BBOTD > Thursday 11th of July

[Aidymac]

Princess Of Wales Stakes - Newmarket 2:40 Godolphin have two horses entered in the race, Cavalryman and Ahzeemah. Cavalryman is an out and out stayer and has showed some good form since the turn of the year. He was very impressive at Meydan back in March, where he won the Dubai Gold Cup by 3 lengths. He actually beat Ahzeemah that day, and they meet once more on Thursday. If this turns into a proper race, Cavalryman should be able to pick them off at the finish. Cavalryman WIN @ 9/2 Boylesports BOG

Re: BBOTD > Thursday 11th of July 16.40 Warwick: Crystal Mist @ 7/1 Bet365 This lightly raced Dalakhani filly looks a real stayer to my eyes, and therefore I'm really happy to see her stepping up in trip. It was interesting that connections didn't waste time with her in maiden races last year, so that she ended up in a big sales race on debut, her only run in 2012, and she started this season with another big sales races again. She didn't have a chance on both occasions though. One unsuccessful maiden start later and she had a Handicap mark, and ran at Newbury over 12f on handicap debut eventually. She got under pressure and outpaced from 4f out and was eased down 1f out, but it was interesting to see that the filly galloped well to the line, even gaining a bit of ground in the closing stages while not being asked anything at all actually. So from a visual point this gave me the impression that she could be a real stayer but the pedigree is backing up this suspicion as well as she is out of a multiple G1 winning sire over 12f, who sired a St. Leger winner, while the dam had only two starts and won over 7f but is by of a sire who sired a St. Leger winner too. So stepping up to the Leger trip for the first time tomorrow I think Crystal Mist could go very well.
