1000 Guineas..Final Declarations & Tips

The 1000 Guineas -Newmarket, Sunday 2nd May, 3.15

After months of speculation the 1000 Guineas has finally arrived, and we now have the final declarations for the Race run at Newmarket on Sunday, shown Live on Channel 4.

The 1000 Guineas is sponsored by Stan James, who are giving a 5% Bonus on all win bets in the 1000 Guineas, so you must take advantage of the Free Bet and the win bonus offered by Stan James.

Reader of Racing Diary were advised to Back Rain Bow view earlier in the season and indeed we have already made money on this race by laying Fantasia at a short price with the conviction that she would not win.

We look at the major players from the field of 15 runners. Rainbow View heads the market at 11/10, 5/4 in places. Again we advised clients before the Nell Gwynn to take a bigger price, so far so good!

Lets start with some stats (courtesy of formbet)

• 12 from the last 20 winners were in the top-two in the betting market
• All of the last 20 winners were under 14/1
• 6 of the last 7 winners had won their last race
• 18 of the last 20 winners had raced in Group Company in their last run
• The last 13 winners had previously won or finished 2nd in a Group race
• 16 of the last 20 winners had raced at either Newmarket or Newbury last time out

So far Rainbow View has looked the best filly we have seen, but we have not seen here as a 3 year-old yet. Lets have a look at the main players in this Stan James 1000 Guineas.

Rainbow View- 5/4

Group 1 winner on final 2 year old start, beating Fantasia who won Nell Gwyn. Unbeaten and makes season reappearance in this Classic. Described as Wild by the trainer, but is a worthy favourite. The horse that beats her will win!

Serious Attitude- 5/1

Rae Guest trains this filly who cost only 7500 Guineas and has already netted the owners £158k. Wintered well says trainer and won the Cheveley Park last term. Gosden rates her as main danger to Rainbow View.

Cuis Ghaire – 10/1

Jim Bolger won the 1000 Guineas in 2007, and Kevin Manning will be on board Cuis Ghaire on Sunday. The stable had big winners last year with Lush Lashes and New Approach and know a good horse when they see one. Cuis Ghaire won the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot last year, over six furlongs but suffered  two subsequent defeats. Very Good Each Way Bet.

Lahaleeb – 12/1

Won the Dubai Duty Free at Newbury last season. She is tough, but isn’t very big. Very hard to see her reversing the Doncaster form with Rainbow View.

Ghanaati – 16/1

Very well bred, hacked up in her Kempton maiden. Hill’s stable has been in good form this year but punters should wait to see what the market thinks. Has been backed at 300/1 on Betfair. Well backed but would need to be very good.

Again – 16/1

Ryan Moore gets the ride for David Watchman. Disappointed in the Prix Marcel Boussac (14th) but has a Group One win to her name. More of an Oaks type.

Shimah- 16/1

Was beaten fair and square by Again last year. Trainer has made good noises, but will need to have improved.

Nashmiah- 25/1

Jamie Spencer booked and I have heard very good reports about this filly coming from the Clive Brittain stable.

Racing Diary Advice…

We have already given you Rainbow View. Not original but she looks the real deal. The fact that the owner too Fantasia out suggests all is well with Rainbow View.

Back to Win Rainbow View

Back now 11/10 with Stan James- Plus 5% Bonus if Wins

As an each way I would be tempted by the Bolger filly, Cuis Ghaire. Looked a good filly at Royal Ascot and likely to have trained on if trainer runs her here.

Each-Way Cuis Ghaire

Back now 10/1 Stan James- Plus 5% Bonus if wins!
