Diary: August 16 2007

There are 6 runners from our list to follow tomorrow and 5 of them are in the same race, the Group 3 Sovereign Stakes at Salisbury (4.15) over a mile.  Dunelight looks to have a good chance for in form trainer Clive Cox.  He won a listed race at Goodwood earlier in the season and was 3rd at the same track on his latest outing in the Group 2 Lennox Stakes.  Thousand Words was 4th in that race and finished in fine style after failing to get a clear run.  Hunt Cup winner Royal Oath finished 2nd to Cesare at Ascot with Dunelight a somewhat unlucky 5th.   He then came 8th in the Lennox Stakes.

 

Caldra returns to the track after a long absence and may need the run while Secret World needs to put a poor recent run behind him.  The latter was 4th to Red Evie in the Lockinge though which would put him in with a squeak.  There are plenty of other dangers but I will stay loyal to my “listers” and side with Thousand Words.

 

Our only other runner is Magic Mountain whose recent form has not been convincing.  He runs in the 4.35 at Sandown.

 

Alleviate was a winner for our list today.
