Sealiway 15/2
philomene 3/1

My two bullets

Sealiway romped home in the lagadere on very soft ground and looks like he will get plenty of cut today too.

The way Fabre talks about Philomene you can tell he thinks she's very good. This trip will be on the short side for her but the soft ground and pretty average looking opposition could see her win for the master trainer.

So close to being 2/2, hope it keeps going for you.

Normandy Bridge and Policy Of Truth

Interesting betting difference between UK and France. Sealiway is fav at the mo. Bonne chance!
 
St Mark's won with ease but was anyone on Colosseo?

Is SMB a soft ground merchant?

Very impressive but not sure if the 2/1 is worth taking for St James Palace stakes until ground conditions are known, I suppose he will be in the Irish 2000 and can see how he handles that.

EDIT - sky sports racing pundits talking about him going up to a mile and quarter, no quotes from AOB so pure speculation at moment

All his wins have been on soft so far I believe.

The Irish 2000g is this Saturday, surely he won't be there.

Also, looking at the times, the race was slower than the fillies renewal + he final few furlong times were no faster than the fillies so i'll be waiting for more fallout from the good sectional analysts about his run.
