ITV Racing Tips – Monday

NEWMARKET 13:50 – CALENDAR GIRL

Owen Burrows and Kennet Valley Syndicates hit the jackpot with this bargain buy when she raced home in front of 20 rivals to win a big sales race at Doncaster, collecting over £215,000 in prize money.

Her form has held up relatively well, and it looked on Town Moor like Calendar Girl may enjoy going back up in trip, something she will get when stepping into Group company for the first time in the Godolphin Lifetime Care Oh So Sharp Stakes.

YORK 14:05 – GHOST MODE

Andrew Balding’s two-year-old made amends for an odds-on defeat when powering clear to score by a wide margin at Chester last month and is worth sticking with in the British EBF £100,000 Final now the penny has dropped.

NEWMARKET 14:45 – COSMIC YEAR

Harry Charlton’s charge looked a hot prospect earlier on this year when following up impressive strikes at Kempton and HQ by finishing second to Field Of Gold in the Irish 2,000 Guineas.

Cosmic Year subsequently disappointed in a couple of races at Deauville and Goodwood on soft going, but has been given a nice break to recover and should appreciate getting back on better ground in the Group Two Thoroughbred Industry Employee Awards Challenge Stakes.

NEWMARKET 14:57 – PRECISE

Aidan O’Brien cleaned up in the Group One juvenile events at ParisLongchamp on Arc day and again holds a strong hand in the Bet365 Fillies’ Mile, being responsible for four of the 11 entries.

Precise will be partnered by Christophe Soumillon and stands out from the Ballydoyle raiding party, having followed up her Group Three success at Goodwood by gamely landing the elite-level Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh from stablemate Beautify and Karl Burke’s Venetian Sun.

CHEPSTOW 15:43 – QUEENSBURY BOY

Owner David Maxwell has revealed that trainer Harry Derham pleaded with him to run this six-year-old in the Grade Two Dragonbet Persian War Novices’ Hurdle before he heads to the sales, and we’re taking the hint.

Queensbury Boy had some smart form in bumpers and was twice a winner over timber at Doncaster and Newbury in the spring before understandably finding the pace too hot behind Final Demand at the Punchestown Festival. He remains a horse with huge potential.
