What's going to win?

Richard Birch, in the RP, p3, states that 'there is no reason why (Librisa Breeze) shouldnt hold his own in racing's premier league' Yes there is - he has failed to win a Group 3 let alone a Group 1.

Here are my speed figures for the Sprint with some class and form comments:

Quiet Reflection - Commonwealth Cup winner (GP1) (59) (form questionable), July Cup 3rd (63), 32Red Haydock winner (Group 1)( SF65) Solid credentials stays 6f.
Holds The Tin Man (GP1, 2nd) 64, 62.
Twilight Sun Group 1 winner Haydock Sprint Cup 2015 (now 32RED) 78, 73. Enjoys cut in the ground. R. Moore rides (asset). Light season runs in preference to Limato. Won Diamond Jubilee (Ascot 2016) holds Signs Of Blessing (GP1 Prix Maurice de gheest) (slow). Has to overcome poor run l.t.o. but is fresh. Best this season 65 (Ascot)

Shalaa GP1 winner Middle Park 2015 (59) form looks dated and poor form of the other runners in 2016 inc. Buratino a negative. Group 3 winner 2016 when '80%' says trainer. Mehronnissa and Raucous behind. Holds Dont Touch (4th). Only recorded a speed figure in line with 2015 - 61. Needs to find improvement
but trainer in form.

Mecca's Angel : untested over 6 furlongs but would be favourite to beat this field over 5 furlongs. Good ground ok dual Nunthorpe winner (GP1) Speed figure of 82 in 2016 renewal. Has been hard to pull up over 5 furlongs and jockey reported that he should stay 6 furlongs when (see Raceform comments 2015, Nunthorpe).

I've backed Mecca's Angel at 10.5 to win.

Any other thoughts?

If she can get a toe in she is the target. But for an outsider I fancy Donjuan Triumphant to run a good race. When Ryan got off him at Haydock he said that the ground was too fast for the horse. Today he is 3lb and a run better off with Quiet Reflection. At Deauville some thought that Signs Of Blessing was given too much rope. Donjuan could easily turn the tables today. Further he has good Autumn form. 66/1 looks like value to me.

Im aware of DT and I backed it behind Quiet reflection early this season. I formed the opinion that it performs best in France - like Speedy Boarding. I cant think why that is but if I am wrong it is a lively outsider. Had some useful 2 y.o. form.
