ON THE EDGE OF GLORY
SIDE with Ralph Beckett’s EDGE OF THE WORLD (7.10) on another cracking evening card at Windsor.
The Fastnet Rock filly has progressed rapidly this term and can make light of another 4lb hike after her game defeat of
at Leicester. Cash in on Willie Muir’s
(6.10) in the opening five-furlong handicap.
The in-form Sepoy gelding was a fine second to the reopposing Spot Lite at Bath and should be
Priscilla’s Dream CENT FLYING
BY GARRY OWEN able to reverse the placings at today’s weights.
BUFFER ZONE
(7.40) can claim the trappy feature sprint for Roger Charlton.
The son of improved again when scoring over course and distance last time and sits on an inviting mark for his handicap debut.
Hugo Palmer’s string are in good heart and he can add to his tally with
Bated Breath MORNING SKYE
(8.10). The three-year-old was unlucky to run into the thriving Sea Youmzain at Haydock and can go one better in this weaker event. David Lanigan’s
(8.40) rates the best bet in a competitive fillies’ contest.
The three-year-old relished the step up to 1m 2f when opening her account at Redcar and can do plenty of damage off a fair mark in handicaps.
Jessica Harrington is keeping her options open with
WAITING WORTH Alpha Centauri.
The brilliant Coronation Stakes heroine is entered in all the top mile events but the Irish handler is adamant she will only run on fast ground.
Harrington is keen to end the Mastercraftsman filly’s campaign in the Breeders’ Cup Mile at Churchill Downs in November.
Rhododendron
will step up in trip after her poor run in last week’s Queen Anne at Royal Ascot. Aidan O’Brien’s filly became outpaced over a mile in the Group 1 and could return to 1m 2f in the Eclipse at Sandown or the Nassau at Glorious Goodwood.
The Ballydoyle handler also said Sergei Prokofiev could try to build on his Coventry third in August’s Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh or Deauville’s Prix Morny.
O’Brien added that Saxon Warrior had recovered well from his Epsom Derby exertions and was primed for Saturday’s Irish equivalent at the Curragh.
