Champions Day

Cracking day of racing and I am glad to say a cracking day for it. Nice little result yesterday with Modeyra winning well and swelling the bank for a punt or two today.
I am basically standing by my ante post picks today as listed last week. Delegator in the first, Dream Ahead for the Dewhurst, Vision D'Etat in the Champion and Red Cadeaux for the Cesarewitch.
Godolphin and Frankie are back amongst the winners and Delegator looks a good bet in the Victor Chandler Stakes.
So many column inches have been written about the The Dewhurst there is little I can add other than my opinion that Dream Ahead has looked top class so far and I think might be the better horse over the trip compared to the other main contenders.
In the Champion Vision D'Etat has an outstanding chance. One of the best mile and a quarter horses in the world and a four time Group One winner who has been lightly campaigned this season. Clearly did not like the track at Meydan in Dubai and I expect him  to run a massive race today.
The Cesarewitch is one of those crazy races that you shouldn't get involved with but every year you do. Red Cadeaux is as tough as old boots, game and consistent and will certainly not be beat for lack of effort. A strongly run test of stamina might just find him out but the same can be said for several of the other runnners and if he was guaranteed to get the trip I think he would be even shorter than the 14-1 on offer at Stan James.
Be Lucky
