Pleased to get a good winner for my subscribers yesterday, Thuderous 1.50 Newbury was advised at 5/2 yesterday morning. Heavily backed into 11/8 favourite, before his game win.
Todays French card at Deauville has two Group 1 races. The Darley Prix Morny At 1.50 is a really good race for two year old colts and fillies. Frankie Dettori looks as though he has opted for Raffle Prize over the colt A A’hli, having won on both horses before. To pick the winner out of this race is very difficult, Earthlight has really good French form, Arizona has looked really good, having won the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot, it is probably a race to watch, without getting involved in having a bet. Marmello contests the Group 2 T Deauville at 4pm over 2 miles. I thought he was given an average ride on his last run, beaten only a nose that day. With a change of rider today, I would expect him to win. Of the racing in the UK, Reaction Time 4.30 Pontefract, put in a good debut run at Sandown last year, he must be delicate to train, as this is only his second run at 4 years old. I would expect him to be fit, and may be too good for Eva Maria, who did win well last time at Thirsk, she will not make it easy for the Godolphin horse, it will be a good race, I expect them both to fight out the finish.
