ENABLE 1/1 – Everything there is to say has been said about this wonderful mare who has won ten of her eleven races including two Arcs and a Breeders Cup Turf. The lack of a recent run is not a concern. The only negative is that she has never won over this distance.
MAGICAL 11/2 – Has been enjoying a fabulous season with three wins ant around this trip in Ireland including the Group 1 Tattersals gold cup. Second at Royal Ascot last time on unsuitable going. Was also second behind ENABLE in the Breeders Cup. .
CIRCUS MAXIMUS 6/1 – Won the Dee Stakes at Chester over this trip before finishing sixth in the Derby. Dropped back in trip to a mile when winning at Royal Ascot.
TELECASTER 14/1 – Won the Dante at York before finishing last in the Derby. Return to this trip will suit.
Conclusion
It is difficult to oppose ENABLE and If this race was over a mile and a half I would be all over her but its not and even though she has speed may find things difficult against the proven ten furlong horse
MAGICAL 11/2 who is my choice for the race.
