SAVE A FOREST is the value play against favourite Free Wind in the Group 2 Hippo Pro3 Park Hill Fillies’ Stakes (3.15) at Doncaster today.
A 40-1 fourth to Snowfall in the Cazoo Oaks at Epsom in June, Roger Varian’s daughter of Kingman was back to winning form in the Listed Chalice Stakes over a mile and a half at Newmarket at the end of July.
The way she ground to a half-length margin over Sayyida suggested Callum Shepherd’s mount would be well worth a try over an additional two furlongs - and Save A Forest can prove the point by capturing the ‘Fillies’ St Leger’.
It will rank as one of the shocks of the meeting if INSPIRAL does not defend her unbeaten record in the Group 2 Cazoo May Hill Stakes (2.40).
Frankel's daughter is as short as 8-1 favourite for next year’s QIPCO 1,000 Guineas after wins in a Newmarket maiden and Sandown Park’s Listed Star Stakes this summer - and the hat-trick beckons en route to a crack at Group 1 company.
After landing the big sales race at York last time, EVER GIVEN, part-owned by ex-footballer Michael Owen, is fancied to repeat the trick in the Weatherbys Scientific £200,000 2-Y-O Stakes (2.10).
There is more to come from DAIQUIRI FRANCAIS in the British Stallion Studs EBF ‘Carrie Red’ Fillies Nursery (1.40), and the same applies to MOTAWAAJED in the Cazoo Handicap (3.45).
At Epsom, the home of the Derby, VALENTINO DANCER gets the vote to add to a return-to-action score at Newbury last month by landing the Emplas Express Jump Jockeys Derby Handicap (2.55).
