Poetic justice on the cards at Newmarket

Dubawi filly Poetic Charm can brush aside rise in class to win Group Three race

POETIC CHARM excelled on her debut in July and can be backed to handle a steep rise in class in the Sweet Solera Stakes at Newmarket.

The Dubawi filly is one of the least experienced horses in the Group Three over seven furlongs, but she is still likely to come out on top for the Godolphin operation.

Trainer Charlie Appleby will head to his local racecourse expectant of a huge run from Poetic Charm after she did so well on her debut over this course and distance last month.

Even in spite of having encountered trouble in running, the young filly bossed a strong-looking maiden, with jockey William Buick not needing to get overly serious.

Poetic Charm ended up winning by a length from Ballydoyle inmate Sizzling.

And though it is disappointing that rival has since yet to poke her head in front, a few horses in the field have subsequently found the winner’s enclosure – most significantly fellow Sweet Solera rivals Juliet Capulet and Jousi.

Granted nominal progress, Poetic Charm can uphold the form in no uncertain terms, and in doing so provide Godolphin with a first winner of this race since 2013.

Keep close tabs on AY AY in the preceding handicap over a mile and a quarter.

The David Elsworth-trained threeyear-old left a lasting impression over this course and distance a fortnight ago when he claimed fifth place behind Anythingtoday, beaten just over two lengths.

He runs at Newmarket off a teasing mark of 88, with his cause aided by the excellent David Egan, who claims 5lb.
