18/10 offered New Predator - can't see that last...........price gone on Aldiara in the last, but very hard to beat imo

This is my bet. For tomorrow
Shimmering brook - win
New predator - win
Crystal glamour - place (no way this girl is an 88)
Aldiara - win
Happy punting

I agree Crystal Glamour better that 88, but not so sure she is up around the 100's, which she needs to be to beat the top 3 - for me I think She's a Dragon was great value at around 8's, but I missed that price

Right, the boys feature first.
As I said on the other thread, my pick here is Suyoof. This horse gave Brazuca a huge fright on his debut. Brazuca has since run 2nd in the Guineas and Derby. To push a Grade 1 horse like that on debut is no easy task. Yes, Brazuca, obviously is not at his best over 6 furlong but so isn't Suyoof, and considering the fact he was green as grass, it was an excellent debut.
Then he gave massive amounts of weight away in his 3rd start. This was an even more impressive feat - it was only his third start and first around the turn and to give a horse like Lunar Approach 5 kgs and beat him was stunning. I know Lunar Approach is no world beater but we did see what he did to Champagne Haze recently(albeit below par).
There's only going to be more improvement to come, he's had a nice rest and should be fit and ready. Not too sure about the inside track but he definitely has the class in spades - awkward draw to overcome but at 6/1, I'm more than happy to take that risk.
New Predator may well win, but i just feel he will be a better horse on the standside considering his style of running, and he seems to prefer a galloping track. Add to that, I think he'll be way smarter over 8 furlong + rather than today's 7.
side note: Be interesting to see how Champagne Haze runs. He is burdened with 60kgs but make no mistake, any horse that smashes Rabada like that is classy.
Fillies version - much more intriguing race this. I do think Negroamaro will turn out to be the best from this race. It was a special performance on Summer Cup day. She has won over 1400m and I don't think it will be too much of a concern, however that wide draw is a downer. She ran unplaced when she had a similar draw on the standside - no doubt it's harder on the inside course. Not every filly can win from wide draws
That being said, I am not going to have a bet on this one as I want to watch this bunch run against each other once more. The two I like at higher prices are Bella Sonata - very progressive, improving all the time and is a fair eachway at the prices IMO. and Crystal Glamour - this filly can run a bit. She ran a cracker against Lineker and won last time when maybe the Alexander horses weren't at their peaks.
side note - Tell me guys, what price would Noor be had she not gone to the Cape where she bit off more than she could chew? She had a big reputation after her two wins. I'm going to say not more than 15/10, especially being a MDK horse. there's 11/2 available if you shop around. good value if you like a bit of her. It's a fascinating race this.

Perhaps a small de Kock double not the worst idea, Suyoof (number 6 drawn 10) x Noor (number 7 drawn 10)
