Supporting card - Newmarket 1st October 2010

It’s a good supporting card that shouldn’t be ignored at Newmarket, with 2 races given particular notice. In the Sakhee Oh So Sharp Stakes (1.25) COCHAMABA (each/way) is a small filly from an unfashionable yard, but that’s where the negatives end. Her seconds to Lily Again and in particular, Fillies’ Mile third Theyskens Theory last time out at Goodwood sets a good standard, with her ability to handle soft ground a very good point (admittedly the front 2 in the market have won on soft. Havant was an impressive maiden debut winner (like stable´s last 3 winners of this race)but that was a weakish maiden, while Look At Me looks like a pattern type, but her form needs improving on as well. Kawalah was very impressive on debut but has never encountered soft ground, and that may be her undoing.

It’s a really tricky renewal of the Nayef Joel Stakes (1.55), with many middle ground runners. Premio Loco would have to be up there, but soft ground could blunt him, and I don’t particularly think Mabait really wants it either. Awazaan once looked like a very good prospect, but now seems to have lost it. Cityscape looks progressive and is clearly going to be there or thereabouts, while Alexandraos’s team are in fantastic form, but PENITENT was always a group horse in the making and should go very close here under Johnny Murtagh, with the cut in the ground crucial to his chances.

Recommendations
