Paul Ferguson has one selection for us on Saturday; Poetic Charm in the Newmarket 15:40. Compare odds and bet.
Ascot’s Shergar Cup wouldn’t be my favourite meeting of the Flat season from a betting perspective, although Contango is one to note in this afternoon’s ‘Classic’.
Andrew Balding’s unbeaten three-year-old looks really progressive and handles easy ground, but the day’s sole selection comes in the shape of POETIC CHARM (3:40) in Newmarket’s Sweet Solera Stakes.
Dance Diva clearly sets the standard, but both Poetic Charm and Mayyasah impressed when making winning debuts and both have greater scope for improvement.
Richard Hannon’s filly travelled like a dream at Newbury and isn’t easily taken on, but the form of Poetic Charm’s course-and-distance success has worked out really well and she is marginally preferred.
The Godolphin-owned daughter of Dubawi finished strongly and had a couple of today’s rivals – both won since – in behind when scoring by a length. Currently available at 9-2 (Hills), she ought to go very close If coping with the softer ground.
Saturday’s selection:
3:40 Newmarket – Poetic Charm; 9/2 William Hill
