The Novice Tipster

  1st Soul Sister 9/4 - 40 1st Eternal Hope 12/1 - 40 2nd Savethelastdance 6/5 - 30 3rd Be Happy 40/1 - 35 There is really few stats to go on. This could well be between the top 3 and the betting suggests it. Savethelastdance hasnt scored more but is untested on this faster ground, although breeding suggest the faster ground will suit very well. The trip should be fine.  Eternal Hope has won all her races on the all weather her dam was the same. So its a big unknown if she will cope with the faster surface here, if she does she has a chance.  Soul Sister is a winner on good ground, she won her trial well. Didnt cope to well with the soft on her 2nd run so you would have to think the better ground will suit.  Heartache Tonight is another unknown on the groun as only run on soft and very soft. Be Happy was 2nd to Eternal Hope and might be another who would prefer the softer ground. Running Lion the trip is a worry for me if im honest, her sire never saw out the Epsom t...

  1st Emily Upjohn 11/8 - 70 1st Concert Hall 9/1 - 70 2nd With The Moonlight 11/1 - 60 3rd Nashwa 10/3 - 50 The others were very close 45 - Tuesday & Tranquil Lad, 35 - Thoughts of June. As you can see this has some high scorers here. Emily Upjohn and Concert Hall have scored very highly.  Emily Upjohn is unbeaten, ground will suit, she should get the distance no problem. She is coming the exact same route as the illfated Snowfall who won the Oaks last year.  In fact 4 others have won the coming via the Musidora, and 3 of them won the Musidora one placed. She has a great chance. Concert Hall will enjoy this ground, and this distance is excatly what she wants, he own dam Was, won this very race. Aidan has also had 4 winners who went via the Irish 1000gns and of those 4 winners only 1 won the 1000gns. Concert Hall came 3rd that day, and we know she needs this trip and the 1m would be too short. She cannot be be doscounted. With The Moonlight seems versatile ground wise...

  1st Saffron Beach 10/1 - 50 2nd Dubai Fountain 12/1 - 45 2nd Sherbert Lemon 33/1 - 45 2nd Save A Forest 50/1 - 45 3rd Mystery Angel 25/1 - 45 I am honestly surprised that there are no Aidan O'Brien runners who made the top positions here. Santa Barbara should appreciate the step up in trip and the connections really rate her, so but with a 1 and 4 to her name its not as easy to do stats when there are not many, saying that the system picked last years Derby winner and all he had done was win a Maiden.  Saffron Beach topped the stats just here, its extremeley close and nothing between any of them, so it goes to show how wide open this race is. To be honest the only worry with Saffron Beach would be the distance, her dam only raced at 7f -1m but possibly could have gone further. Her sire New Bay was 3rd in the Arc, so the distance wasnt an issue for him. Saffron Beach won the Oh So Sharp Group 3 last year and was 2nd in this years 1000gns. She is very tough, and will run her r...
