Fine Form
Roger Varian is operating at a very healthy strike-rate currently and
Supplicate SL – 8.04
can continue her winning run in the Venture Security Handicap at Salisbury.
With the card moved to an evening slot to avoid the hottest part of the day, Supplicate can win for the fourth time in succession before potentially having her sights raised.
It is likely her owners Cheveley Park Stud will hope she can gain some valuable black-type at some stage but if she is to be up to that she needs to be winning this off a mark of 81.
Varian has brought her along slowly, she won at the second time of asking last season before being put away and she resumed this season with an easy win at Bath off 72.
Given a nice break, she then defied a 5lb rise with the minimum of fuss and even with another 4lb here, she should be tough to beat.
When Oisin Murphy rides for Rod Millman it is usually worth noting and he was obviously keen to maintain his partnership with the rapidly improving
Green Sky SL – 7.34
in the British EBF Premier Fillies’ Handicap.
Formerly with David Pipe, she is unbeaten in three for her new yard, shooting up the ratings from 67 to 83.
She has won those three races by an aggregate of 16 lengths and while life will be harder off her new mark, she is clearly thriving.
Colin Keane makes the journey over to partner Bluestocking and Qirat’s half-sister
Serenetta SL – 6.34
in the Colin Hinton & Mitch Hinton Novice Stakes.
Already a winner, she should have too much for her sole rival but Keane also interestingly rides
Tiora Time SL – 6.04
for Tom Clover in the Al Basti Equiworld, Dubai British EBF Fillies’ Restricted Novice Stakes.
Third to a decent type on debut, she had no trouble winning next time and could be up to defying a penalty.
Mickey Bowen does not run many on the Flat but the fact he has booked championship-chasing Billy Loughnane for
Mia Sunshine WD – 6.41
in the #matchbook Loves Racing Handicap at Windsor sticks out like a sore thumb.
Mia Sunshine has joined Bowen from the all-conquering Francis-Henri Graffard for €130,000 and while he has probably been bought as a dual purpose type, Loughnane will not be riding for the good of his health.
Her French form is difficult to weigh up, she won twice before being tried in Listed company when she was beaten less than seven lengths and a rating of 86 may underestimate her.
Also running at Windsor is
Partying WD – 7.11
who hit the headlines when Amo Racing paid 4,400,000 guineas for her at Tattersalls Book One in October 2024.
She has obviously been very slow to come to hand as she makes her debut in the second half of her three-year-old career but the Frankel filly could be anything and runs in the Matchbook Betting Exchange Supporting UK Racing Maiden Stakes.
Tom Marquand makes the journey to Beverley for just one ride on
Not My Type BE – 2.15
in the Racing TV Club Day EBF Fillies’ Novice Stakes and it should be worthwhile.
Her dam is closely related to One Master for the same connections and the William Haggas-trained filly made a winning debut at Sandown with a subsequent winner back in third.
