Magical start to super day
THERE’S some quality midweek racing at Newmarket and York today and ITV4 will be screening eight races.
The coverage starts at Newmarket and MAGICAL MORNING
can complete a quickfire treble since the resumption of UK racing in the Bahrain International Sir Henry Cecil Stakes.
John Gosden’s promising three-yearold followed up an initial success at Yarmouth by defying a penalty to win smartly at Doncaster.
He looks sure to progress further and the yard has been in fine fettle of late.
At York, SARDINIA SUNSET is understandably a strong favourite in the EBF Marygate Fillies’ Stakes.
She caught the eye when a fast-finishing fourth to Campanelle in the Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot and can star here.
Back at HQ, MISS YODA looks a live hope in the Group Three Bahrain Trophy Stakes.
John Gosden’s filly disappointed in the Ribblesdale Stakes at Royal Ascot but her form when winning the Oaks Trial at Lingfield suggests she has the quality to bounce back.
The Group Three Tattersalls Musidora Stakes at York can go the way of RICETTA
John Gosden’s filly has won both of her only two appearances to date and Frankie Dettori can turn that into a hat-trick.
TACTICAL
could hold the key to the Group Two Tattersalls July Stakes at Newmarket.
Andrew Balding’s two-year-old came on massively from the third place on his Newmarket debut to win the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot.
He can build on that form over an extra furlong and keep the reopposing Yazaman at arm’s length.
HIGHEST GROUND
is certainly the one to watch in the Group two Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Dante Stakes at York.
This unbeaten son of Frankel, trained by Sir Michael Stoute, really caught the eye by beating highly rated Waldkonig at Haydock last month, coming right away in the closing stages.
In the bet 365 Heritage Handicap at Newmarket, MERAAS
absolutely hosed in at Pontefract last time out, winning by an easing-down nine lengths, and can strike again for Mark Johnston.
In the final offering from Newmarket,
ENBIHAAR
is highly fancied to take the Group Two Princess Of Wales’s Tattersalls Stakes.
The mare won five on the bounce in the UK last year, snaring three nice Group Two prizes along the way, before falling short in a Group One on Arc Day at Longchamp.
With a history of running really well when fresh, look no further this time.
