Queen To Be Crowned
Wednesday’s UK racing is at Salisbury, Beverley, Newton Abbot, Bath and Kempton. There’s Listed action at Salisbury, at 3.50, when the 2016 renewal of the Upavon Fillies’ Stakes gets underway. John Gosden’s Journey won in 2015, but Gosden won’t be represented this year. Roger Varian’s Sharja Queen looks the one to beat, following strong performances in Class 3 handicaps – even though she was outclassed in the G1 1,000 Guineas. Sagaciously can also be a factor.
The 3.30 at Beverley looks an excellent opportunity for Art Of Elegance to grab just her 2nd career victory. She’s been expensive to back, but came 2nd in a Class 3 race last time out and will race off the same mark today.
Nicky Henderson’s Recognition runs in the 2.40 at Newton Abbot and the Rip Van Winkle gelding can build upon his debut hurdles win at Market Rasen. Invocation looks the biggest threat.
Head For The Beach
Bath’s 6.50 should see plenty of market support for Go On Go On Go On, who has won her last 2 races. A 7lb hike looks problematic though and Sir Mark Prescott’s Cocoa Beach is preferred. There was much to like about her 2nd place at Newcastle, following a long lay-off.
2-year-olds will contest the 7.10 at Kempton, with just 4 runners taking part in this 6f nursery on the polytrack. Mark Johnston’s Morning Suit won handsomely here in June and the Street Boss colt looks capable of following-up.
Listed Encounter, In Ireland
There are 7 races at Gowran Park, including the Listed Hurry Harriet Stakes. Adool and Assume dominate the betting, but an each-way wager on Etched appeals more. The Dansili filly impressed when winning at Naas, last time out and Aidan O’Brien won this encounter last year with Easter.
