    The sprinting ranks has been short of a true star act this season. Just when you thought Battaash would be the 5F king and Harry Angel the 6F top dog, they both flopped.

    Blue Point has his moments but never seems to find consistency and he was a bitter blow for me when pulled out of the Al Quoz Sprint 30 seconds before the race.

    It’s open for a new face I feel and at the odds, I like the idea of Archie Watson’s 2YO Soldiers Call being that new face. Very impressive in the Flying Childers, albeit that the Fav was a flop.

    He’ll get weight in France and he looked very fast at Donny. The plan was perhaps a tilt at this and then the Breeder’s Cup.

    At 12/1 he looks a better value option than trusting Battaash to find his A-game again.

    SOLDIERS CALL 12/1

    Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.

    Just want to take Battaash on in this one Darren and think Mabs Cross 8/1 represents a bit of value and none better than Gerald Mosse to get her home. :good:
    If Muthmir runs I will be backing him EW also.
    My favourite Sprint of the Season
    Good luck :good: Jac

    Just a speculative each way on FINSBURY SQUARE at 20/1. Ran well at Royal Ascot behind Blue Point and has been placed in this before behind Marsha.

    I’m pretty confident that Battaash will bulldozer it again.

    I’ll back him on course though.

    Doesn’t look a race to go mad in, and as much as I love these G1 5f Sprints, I rarely get them right……….Hit The Bid supporters, look away now.

    I hear Mabs Cross has had a nose extension since the Nunthorpe Darren & Raymo ;-) and with her new jockey up this lady in red is hot to go. :yes: Jac

    Tantheem 8/1

    Very impressive winning easily the last twice, and although this is a step up in class i think she is a very good each way bet. Drawn well and with the insane pace likely to be shown here i think she’ll be finishing off well.

    Battaash only has to run to form to win easily, but will he run to form? If 11/8 or shorter I’d have opposed him but at around 13/8 imo it’s worth taking a chance. However, one way he could get beat is if they go too fast too soon; quite a few prominent runners in the race. So another main bet is hold up horse City Light @ 15/2 with a saver on Tantheem who’s the improving horse from an in form trainer.

    Battaash has to be taken on at the prices, what with is the tricky part! I’ll take a chance that a Nunthorpe ‘winner’ is over priced at 20’s. Alpha Delphini for me, trainer sure knows how to win this after all.

    Good luck all.
