1400m – Turf
1 |
Soldier’s Gold |
Improved to win Class 4 Handicap over 1200m at Ascot convincingly in July. Since well held in Group 2 over 1400m. In the mix. |
2 |
Balon D’Or |
Not yet lived up to early promise. Well beaten in similar race at Goodwood three weeks ago. Needs to improve. |
3 |
Inishfallen |
Decent level of form, midfield in Listed race over 1200m in July. Needs more. |
4 |
Gushing Gold |
Needs to step up on her placed efforts in Maiden and Novice company at up to 1400m. |
5 |
Aragon Castle |
Promising efforts when first and second in two Class 4 races over around 1400m on fast and soft ground. In the mix. |
6 |
Expert Choice |
Twice runner-up in Novice races before won one convincingly over 1487m this month. Not certain to appreciate shorter distance. |
7 |
Rednblue Sovereign |
Steady progress. Won on fifth start, first encounter with soft ground. Needs to improve. |
8 |
Barg |
Promising start but beaten a long way when stepped up in Class and from 1200m to 1400m latest. Needs to improve. Wears cheekpieces for the first time. |
9 |
Bigbertiebassett |
Made good start and won Novice nicely over 1405m in June. Beaten a long way in Listed race since which reduces enthusiasm. |
10 |
Lincoln Legacy |
A good collection of results, winning two from four at decent level. Suited by good ground. |
11 |
Misemerald |
Performed well all four starts, winning two. Needs further improvement. In the mix. |
12 |
Matloob |
Improved switched to an all-weather track, winning well over 1019m. Less good back on turf in July. Not certain to stay 1400m. |
13 |
Gamraan |
Improved to finish second in competitive Handicap over 1400m at Goodwood this month. A live contender. |
14 |
Ajwadi |
Won fair Maiden over 1200m at third attempt. Likely to improve for step up in trip. In the mix. |
15 |
Lexington Belle |
Showed ability when switched to Handicaps, winning twice at modest level. Needs more. |
16 |
Straight A |
Won minor Novice on fast ground then made joint-favourite for Class 2 event. Soft ground may explain heavy defeat. Hard to assess. |
17 |
Blue Collar |
Unplaced all three outings although not beaten far in latest run almost two weeks ago. Handicap mark looks fair. Interesting. |
18 |
Dark Encounter |
Followed up debut second with disappointing last when favourite. Heavy ground perhaps to blame for later defeat. Needs to improve. |
19 |
Keep Warm |
Progressive. Won two Handicaps in July over 1200m. May improve at 1400m. |
20 |
Nelson Rose |
Not disgraced in Maidens over 1400m, latest when midfield on 18 August. Needs a lot more. |
