Hi all,
Epsom
3:10 – Kew Gardens – 5/2 @ Bet365 & William Hill – Last season St Leger winner. Didn’t enjoy the soft ground when runner-up in the Ormonde Stakes at Chester on his seasonal reappearance. Will be fitter today and this race has likely to have been the colts target. His trainer Aidan O’Brien has had five winners of this race in the past ten years and all five have been favourite – 5 winners from 5 runners + 5.1.
4:30 – Mehdaayih – 3/1 @ William Hill & Coral – The selection had no problem with the step up in trip and class when winning the Cheshire Oaks on her last start. The daughter of Frankel showed an excellent turn of foot to stride clear of her rivals inside the final furlong. She showed at Chester that she’s a well-balanced filly who should be able to handle the Epsom undulations. The going was good to soft last time, but she showed at Yarmouth last October that she win on quicker ground. Has a favourites chance of following in the footsteps of stablemate Enable who won the Cheshire Oaks before winning the Oaks in 2017.
Cheers
John
