Re: Nad al Sheba 31st 4.55 Youmzain win 8/1 & place 2/1 Top class field I know a few fancy red rocks, it's hard to figure out how Sir Percy will go surely after disapointing in the champion stakes but trainer assures he's ready for this. The bet here for me is Youmzain at around 8/1 he beat red rocks last year at york since then he's been beaten 1/2 length by the arc winner rail ink and has won a group 1 in germany. Has a nice wide draw which even though over 1mile 4 I reckon it's best to be drawn wide round here. Pop rock beaten only a neck in the Melbourne cup has to be respected but the drop in trip is a worry for me. It's a cracker of a race and to me Youmzain is a stand out bet at the prices win & place that is. 6.30 Discreet Cat 6/4 Been sweet on Discreet Cat for the last year now and although he's been drawn in stall 1 I don't think that will be a big problem with this small field. Electrocutionist was in stall 1 last year an before that no stall 1 had won the race but I feel discreet cat is just a machine. This is Godolphins race they want to win this every year and this year they only have Invasor to beat obviously Invasor is a class act winning the breeders cup but surely Discreet cat will show us why Godolphin think so much of this animal today. Not proven over the trip which is the one worry but did win the UAE derby last year here just a furlong shorter should get the extra 1furlong. A small price but a worthy fav. I would be tempted to have a small bet on this but a larger one on Discreet Cat winning the breeders cup classic now as if he does win this the price will fall after the race.
