gr/ f Tapit - Sweet and Careless | 3 8 - 9 | - Robert Landry
- Josie Carroll
|
Unbeaten in five starts from 6f to 1m2f including at Grade 1 level. Blasts out and plays catch-me-if-you-can and I my idea of the winner. Current odds 7/2
|
| 2 (2) |  | 112344 | Life Is Sweet f Storm Cat - Sweet Life | 4 8 - 12 | - Garrett Gomez
- John Shirreffs
|
Looked a potential star when gaining three victories on this track at the beginning of the year. Has lost her form recently although it is difficult to fault her run behind stablemate Zenyatta last time. Current odds 10/1
|
| 3 (3) |  | 123711 | Mushka dk f Empire Maker - Sluice | 4 8 - 12 | - Kent Desormeaux
- William Mott
|
Awarded race at Keeneland last time when Provisio disqualified for interference. Almost certainly needs further than this and would be better on a more galloping track. Current odds 16/1
|
| 4 (4) |  | 433222 | Lethal Heat b f Unusual Heat - Lethal Leta | 4 8 - 12 | |
Doesn't win very often but her second spot behind the brilliant Zenyatta over the C&D in a Grade 1 last month looks an outstanding effort and has minor place claims. Current odds 20/1
|
| 5 (5) |  | 15831D | Proviso b f Dansili - Binche | 4 8 - 12 | - John Velazquez
- Robert Frankel
|
The moral winner over the promoted Mushka in the Grade 1 Spinster Stakes at Keeneland, her first start since leaving Andre Fabre, could be a threat on old form. Current odds 7/1
|
| 6 (6) |  | 21-4143 | Cocoa Beach dk m Doneraile Court - Visionera | 5 8 - 12 | - Richard Migliore
- S bin Suroor
|
Runner-up to Zenyatta in this last year and third behind her here last month when Lethal Heat was runner-up and Life Is Sweet was fourth. Looks certain to play a part with her C&D experience to call upon. Current odds 7/1
|
| 7 (7) |  | 213-511 | Music Note b f A.P. Indy - Note Musicale | 4 8 - 12 | - Rajiv Maragh
- S bin Suroor
|
Finished third in this a year ago and appears to have been trained to go two better as she has been in outstanding form since her belated return to action. Looks certain to get involved at the business end. Current odds 7/2
|
| 8 (8) |  | 434212 | Rainbow View
b f Dynaformer - No Matter What | 3 8 - 9 | - Julien Leparoux
- J H M Gosden
|
A filly I have always thought alot of, but has been on the go since early may and has had many a hard race all at the top level in that time so is opposable. Current odds 13/2
|
Conclusion
I strongly fancy prolific winner Careless jewel to bounce out, make all and win, can't see this surface suiting Rainbow View and she has been on the go since May and Music Note rates the main dangor to the selection.
So Selection is
Careless Jewel 7/2
