Its a fascinating race isn’t it? The 2000 Guineas form is difficult to take at face value because the other Aiden horse set the race up for Churchill on the rail and Barney was trapped on the outside. It is unlikely though that Churchill ran his true race last time either so the jury is out over 10 furlongs I think. Ulysses brings in some really good form and in typical Sir Michael fashion still seems to be improving. I think Shutter Speeds run in the French Oaks should be ignored (badly drawn, missed break and Dettori riding with one arm) but it still needs to prove its up to this level.It beat nothing in the Musidora on soft and although visually impressive in that race at Newbury, I don’t think Enable was given much of a ride (Will Buick).
In summary, I think that Shutter Speed is worth a bet (I took 14/1 with 188 bet)because she is very much a speed filly on a flat track that should suit.I think she has a high cruising speed with a good turn of foot.Whatever happens,this race looks a cracker.does anyone remember the huge gamble landed in this race in 1976. Sir Montagu,trained by Ryan Price and ridden by Willie Carson,was backed from big prices down to around 7/2 and made a mockery of the field. It won by half the track.
Hi everyone , for me at middle distances the 3 year old fillies are at least as good as the colts. With Shutter Speed rerouted from France she must be the value at double figure prices.John Gosden was sure that she was his best filly earlier in the season,so in the light of Enable’s achievements,it is logical to say that we haven’t seen anything like the best of this filly yet.
