Strange having two of the Group 1 contests for 2 year old colts run on the same card at Newmarket this afternoon. It seems a shortsighted manoeuvre and hopefully won't be too detrimental to the Racing pattern. Nevertheless, we have a pair of intriguing, if not top class contests. The Dewhurst is always one of this corner's favourite races, usually offering an informative glimpse into the future. This season's renewal however lacks a certain quality reflecting perhaps the dearth of a true superstar in this division. Power from the Ballydoyle stable has been consistent throughout the summer and at attractive odds looks the one to beat. Bronterre is the main danger, having showed a nice turn of foot at Goodwood (albeit on good to soft).
In the Middle Park, French raider Family One, through a line with Dabirism represents the best two year old form (Morny and Lagadere) but Bapak Chinta showed a lot of speed at Ascot and could be more at home on the fast going. He missed an intended run in the Nunthorpe but from a stable in form (Kevin Ryan), he should go well at a decent price.
enjoy....
