Frank Whittle Conditions Stakes 2010 - St Ledger Meeting Day 3

4.25 Doncaster
Frank Whittle Partnership Conditions Stakes (Class 2) (2YO only)
Winner £10,904

Pick: Frankel

Farhh: Made a most impressive start in running away with 7f Newmarket maiden on July Course; While he couldn’t have done it much easier, that maiden looks below scratch for the track; Smart prospect nevertheless and should be there at finish.

Frankel: Very highly regarded sort (Royal Lodge and Racing Post Trophy Entry) who made serious impression when earning quotes of 25-1 for next year's Derby (Stan James go as short as 16’s)and 25/1 for the Guineas when winning a better-than-average maiden in style at Newmarket on debut; Looks set for bigger things and will be very hard to beat.

Colorado Gold: Had limitations exposed when he came unstuck in listed race in France last time and unlikely to be good enough to land this against some exciting prospects.

Diamond Geezah: Relished step up to 7f when opening account at Ayr in July, and has run well in competitive races since, especially last time behind Wotton Bassett at York; On the face of it, this easier but he tackled some very smart sorts here who have a lot to offer.

Rainbow Springs: Selkirk Fillies’ Mile entry who is a half-sister to useful juvenile Ridge Dance; Bred to know her job first time out and presumably connections think a fair bit of her to be entering her in this for a debut run; Especially interesting that she gets a pretty massive weight concession, meaning she may not have to do a lot to get involved.

VERDICT: It’s impossible to dismiss Rainbow Springs in receipt of such a generous weight concession, especially for a yard that send good juveniles here who are having a fairly hot streak of late. Both Farhh and FRANKEL looked smart prospects when making winning debuts at Newmarket and the latter achieved a lot more in winning his, and as such, gets the pick.
