Bet365 Comment on this weekend's racing
2000 Guineas - NewmarketSa Apr 28 - Live on C4The first of his year's Classics has all been about Dubawi in recent weeks, the Dubai trained 'wonder-horse' having been well-backed into favouritism on the back of some 'blinding' pieces of home-work. If he's as good as they say he'll win, but there has to be a doubt about him delivering the goods first time out on his return to wet and windy Newmarket and, at such cramped odds, we'll give him the cold shoulder. The key to the race could be Newmarket's Craven Stakes, an unsatisfactory 'trial' in that a modest gallop resulted in a bunched finish at the business end of the race, contributing to a lack of racing room. The two to suffer most were runner-up Rob Roy and fourth placed Iceman, with the latter in particular suffering a nightmare run. A smart juvenile, who looks sure to benefit from the faster-paced mile of Saturday's race, Iceman rates the best alternative to the favourite. bet365 latest 2000 Guineas prices ?

That's a shame as my original selection, Karen's Caper, is a lot shorter now than she would have been.Still, I'm not going to desert her now after the way she devoured the final furlong of the Nell Gwyn Stakes at Newmarket, looking sure to appreciate the extra furlong of the Guineas. There was no fluke about that win, and she can again take care of the Nell Gwyn second, Cape Columbine, who may do better over shorter distances. Of the others, Shanghai Lily, probably owes her position in the market to the reputation of her trainer Michael Stoute, while Maids Causeway might just lack the pace needed to win a Guineas. A more interesting each-way bet is Penkenna Princess, who showed she had trained on with a gutsy win in the Fred Daring Stakes at Newbury.bet365 latest 1000 Guineas prices ?
