HEAT’S ON FOR JESS
CAYENNE PEPPER (3.35) looks another classy juvenile for Jessica Harrington in Fillies’ Mile at Newmarket.
The daughter of Australia stretched her unbeaten record to three when hammering
in a Curragh Group 3. That was a particularly strong event and this high-class twoyear-old can take the promotion to Group 1 level in her stride.
Harrington also unleashes
Wonderful So VALERIA MESSALINA (2.25)
in the Oh So Sharp Stakes. The BY GARRY OWEN exciting juvenile showed both class and guts to get the better of on debut in a competitive Naas maiden.
I doubt we’ve seen the best of this talented filly who can see off exciting rivals on her first try at Group 3 company.
Now The King PLATINUM STAR (1.50)
can take another big step forward in the Cornwallis Stakes. Saeed bin Suroor’s colt has held his own against the best this term and bolted up in a six-furlong Ripon Listed contest.
The son of showed impressive speed that day and can follow up in this five-furlong Group 3.
Lope de Vega MUSTASHRY (3.00)
can get his season back on track in the Group 2 Challenge Stakes.
Sir Michael Stoute’s gelding is classy at best but hasn’t scored since landing the Group 1 Lockinge at Newbury in May.
However, he doesn’t lack for pace and can soon regain the winning thread for his world-class handler back over seven furlongs.
WAARIF (2.40)
looks the best of David O’Meara’s squad in the Racebets Handicap at York.
The useful gelding remains well treated after beating the in-form in a red-hot contest at Ayr’s Western Meeting.
Kynren HAMISH (3.50)
can give William Haggas yet another winner on the Knavesmire. The three-year-old is nicely unexposed as a stayer after comfortably landing the Melrose over course and distance back in August.
Go wild for in the Grade 2 Persian War Novices’ Hurdle at Chepstow.
Alan King’s charge made rapid progress last term and signed off with a fine second to
at Sandown. The six-year-old wasn’t stopping at the end of a stiff two miles that day so he can bag this Group 2 upped four furlongs.
