Wait actually! I don’t use the exchanges anymore…just checked the prices there and it looks like a 3 horse race!? Sariska 18/1 for £47, Dar Re Mi 11.5/1 for £22.
Is it just because there are so few definitely running? At least Dar Re Mi is certainly aimed for the race
With Sariska as low as 6s, 14/1 is a shocking price.
One run and she doubled in price. The Eclipse is perfect "forgive the run" territory. She certain is a better chance than 14/1…would you lay her at 14/1?
First run off a layoff, race run unfavourably, too short a distance…I didn’t think she’d win the Eclipse…but then I though Zacinto had a chance

Nice to see you follow my ante post thread as i flag this horse to win weeks ago i did.
I’m going in too. I don’t have a bet yet but I’m going to take 5/1 tomorrow. I was on Starspangledbanner at 14/1 for the GJ and I can’t be taking 13/8 about him now. He was pitch perfect for that race and Ballydoyle will have to keep him there – not knowing the horse as well as they might. I knew he’d be a different horse after the York run and thats the view I’m taking with Fleeting Spirit. She has so much going for her
Course and Distance win
Second run off a break
Excellent run considering the lay offLooks an each-way to nothing.
Jamie Spencer seems to make equally awful decisions of the track as he can on the track…
Emma Spencer is a stunner – Hayley is not a stunner. FACHT!
[Obligatory horse comment]
Dar Re Mi 14/1 now with Tote Sport and Sky Bet.
Can’t help myself…shocking price and hugely overreaction to the Eclipse run! Gosden said before the race that it would put her right on. I know he was still disappointed with the run but she’ll be a different horse at Ascot.
14/1
!
Genki was 1st
but that was on the far side and near side won shame Genki did not have a low draw would of been close if he had it.I had Noverre to Go so I would have been happy with a place
Kingsgate Native should go for the Kings Stand, theres always an option to go for the GJ if he comes out ok.
Starspangledbanner is the one for me. I’m aware of O’Briens dip in form but that could just be the horses ability this year. Fame and Glory seems to have nothing wrong with him and I fancy Starspangledbanner will go well after his first run for the yard. Australian sprint form must be given creedence and Starspangledbanner with time to settle and a run should be the pick.
I just hope I don’t have to type his bloody name too often
^^Happy
^^Listened to the RPTV reaction there…AOB was wetting himself after the race!
You taking a massive risk backing Zacinto. Theres no evidence to suggest he’ll do anything other than walk the track.
Dalghar for me. His pedigree and his over all "being there" is enough for me to think that 14/1 is the wrong price. He’s got a monster pedigree…half brother to Dalakhani and Daylami and by Goldikova’s sire. de Royer Dupré is not here for the craic. He’ll take advantage of any horse with question marks that disappoints.
Royer dupre’s in this for me 4 small stakes as will try 2 work out the ground after this race…
Good call. Looks the only value in the race. Track record breaker in Longchamp…so I hear. Half brother to Dalakhani and Daylami. This ought to be his big day, one of the most highly publicised races in the world at a truely international meeting. Dalghar will come good, whether or not its tomorrow is another thing.
Also, Zacinto is a big danger if he runs his best. There is nothing to suggest he will but just as quickly as he went out of form he could fall right back in.
Ouqba on his first run of the season gave Paco Boy a fright and perhaps can be considered to put in a similar if not improved effort here. Always looked to have more than he showed, this horse.
I won’t be laying anything but for anyone who is there are plenty of horses running for you.
Gold Trail will lead them easily for 4f. Apart from that I don’t have any idea.
I’m going in even stakes on Gold Trail and Total Gallery. I had a real good look at the race tonight and Gold Trail looks a cracking bet at 12/1.
Equiano likes to lead and by all accounts that wont be allowed to happen with Gold Trail 4 off the rail. He’ll burst out and over this distance he wont be caught. The expected fast ground will aid his cause and the rest will be left standing. Any challengers for the lead will be bured off and Total Gallery will come off the pace to grab a place, suprised at the horses he chased home the last twice with 7lbs extra on his back going the opposite way.
Done and dusted
If there"s any justice,then
Fleeting Spirit
will make it 3rd time lucky,trouble is she runs over 5f like she"s crying out for 6f! 100/1 she wins both the Kings stand and the Golden Jubilee is tempting!
I have to give a mention to her Abbaye ConquerorTotal Gallery
,this fellow has been laid out for this and at 14/1 is a cracking e/w bet even with Dick Hughes steering! Riding would be too strong a word!
I’m on since wednesday…best price I could get was 12/1 though.
I’m suprised people are able to be so definite in their assessment of the form. One of these horses has run 3 times and this is arguably one of the strongest fields put in the St James Palace Stakes. Steinbeck and Beethoven are running also and Steinbeck ought to come on for hs reappearance and Beethoven was lit up by the visor last 2 times and ran creditabley in America with no medication.
Arcano is coming back and has to be considered despited and interupted preparation. He did beat a dual guineas winner in Special Duty – however much that form looks hazy with the filly being awarded the races.
Shakespearean made a very imressive reappearance giving weight away all round and also must be considered.
I know some of these will be put in their place by Wednesday but on the face of it they are all three year olds and may not have shown their best yet in some cases. Most times its as straight forward as it looks but I don’t think this one is.
Good luck with your selections.
Very interesting opinions. Fair enough about the favorites. Canford Cliffs didn’t really have any excuses at Newmarket other than hes inexperienced like all of the horses. Each learns different things at different stages.
Makfi has the upper hand but Canford Cliffs still massacred a classic field after learning a bit more about how to run. I personally couldn’t separate them and will no way be parting with any money in the race.
I think I heard something about Dick Turpin going for another race hence the drift in the market. Is that right?
BTW, I tend to pick a horse every generation…not for backing necessarily but just one I like. Last year it was Mastercraftsman…this year Dick Turpin. I hope he wins…in fact I think hes a great ew price – 2nd in two guineas with form franked twice!
my antepost bet is Age Of Aquarius

Are you confident? It looks like he needs some distance if he’s going to get past a rival this year.
ive gone for hawkeyethenoo
vf
Have you got any explanation as to why you went with that?
I’m generally interested in
Manassas
, as I think there is probably still a big race in him. He is only 1 lb higher than when winning at Doncaster last September.
However, he is also entered at Sandown (£16,000 race) on Saturday.
Would there be a chance that he runs in both??
Supposedly ground dependent, wanting a bit of cut, but both victories last year were on "Gd to Fm" at Doncaster, though at least the first of these had cut in the ground!
He looks far too unreliable and realistic odds. Has the ability to perform but is too difficult as for preferances and going days. Wouldn’t like to be on him myself.
but that was on the far side and near side won 
shame Genki did not have a low draw would of been close if he had it.
