The other girls will have a nice view of her behind.
Hope she behaves..... she's quite the quirky type.

If anyone is thinking about betting her, i'd leave it until as late as possible if you can. She can get herself quite stirred up. I'm not sure how it will work in America, but she usually has to be mounted on the track, rather than the paddock. Has she ever been ponied down to the gates before, mmsc? Sha Tin, maybe?

I think Irredesence is a solid single (with honey ryder on a back up ticket). I agree that the Tin Man is a toss, he won't have an easy lead with Sunriver in there. I'll probably use the Euros and maybe After Market.

Article on DRF.com said that Irridescence is going to remain in the U.S. through the end of the year and then be bred, because someone bought out the Team Valor partnership for her and she's going to Rusty Arnold.
Interesting.

I remember once in Dubai she had really got it into her head that she was going to cause havoc, and she did. I saw her in Newmarket last month, and although she wasn't really bad it looked as though she was ready to 'flip', i think if there was anything else that upset her, she would have just gone mad. She sticks her head up in the air, she gets on her toes, she will probably let out a kick or two and then she will give Murtagh a hard time when he first get on her back, but after then, she has usually had her 'fun' and she will settle down at the gates and during the race.

Looking at Irridescence's PP's, including the win over Ouija Board, why isn't she in the Million. After Market may be a monster and The Tin Man is the defending champ, but this is not the best Million field I've ever seen... Her Timeform numbers are right there.
Not saying that she as good as Ouija Board, but if Ouija was in the Million, I'd put the mortgage on her...

Normally she would be favourite, but she hasn't won in over a year now, and i think that is putting many people off. Her second last time at Newmarket (when Johnny Murtagh rode the winner) was her best performance for sometime, and a repeat of that would see her probably win, but consistancy isn't really her strong point and as some of us have posted before, she often lets her behaviour get the better of her.
If you take away her run in the Duty Free (where De Kock had expressed his concerned beforehand) she would probab;t be the FAV. I hope she will win, but i cannot be confident.

Am i right in thinking there could be a huge pace duell in this race? Again, this possibly isn't a good thing for Irridescence. Her best form has come when she has been allowed to race close to the pace and often when allowed to dictate from the front.
Citronnade and Jeannie R are likely to go off fast rom the gate, aren't they? With Irridescence likely to chase this strong pace, it might be worth discounting all three of them. I won't be having a bet, but i would probably go with Lady Of Venice, who shouldn't be too bothered by softer ground as she did win on Good to soft in France.

I would say that there is virtually no way that this race wont be Honey Rider over Lady of Venice. The Team Valor mare is a logical throw out. 6 year old mares that havent won in a long time and that have a front running style in a race they have no shot to get the lead in are usually horrible bets. The fact that she was narrowly able to beat OB in HK last spring is really of no signifigance tomorrow.
