G3 – 1200m – Turf

1

Carla’s Way

Justified favouritism and her expensive purchase price with a smooth debut victory at Doncaster. Her nearest rival that day has enhanced the form with a runaway victory since.

2

Dawn Charger

Gained a maiden win over 1000m here on her second start and followed that up with a victory over this trip at Carlisle. Clearly very fast.

3

Do It With Style

Although her trainer was worried about the slow ground for her debut that didn’t stop her winning that 1200m maiden at The Curragh without her rider having to get at all busy.

4

Flaccianello

Although needing strong riding for much of the trip she was ahead where it mattered to win a 1000m Catterick maiden early this month.

5

Gushing Gold

Squeezed for room at a crucial stage she made a promising career start when second in a 1000m novices’ event last month.

6

Jabaara

The stable have won this twice and look to have a live candidate in this filly who, despite not having a smooth passage, proved too strong for nine rivals over this trip at Newmarket last month.

7

Komat

The mount of Hollie Doyle who has already won a G1 this week. Showed plenty of pace on both starts, winning on her debut and then third in a Listed event at Vichy. Will probably challenge late.

8

Mapmaker

Improved from her first to her second start when defeating 14 rivals in a Newbury maiden, always up with the pace and quickening nicely.
           

9

Matrika

Reportedly lazy at home but she showed plenty of zip to gain a first-time-out success in a maiden at The Curragh last month. The stable won this last year.

10

Navassa Island

Very nearly won a G3 over 1200m at Naas on her debut run, and she may have won that had she got a clear run when she needed it. A strong Irish-trained candidate.

11

Passionately

Led near the end to win a 1100m maiden on fast ground at Wetherby this month. But in the context of this G3 that was not a strong race.

12

Persian Dreamer

Outspeeded her rivals in a 1000m Newmarket maiden on her debut. Not as good when favourite for a York Listed race subsequently even if she didn’t enjoy an ideal trip.

13

Porta Fortuna

Has won both her starts, latterly when – though a bit lazy near the end – she held on to land a G3 over this trip at Naas last month.

14

Pretty Crystal

Attracted strong betting support prior to her debut and despite showing inexperience she was an impressive winner of that fast-ground 1200m novices’ event at Ripon this month.

15

Rating

Always close to the speed she finished third in a maiden at Kempton recently. That represented progress from her debut, but she’s very unlikely to win this.

16

Sarakana

Despite being a 40-1 outsider and getting agitated before the start she still managed to ultimately gain an easy victory in a 1200m fast-ground Haydock maiden last month

17

Snafiya

Respectable placed efforts on all three starts, but she looks very vulnerable in this strongly contested Royal Ascot G3.

18

Soprano

Strong in the betting for her debut and showed why when winning that 1000m Newmarket maiden last month. The second has won since, and she appeals as shortlist material.
