Deauville Sunday

the 3.10 has to be one of the softest group 1's all season.

TFM
I backed Family One last time after he posted a very good time previously. He appeared to have a very easy race last time, in what was an unusually slow time for a sprint, even by French standards, looks like he should go well again. I have Frederick Engels 4lbs ahead of him but he's had a few hard races, it's impossible to say where he would've finished without the interference last time and I wouldn't be confident about how he will run tomorrow. Dabarism might be open to more improvement but he looks too short on what he's achieved so far. Sofast, as they say, could be anything. The race looks a bit trappy for me but if I was picking one I'd side with your choice.

I'm surprised you've opposed Timepiece, it's debatable whether she's any value but she looks a worthy favourite.

I have never been a fan of Timepiece to be honest,but she seems to have really stepped up on her last 2 runs,i respect her but at 5/4 to Announce's 3/1 thats just to big of a gap in the prices for me to turn down,

Announce is a proper good ground mare and racing in france does not usally get it,only raced on official good ground once to date and that was first time up this season when showing an electric turn of foot to win a group 3 readily,after that she was only beaten 2 lengths by Sarafina then gave Cirrus des aigles one hell of a race over 10f when just beaten a length into 2nd by him,the form is really solid and the ground is good,as long as the rain does not come i would be more than confident

Timepiece is a miler surely - Announce looks the one.

Decided to lay Dabirsim as he's too short. His time was nothing special when winning last time, makes him no better than Gatepost. He'll need to improve on that to beat Frederick Engels and Family One if they run to form. Obviously he's unbeaten so further improvement can't be ruled out but he didn't appear to have much left in the locker last time.

Agree that she does look a miler,thats where her best for is,plus there is a pacemaker in todays race so hopefully they should not go a crawl and sprint finish to suit Timepiece

Can't agree about Timepiece being strictly a miler. She has some useful form over 10f and personally I've always thought she'd even get 12f, the Oaks wasn't her true running.

did look a miler in the warwick oaks imo.

didnt

TheFormMan is a dickheid of the highest order who posts fibs on the footie forum

watch your language sofia,we dont tolerate that sort of behaviour over here and just out of interest,what fib might that be?

Looks like I'm still in York mode

Definite "Wow Factor" performance there. The first by a juvenile this year IMO.

Smart pedigree too. Champion Miler in the Far East out of a Royal Academy mare. I'm calling it now....he'll win a classic next season.

anybody know anything about divine music in the next, really strong on the pmu, is it just money for a local trainer or has she actually got a chance bearing in mind she's been running in handicaps

Well done TFM.

well done TFM, nice boost for Sarafinas form [:D]

It sure is, 14/1 for you 12/1 for me £CHING CHING£ on arc day
