Flat Racing ~ Saturday 20th October (Champions Day)

[BillyHills]

2.55 Ascot: Qipco British Champions Fillies’ And Mares’ Stakes (Group 2) (1m4f) Probably not the most anticipated race on the Ascot card but a smashing contest all the same and it all revolves around Great Heavens. If she is still fresh enough for one more run in top class company after the Arc then she should win this with something to spare. Still progressing and will enjoy the conditions here. As an alternative you would have to put Sapphire into calculations but her price will be a bit short and maybe an each way bet on Shirroco Star is the way to go, very consistent and has form that stands up with most of these on her day.

Re: Flat Racing ~ Saturday 20th October (Champions Day) 2.20 Ascot: Qipco British Champions Sprint Stakes (Group 2) (6f) A fascinating sprint contest and on strict figures alone it certainly rests between Society Rock and Wizz Kid. They look to have a few pounds to spare over their rivals and both will enjoy the soft ground and the 6f trip so no real negatives for either of them. I just prefer Society Rock as he has had a break since his win at Haydock where the French filly had a hard race in France last time out. Of the bigger priced horses I have to give Sirius Prospect one more chance to get his start sorted out, it’s costing him a lot in his races but certainly has the ability to figure in this company.
