Always like an Antepost in this, and went with a horse who impressed me last time, Wiltshire.

Big step up required obviously, and holds an entry on The Phoenix Sprint on Saturday. I’ll probably have to bet him there too if he takes up the entry

Wiltshire 66’s EW

Non Runner. If Art Power goes, I’ll side with him on the day if declared, but no more Anteposts on this one.

Elite Status 6-1 ew

Kind of Blue 14/1

3rd and 2nd last 2 starts and go one better on Saturday

Was thinking Lake Forrest but gone with
Fanshawe horse

I’ve done some of my ratings for this. A bit of a fiddle as it’s not ah andicap, but it looks a very close contest;

129 Bucanero Fuerte
129 Inisherin
127 Art Power
127 Shouldvebeenaring
126 Moss Tucker
126 Showalong

Only three Group 1 winners in their last 6 races, all in this list, Bucanero Fuerte(14/1), Inisherin(7/2) and Moss Tucker (33/1). Those three against field as I don’t see any problem with distance or probable going. If they don’t win I’ll be dead chuffed if my old mate Art Power gets his head front!

[Nathan Hughes]

Not sure what the going is likely to be .. Has the rain hit the north??

Bucanero Fuerte has superb 2 y/o form… and won despite the lack of a run on his return. However a setback after that which saw him miss Royal Ascot and not run since this would leave me a bit cold

Blackbeard to conquer the World

I think the last 5 winners of this hadn’t won a group 1 race previously.

[Refuse To Bend]

Keeping the faith with Kind Of Blue, needs to step up but these Group 1 sprints can be a lottery.

The things I want most in life are the things that I can't win.

[Landafar]

I see the sprint winners today were drawn middle to low.
Tomorrow in this race, there is pace all across the track with most of the youngsters drawn high.
For me a high drawn horse looks a good bet, Swingalong will be my selection with a E/W saver on Shouldhavebeenaring.
The two I fear are Kind Of Blue and Moss Tucker, obviously these are drawn low. Moss Tucker is an established performer in group class (like most of the field), while James Fanshawe has a good record in this race.

Art Power , hopefully some ease in the ground

[Chivers1987]

I hope we get to see the real exciting classy ELITE STATUS and not the problematic drop out the back of the tv one.
Taken 13/2.
Can’t knock SWINGALONG at all, so consistent and just edged out of two group 1’s recently. Not sure if Mill Stream running an average race next time knocks the July Cup form so I’ll leave any others alone from that race. Also taken 13/2.

[greenasgrass]

Givemethebeatboys at 16s ew for me.
Good luck all.

[Ex RubyLight]

Not a race to get heavily involved with, but I took Flora Of Bermuda at 40s EW
and robnorth’s pick Moss Tucker at 28s EW.

[Triptych]

Hope your wrong Rob and Landafar is right I’m also all about SWINGALONG (Win) in this one.
She really impressed at Newmarket July Cup last time out behind Mill Dream with Vandeek in 3rd and Art Power, Inisherin, Jaseur behind him.
Fillies do really well at this time of year so might also expect a big run from Shouldvebeenaring EW.

Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...

[Wilts]

Unequal Love 28/1

Best of luck to all

[Venture to Cognac]

Going with Art Power, which was always the plan after the Antepost went down

Art Power 25’s EW 5Pls

[GM23]

I’m sticking with Swingalong and hoping she can hold on this time with the drying conditions and flat track.

I think Bucanero Fuerte could run a big race also if fit but he has been off quite a while.
