Changing Times

The first tangible signs of Racing's changing face is apparent today with the reconstruction of the important Newmarket and Ascot meetings. Although their championship credentials have been somewhat negated by "Arc" day, the 2 year old races have proved to be very influential over the years. With that in mind, it seems a bit odd to be running the two Group 1 Fillies this weekend, followed two weeks hence by the two major colt's races. As to what effect it may have, time will tell.

Nevertheless, we  have an interesting card at Newmarket with the Cheveley Park and Sun Chariot Stakes. The favourites have strong claims in both these contests, but on good to firm, Irish raiders Lightning Pearl and Alanza are worth a look and may gave Johnny Murtagh a memorable afternoon.

The feature however is the long standing dish, the Cambridgeshire, a perenniel puzzle which I have failed to solve despite many efforts. This season's nominations are Circumvent (Group 3 winner, track form and in good form recently) with top French pilot Christophe Lemaire on board. Friday's consolation version suggests he is on right side of the draw. From the other side, Desert Romance could go well at a price.

good luck.....
