    Plenty to like about this Listed race. I’ve plumped for the only filly in the field ‘Gushing Gold’.
    She ran out a tidy winner previously and the form looks strong. The runner up has since sluiced up and even more striking is the 3rd that day (Inishfallen) went very close to winning the Solario stakes.
    14/1

    Two things:

    1. Frankel won this race
    2. Whoever allowed the name “Gushing Gold” was either oblivious to its meaning or too embarrassed to flag it.

    Gushing gold, can you elaborate?
    I don’t have much life experience you see.

    War rooms was not flattered by his performance over course and distance and while the form has not been franked, the visual was highly impressive. He’ll be seen in a better light in raised company today. But for now you have to look closer at the performances of those he faces today to get a more accurate picture on his chances.
    Looking back at War Rooms debut….
    He could be called a winner as he passed the camera for the first time. He stood up so well and his action just got better and better. He missed his next engagement due to firm going. Hannon has an equally impressive newcomer and of course Ballydoyle are at the party with the aptly named Battle cry. So will this conflict be won with a battle cry or in the war room?

    Battle cry
    Win
    Kingdom of riches
    Each way
    War room I have to oppose for the traditional cliched reasons what did he beat? But the price is low in a decent field today who will not yield and whom many of have strong claims of their own not reflected by the prices. War room may well win the war, but I cannot be in his camp and picking my battles may lead to the keys to the kingdom and win the actual war.

    Kingdom of riches was a bit keen.
    Well done to the winners.
