With rain over the weekend it is best to bet with caution over the next few days.  I was pleased to see Benbatl win a Group 1 race yesterday in Munich.  I think it is Saeed Bin Suroor’s first Group 1 in Europe in 2018. So far this season his horses have not matched the other salaried trainer for Godolphin.  Charlie Appleby has had a pretty good season, winning a Derby and a few Group races as well, he had a Group 3 winner in France on Saturday, two year old filly Beyond Recall.

The big meetings this week are Goodwood, which starts tomorrow.  Galway in Ireland starts today, Galway must have had a good amount of rain, the going is yielding on the jumps track and soft on the flat track, trying to find a winner at the meeting looks as difficult as ever.
