G1 – 1000m – Turf
1 | Jm Jungle | Not only a highly consistent sprinter but he seems to be fast improving as well, leaving handicap and listed company to bravely land a 1000m G2 sprint at Goodwood. Hard to ignore. |
2 | Kerdos | Did win a soft-ground G2 sprint at Haydock last year, and some good sprinting efforts since without suggesting he can win a G1 like this. |
3 | Manaccan | Returning from a long absence he was well beaten in G3 and G1 company, doing better in an Ascot handicap this month. Hard to fancy. |
4 | Night Raider | No wins this season though some decent efforts. His four career wins have come over further than this, so vulnerable to some pure speedsters here. |
5 | Rumstar | First start at York, but twice a G3 sprinting winner in 2025. Not in such sharp form when joint favourite for a G2 at the Curragh subsequently. Some others are easier to fancy. |
6 | Spartan Arrow | Responded to persistent jockey pressure to win a Listed sprint at Chantilly. Struggled in G2 company last time, and this looks an uphill battle also. |
7 | Washington Heights | The form of his last three runs all give him a bit of a winning chance including when too strong for his rivals in Listed company (the second has boosted the form) over this C&D. |
8 | Ain’t Nobody | Has generally struggled to make a serious impact this season. Perhaps this drop back to 1000m will help – it will certainly need to. |
9 | Arizona Blaze | Chances here given excellent runs in G1 and G2 sprints on last two starts. Typically showed gate speed to cosily win over 1000m at the Curragh. Best on quick ground. |
10 | Asfoora | Besides high class sprinting victories in Australia, she had quickened decisively to win a 2024 Royal Ascot G1 before finishing a close fourth in this. Recent starts need a bit of improvement. |
11 | Frost At Dawn | In good shape especially when coming close to a G1 victory at Ascot in June, going down fighting and proving that she could compete well in top sprinting company. |
12 | Mgheera | Often slowly away but usually strong at the finish as she was when winning a Longchamp G3 sprint on first start for this stable and then a Haydock G2. Chances. |
13 | She’s Quality | Second on all four starts this year, the last three times going very close to success at a G3 and G2 level. This very speedy filly handles slow ground but seems best on fast. |
14 | Celandine | Very smart but mostly competes at around 1200m including when winning a G2 here last year. Could find a few too quick at this 1000m trip. |
15 | Sayidah Dariyan | Posted a career best when surging from the rear in a fast-run sprint to easily win a 1200m G3 here in July. She now needs to use that electric acceleration over 1000m. |
16 | Lady Iman | Trying to become the first 2yo to win this famous dash since 2007. She is very fast, showing that again when outspeeding seven rivals in a Goodwood G3 last month. Chances. |
17 | Spicy Marg | Her decisive victory at Goodwood last month confirms that this 2yo is a fast improving young filly. Takes a sharp rise in class but worth at crack at her older rivals. |
