Paul Ferguson has another selection for us today; Emirates Queen, 8/11, in the 16.05 at Salisbury. Compare odds and bet.
Having looked good when winning a Doncaster maiden at the second attempt in June Emirates Queen (4:05) ran a cracker when runner-up in a Listed event at York last month and she can go one better in the Upavon Stakes at Salisbury this afternoon.
Luca Cumani’s filly belied her inexperience last time, running a massive race despite being the first off the bridle. She kept on strongly for Kieren Fallon’s urgings and hit the front inside the final furlong, only to be worn down late on by the smart Barefoot Lady.
The slight drop back in trip should, therefore, suit today and a similar run will make her very difficult to beat. She was pushed along some way out when winning the time before, too, but I put that down to greenness and, once she gets the hang of things, she could develop in to a classy sort.
The daughter of Street Cry opened up at 10/11 on Thursday evening with Bet365 and it will be disappointing if she can’t return to winning ways.
Wednesday’s selection:
