ASCOT - Going-Soft heavy in places
2.30pm GROUP THREE £52,000 PRINCESS ROYAL WILLMOTT DIXON STAKES 1m 4f
BP= best price of Coral, William Hill, Ladbrokes and the Tote
1) 001002 RADA'S DAUGHTER (GB) (Mrs Richard Plummer) Ian Balding 4-9-00 Kevin Darley 8 Last raced 31 days ago BP= 6 Ladbrokes & Tote
Likes long distances but it has yet to be proved that he will act on this ground. Good effort last time out when second in the fillies St Leger the Group Rothmans Royals Park Hill Stakes at Doncaster a month ago.
2) 4221 AYMARA (GB) (Lord Hartington) John Gosden 3-8-07
Richard Hills 4 last raced 13 days ago BP= 25 Coral & William Hill
Good winner of a Musselburgh maiden last time out with the field very strung out. This is a big step up in class. But the trainer is no mug and he must think it is worthwhile having a go. Looks good value for a progressive filly. Will act on the ground.
3) 2135 DRAMA CLASS (IRE) (Lord Weinstock) Sir Michael Stoute 3-8-07 Pat Eddery 3
last raced 13 days ago BP= 14 William Hill & Tote
Won at Bath and fifth at Ascot in better class. Has some chance.
4) 111414 FIRECREST (IRE) (Sir Thomas Pilkington) John Dunlop 3-8-07 Richard Quinn 6 last raced 27 days ago BP= 6 Ladbrokes
Won Listed race at York in August - not suited by slow pace in Germany last time. Useful sort but this ground may not be to her liking.
5) 0-6112 GOLDEN WAY (IRE) (Ahmed Ali) Ed Dunlop 3-8-07 John Reid 7 last raced 16 days ago BP= 25 Tote
Has won at Haydock and Ayr but was beaten at Pontefract last time and there must be doubts about stamina in this ground.
6) 1-31420 LITTLEPACEPADDOCKS (IRE) (Mrs Joan Keaney) Mark Johnston 3-8-07 Richard Hughes 9 last raced 28 days ago BP= 6 Coral & Ladbrokes
Well beaten in the Rothmans Royals St Leger but was very consistent beforehand. Has yet to race on soft ground so there must be doubts.
7) 336010 MISS LORILAW (FR) (David A Caruth) John Hills 3-8-07 Michael Hills 1 last raced 44 days ago BP= 20 generally
Sixth in the Italian Oaks. Has since won a good race at Newbury on fast ground but disappointed at York last time. Inconsistent. This a big price though.
8) 215321 RIYAFA (IRE) (HH Aga Khan) Sir Michael Stoute 3-8-07 Johnny Murtagh 5 last raced 13 days ago BP= 15/8 Tote
Won well at Ascot last time out but his earlier form suggests that this is a very short price.
9) 043010 SHAMAIEL (IRE) (Saeed Manana) Clive Brittain 3-8-07 Philip Robinson 10 last raced 25 days ago BP= 33 Coral
Tried highly but won a Bath maiden two runs ago.
10) 410244 SOLAIA (USA) (Faisal Salman) Paul Cole 3-8-07 Jimmy Fortune 2 last raced 31 days ago BP= 6 Coral & William Hill
Fourth when Rada's Daughter was second in the Rothmans Royals Park Hill Stakes. Has shown best form on faster ground though.
Summary
This is a fascinating contest which is more open than the betting might suggest. AYMARA is a very big price and is worth a chance with each-way
GOOD LUCK
