Newmarket Cambridgeshire Meeting Day Two – CopyBet
The Cambridgeshire Meeting provides an exciting three days of racing at Newmarket and day two takes place at headquarters on Friday.
There are seven races on the card from 13:15-16:45, with the highlights including a pair of Group 2’s, a Group 3 and two listed races.
Touleen – NEWMARKET
The first Group 2 of the Cambridgeshire Meeting comes in the form of the Rockfel Stakes and Shadwell Racing hold a massive hand with the exciting TOULEEN.
Owen Burrow’s two-year-old is lightly raced but remains unbeaten and saw off fellow race rival and odds on favourite, Zanthos, in emphatic fashion last time out at Leicester.
This will be the toughest test Touleen has faced to date as she steps up to group company for the first time. However, she seems very progressive and will enjoy the additional benefit of having top course jockey, William Buick, in the saddle.
Elwateen – NEWMARKET
It could be a good day for Shadwell Racing as their smart three-year-old, ELWATEEN, looks like a strong choice in the opening race of day two.
Saeed Bin Suroor’s filly has been running in Group 1 contests all season but finds herself down in listed company for this race.
She ran well enough in the 1000 Guineas back in May and looked a smart prospect in the making, however, she has been unable to back that performance up in her two runs since.
It could be that a return to the Rowley Mile this afternoon is just what she needs to bounce back to form, and it will be interesting to see how she performs stepping substantially down in grade.
Jane Temple – NEWMARKET
John Gosden has won the Princess Royal Stakes three times in the last 10 years and he looks in good shape to add to that tally in this year’s renewal, with three runners set to line up.
While Understudy and Miss Justice have their plaudits, JANE TEMPLE could be the best of the trio, as she arrives in good form.
Her most recent run saw her best race to date in terms of RPR’s, as she was just pipped late on by Silent Love, a rival she will face again in this race.
Silent Love is towards the head of the betting, but it is important to note that there is now a 3lb weight swing in favour of Jane Temple.
If Jane Temple is able to replicate her latest performance, she should have a great chance to put herself in the frame.
