The MDK scratchings are causing havoc in the ante post markets

R5, Mill Queen, looks well in here if running to it's rating and not too badly in need of the run.

R9, Queen Supreme, could be better than rated, does look the most likely banker on the day.

i give it a shout but when i studied shenanigans is the best formline to go on imo obviously queen supreme is talented but been running in small fields where you have all the time to place the horse track the horse thats a danger and finish well now runs in a bigger field with stronger horses i am a sumango fan so ill be shouting home bize... but i do have supreme in second p6.. striker says zilzaal is a banker

I am looking at this from a different perspective, the respective merit ratings of Bize (106) and Queen Supreme (97).

Whilst Bize is rated at 106, 10 or so points are as a result of the mandatory increase. Prior to the increase Bize was a 97. After beating Flash Burn, you've got to ask whether Bize ran to a 97 rating? if not, the rating must be less, let's say 92 to 95 for the sake of discussion.

Queen Supreme is rated 97, but was never subjected to the mandatory increase. The rating increase was solely based on the races won to date, and the handicapper's hands "were tied".

Theoretically Queen Supreme could be better than rated, must well in here and in receipt of 4.5kgs from Bize. Whilst stranger things have happened in racing, I just think Bize has it all to do at the weights against Queen Supreme.

Break a leg though.

difficult to go on merit rating when horses are so lightly raced Bize been given a rating of 104 ran 1.75l behind shenanigans .. zilzaal hardly beat bize and zilzaal will probably win gr2 on Saturday and has a mr of 114 so i am going on form not merit rating in that race Shenanigans is the strongest formline in the race clearly queem surpreme weight is the only real advantage over bize

Exciting days racing awaits - big fields should make for big payouts - initial thoughts on the P6 races - assuming it stays dry -

Leg 1: I think it lies between 4 runners, Ideal Day has a lot going for him and is my choice from Imperious Duke with Hellofaride and Tunnel of Love to fight out 3rd

Leg 2: Looks a 3 cornered contest between Mill Queen, Sidonie and Cockney Pride; not sure how the juvenile form will turn out, so I'm siding with Sidonie

Leg 3: Think this will be fought out between Gaian Glory and Spiritofthegroove, neither is blessed by good draws, but I think they are too classy for the others; Seemyvision and the roughie Blue Spark to fight out 3rd

Leg 4: The big handicap, and many with chances imo; Infamous Fox I think is cherry ripe and will surely be right there; Divine Odyssey looks well in and from pole position will make them run; Approach Control imo did not enjoy the blinkers and I'm giving him one last chance, while Zillzaal can obviously not be ignored; best roughie imo Tilbury Fort, who has done well racing fresh

Leg 5: Putontheredlight for me looks a banker at these weights; I think both Eden Roc and Frosted Gold will struggle to give him weight and a beating; Magic School place chance

Leg 6: Well how good is Queen Supreme ? I think she will be hard pressed against these being 6 months behind, so I'm playing to beat her with Insignis, Roy's Riviera, Bize and Pretty Border all capable of winning this imo, while Perfect Tigress is another who can upset

The rest of the card looks quite tough; I do think Bullsade will give them something to think about in the 11th after a very good last run where she ran about 10 points above her rating, but Carioca with the allowance also looks very well handicapped.

Can't see why Sunshine Silk is favorite in the 12th, both Dawn Assault and Dromedaris surely hold her at the weights

Enjoy

Hearing the Grooms are planning a protest

Let’s hope it passes amicably
