rØøk"
Whether
it be "the race of the day" or a small prize round the gaffs, we
will attempt to use our knowledge of the formbook to highlight the fancied
horses participating each day and their
characteristics and requirements. Hopefully this 'second opinion' provides
you with a winner or two each day, or even reinforces your own view on a
particular may even convince you to back some of those horses which we
feel are the "ones to fear", or have decent eachway claims.
whichever is the case, we hope the information is of use to you.
SELECTIONS
- For each race, we have given you who, in our view, are the likeliest
winners; (1er _ THE WINNER?), as well as any runners who could run well at
eachway odds; (E/W ALTERNATIVE) . Any runner from our features are shown
before each race's analysis.

¦¨¨"a rØøk"¨¨¦¨¨¨»-- Favourable Terms, Macadamia, Echoes In Eternity and Hanami appear to hold the strongest claims in this Group 2 event. Sir Michael
Stoute`s filly Favourable Terms is in good form and a replication of her success in landing
Leopardstown`s Matrons Stakes 4 weeks ago will see her going close here. However, I do marginally prefer Macadamia who disappointed behind Russia
Rhythm in the Nassau Stakes at Glorious Goodwood 63 days ago, but is better judged on her previous successes which included a smooth success when landing the Falmouth Stakes at the July meeting.

¦¨¨"a rØøk"¨¨¦¨¨¨»-- Thirty-five runners will be trying their damnest
to land this first prize of £63,800. Plenty of these have chances and cases can be made many of those due to line up. I've trimmed it down to Akshar, Chivalry, Shot To Fame, Jazz Messenger, Persian Lightning, Grand Passion, Zabaglione, Lady Bear, Bone Crusher, Pentecost, Island Light, Tug Of Love,
Millafonic, Able Baker Charlie, Far Lane and Czarina Waltz. Akshar' s 3rd to Naheef in a Group 3 at York a month ago looks good on paper and he is sure to run well. However, I do like Zabaglione who stayed on strongly to finish only 1½
lengths behind Navado in a similar event at Newbury 2 weeks ago. If the draw is kind and he gets a clear run throughout I can see him going close. Those looking for something a much larger odds could do a lot worse than side with the consistent Island Light, in-form Able Baker Charlie or Chivalry who seems to have been laid-out for this race for whom any market support may prove to be significant.

¦¨¨"a rØøk"¨¨¦¨¨¨»--Carry On Katie and Much Faster, [bar possibly Nyramba] look head and shoulders best of those lining up for the
Cheveley Park Stakes. I respect Carry On Katie, who has looks useful in both starts, most recently in the Lowther Stakes at York, however I'll been fortunate to have seen most of Much Faster's races so far, including a
particularly impressive win in the Prix Robert Papin (Group 2) at Maison-Laffitte and I thought she was unlucky last time in the Prix Morny Casinos
Barrière (Group 1) as the prevailing soft ground appeared to sap her stamina and she went from certain
winner with two furlongs to go, to a soundly beaten second to rank outsider Whipper, eventually
finishing 2 lengths behind him, but still 5 lengths in front on Aiden O`Brien
representative Old Deuteronomy. Back on a faster surface we may well see a much better animal and she is certainly worth taking a chance with here
