Saturday Racing Tips – Dan James Racing

Cinderella’s Dream has long looked a filly with the class to dominate at Newmarket, and she now has the perfect opportunity. She boasts an eye-catching combination of cruising speed and acceleration, often travelling powerfully before putting her races to bed in decisive fashion. The step up in trip is expected to suit, as her pedigree hints at further improvement when stamina is tested. Newmarket’s galloping track, with its uphill finish, plays to her strengths, ensuring her ability to sustain a run will be a major asset.

Ground conditions are also in her favour, and she has shown adaptability to different surfaces in the past. Her consistent strike rate highlights both talent and temperament, while her tactical versatility allows her to sit handy or be held up depending on the race shape. With class, scope for improvement and proven determination, Cinderella’s Dream rates a highly likely winner here.

Prince Of India lines up at Ascot with an enviable profile and the tools to deliver another big performance. A proven sprinter with raw pace, he also carries the toughness to maintain form across high-class races. His ability to race prominently without over-racing makes him especially dangerous at Ascot, where positioning is crucial. The form of his recent runs has worked out strongly, boosting confidence that he remains ahead of the handicapper. His turn of foot in the closing stages can be devastating, particularly when he gets cover before striking late. Importantly, he has already shown an affinity for Ascot’s straight course, handling both the undulations and stiff finish.

With the draw looking favourable and conditions set fair, he should be ideally placed to deliver maximum effort at the business end. A horse with speed, courage and consistency, Prince Of India has every chance to secure victory.

Tenability arrives at Ascot in peak condition and holds strong claims of taking this contest. The colt has been steadily progressive, showing both tactical speed and a finishing kick, traits perfectly suited to Ascot’s stiff straight. His most recent performances suggest he is still improving, and the return to this trip looks ideal. A key strength is his ability to travel strongly through his races before quickening when asked, often putting rivals under pressure at the crucial stage. The likely pace scenario should play into his hands, with enough speed up front to set the race up for a closer.

Conditions are unlikely to trouble him, and his profile suggests he thrives when pitched into competitive company. With stamina assured and form lines holding up well against quality opposition, Tenability has all the ingredients to stamp his authority and looks a leading contender to land this prize.
