18:15 – Raqiya
Raqiya is going to need a little bit of luck from a starting position in number 10, but we have the right man on top in Frankie Dettori. It looks as if we have some natural speed drawn down towards our left-hand side too, which helps. She steps up in distance for the very first time but it looks within range given the prevailing conditions.
19:00 – Pleasant (each-way)
Pleasant looks to have been slightly overlooked in the market for the excellent Juddmonte operation given that she has a strong piece of winning form at this venue, despite stumbling quite badly at the starting stalls. She still regained her composure to win easily. There could be a burn-up on the front end and with stamina in her pedigree, that could prove vital late on.
19:41 – Believing
Believing hasn’t had the best of luck with the draw this season, but she is thriving and now has got the plum draw in stall one here. Ryan Moore jumps back in the saddle and she also gets the blinkers on to help her focus.
20:21 – Thorpedo Anna
Thorpedo Anna is odds-on for the home team and she sets a very high standard on the figures. It will be a shock if she can’t make it a very impressive seven wins from nine runs.
21:01 – Emily Upjohn
Emily Upjohn is reunited with Dettori who has been on board for four of her five victories, including twice at the top level. Her form is working out incredibly well and her potent change of gear back on a fast surface can be the deciding factor.
21:41 – City of Troy to win & Newgate (each-way)
We all want to see Epsom Derby winner and potential superstar City of Troy get the job done. It may all come down to whether he can break on terms with the pace setters and hold an early position in the run to the first turn. It looks sure to be a hot early gallop that may set this race up for something to close from the back of the pack. Frankie Dettori could take advantage on Newgate if the pace is sizzling upfront. He’s on an older improver from the top Bob Baffert stable who may get a slice of the pie at a huge each-way price.
23:45 – Notable Speech
Notable Speech’s job has been made slightly easier with one of the leading contenders Ramatuelle coming out. His win at Goodwood in the Sussex Stakes means that his style for this mile contest around two turns should be perfect. He’ll bounce out, sit and stalk just behind the pace and pounce with a killer change of gear. Easy!
