YOU SANSE CAPPELLA HAS A VERO GOOD CHANCE

Today's feature race is the Group 1 Keeneland Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh. The market suggests that the race will be dominated by Queen Mary winner Anthem Alexander and the dual Group 2 winner Kool Kompany. The former is not guaranteed to go on the ground whilst the latter may prove a tough not to crack. The ground will pose no problem and, if gifted an easy lead, may be tough to beat. However, if there is competition for the lead it may not be all plain sailing for the Hannon representative and at the prices, he is worth opposing.

You could argue that CAPPELLA SANSEVERO would have been a far shorter price for this had he not have ran in the Railway Stakes (won by Kool Kompany) last time out. It was his worst run to date and his form before that is probably the best on offer, his second in the Coventry Stakes behind The Wow Signal is proof of that. He may be more at home on softer ground and providing that bad run was a one off, he could outrun is odds. DICK WHITTINGTON has shown himself to be a solid performer and looks the best of the Aidan O'Brien quartet in my opinion. The ground is a slight worry but is another who could belie his price.

Cappella Sansevero

With all the rain that fell overnight and into the morning, it looks like you it would be wise to side with soft ground horses in England too. In Leicester's 3:30, PIAZON has looked a smart individual when there has been ease underfoot whilst FOXY CLARETS will also appreciate the rain if he can get an easy lead. Windsor's 4:45 should see STARWATCH, who has winning course experience and WHIPPER SNAPPER, who is aided by the top class George Baker, go close. They will also like the ground.

Arsenal for me in the Community Shield, feel like they probably want it more.


Enjoy your Sunday


Happy Punting!
