Selection:- Precision Break 12/1 e/w
A tough race to start the card off with, mainly due to the fact there is no American form to go by over this distance, so as such have to go with the European horses in this and Precision Break looks best at the prices.
The selection is proven at the distance and whilst having never raced on dirt he has an American dirt pedigree so is bred to go on the surface and at the current odds of 12/1 looks a good e/w bet.

Selection:- Winter Memories 5/2 Win
In years gone by I would probably have looked for a European filly on turf as we generally have the upper hand, however this year Winter Memories lines up for the Americans and this filly could just be the real deal, she showed a ready turn off foot last time out and with further improvement likely I’m hopeful of a good run.

Selection:-Â Informed Decision 6/1 e/w
The selection is the reigning champion having won this race last year, she has been in good form this season and despite being beaten last time out over 6 furlongs she was unlucky in running and is better at 7 furlongs so in my opinion she is over priced at 6/1 and should go close from a good draw in 4.

Selection:- Awesome Feather 6/1 e/w
The selection seems to be a bit underestimated for this race, in my opinion she should be a strong favourite having won 5 on the bounce, Ok she has not run in Grade 1 company yet but has won all her races like a smart filly and fully expect her to go close again today,so at 6/1 is a good e/w bet.

Selection:-Â Midday 11/10 Win
It has be Midday, with Sariska retired she is the best middle distance filly/mare in Europe and possibly the world now and as such you have to say 11/10 is a good price.
The ground is a slight worry being so firm but she should be able to get away with it and will be very hard to beat.

Selection:- Bind Luck 2/1 Win
The selection is real class act, she is the winner of five grade 1 races, including the Kentucky Oaks on this track and despite the wide draw I fully expect her-granted luck in running to be very hard to beat.
