Neck second to Gitano Hernando in the 9f Goodwood Stakes here last time but more needed tonight.

  • Kent Desormeaux
  • Tim Ice

Top 3yo colt in U.S., winner of the Belmont Stakes and two other Grade 1s, and has to be feared.

4 (4)11-1111Zenyatta m Street Cry -Vertigineux5 8 - 11
  • Mike Smith
  • John Shirreffs

Brilliant filly, unbeaten in last 13 starts and landed the Ladies' Classic here last term. Big chance and the one to beat.

7 (7)511112Gio Ponti  c Tale Of The Cat - Chipeta Springs4 9 - 0
  • Ramon Dominguez

The 12f trip stretched him at Belmont Park but he had won four previous starts between 1m and 11f. Respected.

8 (8)311352Einstein h Spend A Buck - Gay Charm7 9 - 0
  • Julien Leparoux
  • Helen Pitts

Hasn't done much wrong this year but looks held by Gio Ponti on Arlington form in August.

9 (9)146-111Girolamo c A.P. Indy - Get Lucky3 8 - 10
  • Alan Garcia

  • J P Murtagh
  • A P O'Brien

Top-class colt, winner of valuable Group 1s in UK the last twice, and ought to go very close indeed.

 

Current Odds 7/4


11 (11)8-22181Regal Ransom c Distorted Humor - Kelli's Ransom3 8 - 10
  • Richard Migliore

  • John Velazquez
  • Todd Pletcher

Behind Summer Bird last twice but just 1l adrift of him at Belmont Park latest, so no forlorn hope.

 

Current Odds 11/1

  • David Flores
  • Craig Dollase

Smart in his own right but up against it here from outside gate.

 

Current Odds 66/1


My Conclusion

 

I have a strong rule and that is stick with winning horses till they lose so as such Zenyatta really is a confident selection.

 

Selection:-

 

Zenyatta 11/4
