2012 York Ebor Meeting Thursday Preview Part 2

Another twenty strong handicap is up next and there is a huge margin between the top and bottom weight with Godolphin's Sandagiyr at 9-10 while bottom weight Strictly Silver carries a mere 7-12. Postscript looks like he knows a thing or two about hitting the board and should be part of the reckoning here. William Haggas and Paul Hanagan team up for a run with Kahruman, who is a three-year-old son of Mr Greeley.

Godolphin also saddle Invisible Man for this one and he gets Dettori - a clear indication that he's the preferred entry. He's not won for a while but should be worth a look here as this is the type of race where top quality piloting can make all of the difference. 

A mere seven challengers line up for the Darley Yorkshire Oaks the days' Group 1 feature contest. Shirocco Star is here for this one and she's been so close to making a breakthrough over the past few efforts that you reckon plenty will take plenty of support ahead of this. 

The main danger looks to be The Fugue who lines up for the John Gosden yard with William Buick booked for the mount. The three-year-old daughter of Dansili will get 8 lbs on the four-year-old charges and should be able to deploy her trademark flourish late in this one with the going looking likely to hold up the way that it is. Shareta is the selection from a rating's standpoint but just hasn't made a breakthrough in a while. 

The fourth race is a listed contest for fillies and mares with Sequence lining up for the Queen as Sir Michael Stoute looks to make it three in a row for the daughter of Selkirk. Sheikh Hamdan saddles Firdaws for this one while Bite Of The Cherry could surprise with Hayley Turner playing the girl power card. 

Several of the fillies listed in the final race at 4:50 should be able to find the line first and that's likely going to make this a solid betting race. Riot of Colour has been in the top two in his past five races and deserves plenty of respect Shesastar has a course and distance victory and will likely take some late support while the Sir Michael Stoute/Dettori tandem get together for a run with ladyship - who has a very solid record and looks to be one of the leading choices.
