bets
Wins/Runs 10/36
Stakes 1525pts
Returns 1874.45pts
Profit/Loss +349.45pts

York Stakes
10.5f Group2
3yo+

Tajaweed has 4stars
Pipedreamer & Campanologist have 3stars

Tajaweed looked a progressive sort when winning the Dee stakes on his seasonal return & then ran ok in the Derby when eighth & appearing not to stay. Drops back in trip here & can use his good turn of foot here.
Pipedreamer & Campanologist are closely matched on Eclipse form & much depends if the the latter gets a soft lead in which case he might just do enough in front.

I'll go with Tajaweed here.

Bet.
Tajaweed 50pts @ 3/1 Sportingbet.

King George
12f Group1
3yo+

Duke of Marmalade & Youmzain have 3stars.

A tactical affair with Youmzain needing to come off a strong gallop which he ought to get from the O'Brien team.
Duke of Mamalade looked impressive at Royal Ascot, tries this trip for the first time & should stay. Looks the one to beat but no bet at the price.

Rio.
