1:50 York, Zain Claudette – 13/2 1pt win
A tight heat between the top 5 and on the ratings ZC looks to have the toughest challenge. But she’s surely soon to be rated much higher than 98 after her two very impressive wins on her last two starts, including when beating one of tomorrow’s rivals in ‘Desert Dreamer’ last time, and has been competing at a high level, owning a rating 103. The way she finished her race off that day looked very impressive, not only to the eye but on the clock as well, as she produced the second fastest final furlong sectional time of the whole meeting, and if she can run to a similar level tomorrow, then it may well be enough to win this group 2.
