Hi all,
Another profitable day to advised prices. Which could have been even better if I had put up Recon Mission who I said could outrun his odds at York.
Sunday’s racing looks to have a pre-Royal Ascot feel about it and with the going soft at Doncaster & Salisbury, I can happily leave alone. Over the English Channel it’s Prix de Diane or French Oaks at Chantilly and I have selection for the French fillies middle distance classic.
Doncaster
3:55 – Recent eyecatcher Camacho Chief runs here. The 4-year-old has the soft ground in his favour and will also be suited by the drop back to 5f. I will be disappointed if he can’t take advantage of conditions today.
Camacho Chief – 9/4 – Gen
Chantilly
3:05 – The hot favourite is HH the Aga Khan’s Siyarafina who made it three from three when winning a Group at Longchamp 21-days ago. She’s the one they all must beat on form, but the draw hasn’t been kind to her as she drawn out widest in 16. It will take a very good Christophe Soumillon ride to overcome it.
Commes was runner-up to the favourite on her seasonal reappearance and has since gone onto finish a nose second in the French 1,000 Guineas. On pedigree she should be an even better filly over 1m 2 ½ f and trainer Jean-Claude Rouget has won the race four times in the last ten years. Looks to have a solid each way chance on ground that should suit her.
Commes – each way
Cheers
John
