3.40 Ascot: Commonwealth Cup

 

Verdict:

Smashing race despite the drop in numbers and it revolves around the Sandy Lane Stakes at Haydock which was won impressively by Quiet Reflection. It seems to me that if she runs up to that level of form then she will win, simple as that. The third, fourth and fifth all do battle again on slightly better terms but will need to find a lot of improvement to alter the outcome.

Log Out Island is the one horse that doesn’t come from that race and would be a danger if he could be relied upon to reproduce his improved display from Newbury in a first time hood. As we know they don’t always work as well the second time they are used.
