Flat Racing ~ Saturday 4th May

[BillyHills]

2.35 Newmarket: Pearl Bloodstock Palace House Stakes (Group 3) (5f) Excellent renewal of the Palace House Stakes here and despite the size of the field those at the top of the ratings should really fight out the finish. Sole Power will be popular after his good fourth in Meydan and the improving Heeraat has to be considered. Qatar Racing who would love to win this race in which they sponsor own both Spirit Quartz and Pearl Secret and I reckon it could pay to side with them this time. I do like Pearl Secret a lot and think he can make his mark in better races down the line and is drawn well here and must go close, Spirit Quartz has the benefit of a win under his belt and is ridden by Joseph O’Brien which is interesting? Selections: 1pt Pearl Secret 6/1

BetVictor 1pt Spirit Quartz 13/2 William Hill

2.05 Newmarket: Mafki Suffolk Stakes (Handicap) (Class 2) (1m1f) Tricky opener to the Guineas meeting and Willie Haggis looks to have a typical unexposed sort in Danchai who gets in here off just 8st7lbs, he bolted up in a small race at Hamilton and then ran well for a long way at Goodwood before his stamina caved in. This trip will be ideal and has to be a danger to all. An alternative selection would be Benzanno who hails from the yard who won this race last year and is going the right way. Selections: 2pts Danchai 5/1

William Hill 1pt Benzanno 11/1 Paddy Power
