    RAINBOW HEART 33/1

    Like the 1000 guineas this a very open race and for me this Haggas trained filly looks like one who will improve a lot this year.Same trainer has a Frankel filly who highly rated to but for me this one look very smart when she bolted up at Newmarket on final start.

    I watched Sparkle Roll win yesterday but in my opinion the horse that finished fourth Sea Of Faith is the horse to take out of the race,a daughter of Sea The Stars she finished like a train from well of the pace, she has a bright future.

    There has been a big move in the market for pink dogwood so interesting to see how she runs tomorrow

    Bookies seem to be going a little overboard with these price cuts lately. Pink Dogwood into 3/1 in places after today. :wacko:

    Pretty sure Minding was bigger than that after she won the 1000 Guineas.

    I was also impressed with Sea Of Faith on Friday.

    On paper it isn’t shaping up to be a top drawer renewal, but there’s lots of opportunities for something to come to the fore.

    Sea of Faith is certainly the one who’s impressed me the most.

    Iridessa looks bred for the job so taken the 14s before today’s run in case she runs an eyecatching one.

    I’ve backed Iridessa @ 14/1 too, Mike. Looks more of a middle-distance horse than miler. :good:
    Taken 25/1 Hermosa for the same reason too.
    I also agree with Botchy about Pink Dogwood. Laid some 4/1.

    My God that was impressive from mehdaayih today

    A sea of class esque turn of foot

    Now 6/1 and I’m scratching my head seeing pink dogwood at the head of the market for this

    The only worry for me is she still looks green and might struggle to get balanced coming down the straight at Epsom

    Thought the Beckett horse was a tad unlucky in The Cheshire Oaks. Hope she gets to take her chance at Epsom still.

    One of my favourite flat days racing of the year is this. Will be there again this year to see the Woodcote, Oaks and Coronation Cup – my favourite two year old race, my favourite classic and a Group 1.

    Made a book for this. Slightly green on the favourite and Pink Dogwood (although I’m now going to be against her because she’s too short for what she’s done imo). On a very nice position with Maqsad who is my idea of the winner and Frankellina at an enormous price. Last one of note is Sea of Faith who would be a nice winner so i’m hopeful of a big run from her at Newbury tomorrow against a decent filly in Queen Power.

    Honestly, after the debacle with September last year and then Sea of Class not running (I had some whopping prices on her too), I’m just hopeful of Maqsad getting there now. If she does, I’m planning to have a decent bet on her at anything north of 4/1. Think she may just be a bit special. Or at least good enough to win what may be an average Oaks.

    Definitely a race to stay away from imo.
    If you like to lose money, go ahead betting here :unsure:

    Not the case Hein – Maqsad wins.

    I think it’s a very poor race and I think she could be a bit special.

    Even if she’s not special, she may still be good enough to win this anyway.

    Edit – That being said, Mehdaayih did beat her at Yarmouth last season so I will have a few quid on her too as long as she’s not stupidly short if and when she gets supplemented. Couldn’t back the O’Brien filly with counterfeit.

    Wouldn’t surprise me to see an outsider win.
