1400m – Turf
1 |
Nine Tenths |
Her last five starts – including two wins – have come on all-weather surfaces. Her brilliant trainer has thought about group three company for her so she looks interesting back on turf. |
2 |
Pinafore |
A four-time winner but has become disappointing. Perhaps the combination of Ryan Moore riding and blinkers – both for the first time- will help. |
3 |
Elim |
A personal best in Listed company at Pontefract last month, getting to the front only to be passed by two others late on. This drop to 1400m may prove helpful. |
4 |
Back See Daa |
Looked to run a career best earlier this month when only grabbed late on – after leading – over a similar trip to this at Haydock. One of plenty with winning chances in this. |
5 |
Key To Cotai |
Came from the back to win a handicap at Newmarket in May. That was over this trip which looks ideal for her. A very solid fourth at Haydock this month considering a poor passage. |
6 |
Arisaig |
Winner of four of her nine starts, doing best last time when surging from off the pace to win a 12-runner fast-ground 1600m handicap at Goodwood. Raised 6lb and back down in trip. |
7 |
Raknah |
Gained her third career success and first on turf with a front-running 1400m Listed success at Galway this month. That was on yielding ground but her trainer insists that she’ll be fine on faster. |
8 |
Queen Of Mougins |
Decent efforts on her last two starts – finishing fast at Newmarket most recently – and her pedigree suggests that this first 1400m run may bring some improvement. |
9 |
Miss Information |
In good shape last month with convincing handicap victories over similar trips, at Chepstow and Epsom. Then ran well off a 12lb higher mark at Goodwood, especially considering a poor trip. |
10 |
International Girl |
Her five career wins have come over shorter trips and there have been some disappointments when tried at 1400m. Unlucky not to have finished closer when fourth last time. |
11 |
Alfa Kellenic |
On a winning roll defying rising handicap marks to win her last four starts – including here – and latterly getting up in the final strides over 1200m at Ayr. Another 3lb rise, and up to 1400m. |
12 |
Enola Grey |
Only one win on a turf surface but she ran a solid third – at odds of 40/1 – at Beverley last time without ever looking like winning that handicap. |
13 |
Mereside Diva |
Looked happy over this course and distance when second of 18 in May, prior to a victory at Thirsk. Started favourite at Haydock this month but underperformed. |
14 |
Sunfall |
Having a rewarding year winning for the third time in 2024 when gaining a narrow handicap victory at Haydock earlier this month. Raised 3lb for that. |
15 |
Rock Melody |
Versatile as far as ground and trip are concerned. Back in the winners’ enclosure recently when beating 14 rivals on soft ground at Hamilton. |
16 |
Queen’s Reign |
Proved her 3yo ability when landing a 1600m handicap at Goodwood in May. Led but run down late on when a slightly disappointing favourite at Newmarket when last seen. |
17 |
Coppull Hall Lane |
Very much has an improving profile and battled on well to win on her handicap debut at Redcar last month. Only 2lb higher for that good effort. |
18 |
Aquacell |
Has run decently in handicaps on her latest two starts, last seen in late June when second – though no match for the winner – over 1400m at Newmarket. |
