Horse Racing: QE Stakes
Britain's most popular one mile race, the Queen Elizabeth
Stakes is back this weekend. Dubawi at 7/4 looks to be the
bookies favourite for this one and there is no doubt that he
has all the credentials to go very close here today.
We are going to sidestep Dubawi this time around
however, as he has only really impressed when sprinting
clear from rivals off a slow pace as seen in the Prix Marois
and Irish 2,000 and he struggled in the English 2,000 off a
decent pace, where he looked all at sea.
The rain will suit the Godolphin horse, as seen in the
Irish Guineas, but there is not that much rain forecast
between now and raceday, and I would be very worried about
Dubawi on anything other than softish going, particularly at
Newmarket.
Due to these doubts over the market leader, we like the look
of Starcraft at 9/4. This horse from down under has
proved his credentials when destroying the field in the
Group 1 Prix du Moulin at Longchamp at the beginning of
September.
The horse should go very close, as the Newmarket rise should
suit his tactics, and he can take advantage of this by
pulling clear of the field.
For those of you who prefer to give the QE Stakes a miss,
there's an attractive jumps card at Market Rasen this
Saturday also. Jonjo O'Neil' horse Iris's Gift looks like a
likely winner in the 2.45. The eight year old has already
been heavily baked in the Gold Cup to 20/1 and is a top
class chaser. He should be the one to beat.
Recommendation: Queen Elizabeth II Stakes Starcraft @
9/4
