The Coral Eclipse looks like being a cracking race on Saturday despite the customary small turnout. So You Think or Workforce?

There is no doubt that if this was over twelve furlongs then the current odds available on these two would be reversed, so why is there such a negative about Workforce and such  positive vibes behing So You Think? The Australian form is there for all to look at, but unlike their sprinters, our middle class horses are not necessarily behind their Aussie counterparts and the form of the races won in Australia by So You Think are difficult to work out with no direct form connections to go on. The two races won in Irleand were at odds of 2/13 and 1/7 and were hardly difficult races. Windsor Palace was put in as a pace maker both times, why was there a need for this in such easy races? 

What we do know about Workforce is that he is a Derby winner, an Arc de Triomphe winner and quite importantly he is a course winner at Sandown. The front runner will make sure that there is a good sensible gallop with Jimmy Fortune being such a good judge of pace, So You Think will sit just off the pace and then Workforce will be delivered with a challenge in the final two furlongs. This SYT's fourth outing of the campaign and despite A O'Briens claims that he wasnt fully wound up for Royal Ascot, the horse looked 100%, Workforce on the other hand is having just his second outing and is sure to improve for it.

At ten furlongs in the Derby and in the Arc Workforce was cruising (at a lesser pace of course) and he was never in danger of losing on his seasonal debut against lesser horses it must be said over that distance, on his other try at 1o furlongs, yes he finished second, but the bit came through his mouth that day early in the race he hung and raced awarkdly that day and did well to finish second.

I'm on Workforce at 3.3 for £200 which maybe was not a good choice as he is still available at 3 at the books and some forecast he may go off bigger. Still 3.3 it is which leaves me looking for a lay off price of 2.02 at £327 for an all green screen to the value of £120.
