Today in France has the 1,000 and 2,000 Guineas, both French classic races for three year old colts and fillies. The fillies race at 2.15 has recent 1,000 Guineas winner at Newmarket, Cachet. A two week gap from her win, she has not got a very good draw in 10, so it makes her job a bit more difficult, if she is ridden like she was when winning two weeks ago, where she made all the running. Rosacea is well drawn, and is trained in France, she would be my choice. The colts equivalent at 2.55 sees Modern Games from the Godolphin operation lining up. He is well drawn, has had a racecourse gallop, and will take beating. The other british horses with good form, Bayside Boy and Claymore are poorly drawn in 14 and 16. I will have a bit each way on Welwal as well as backing Modern Games to win as I think he has a good chance and has the best french rider on his back.

More soon.
