Queen Elizabeth II Stakes

Soviet Song heads the market for this on account of her consistency but it's debatable whether she deserves to be such short odds. The bold decision to keep her in training this term has been rewarded with four victories, and she showed no sign of going off the boil last time out when reeling in Attraction at Leopardstown earlier this month. Only fifth in last season's renewal, she comes here in much better shape, but that effort in Ireland may just have taken the edge off her, and besides this is a much better contest taking on the colts. No filly has won this race since 1987. With seven members of the classic generation (3 year-olds) victorious in the past decade the one to concentrate on could be French raider Diamond Green at an each way price. The form of his second to Azamour in the St James's Palace Stakes was given a massive boost when the winner captured the Irish Champion Stakes recently, and he is a fresher horse than most of his rivals. That run proved he can handle a fast surface, while he is unlikely to be inconvenienced by any rain as most of his winning has been done on an easy surface. Aidan O'Brien's Ace is unbeaten after three wins in modest company, and could be the joker in the pack.bet365 Queen Elizabeth II prices...
