Ill take Planteur to beat the Aussie superstar in the Prince Of Wales - that does look a fantastic race.

In the Queen Anne, Goldi is currently 6/4 underdog against Canford Cliffs at 5/4. Id rather be on the mare at those prices..

The bookmakers are very smart, and they know she is the popular choice, which leads me to believe Canford Cliffs should be an even heavier favorite.

Andy, you could well be spot on. I think the general consensus from her last run was that she had lost a step or two and won't have the pace dropping back to a mile against a top notcher like Canford. However, I was impressed with her run, better than the rating guys suggest, the 2nd is a proper horse around Longchamp and the 3rd is a rapid improver (the race will look better by year end I think). On the other hand, the general view was Canford's reappearance was much better which I do not believe.

Add in the fact that Canford's trainer is saying he got so close to beating her last year with Paco and now has a better horse to face her with (I thought Peslier went much too soon in the race last year flattering the runner-up), the public look like they are deserting the mare in favour of Canford.

Poor English racing fans. They will be forced to watch Goldikova, Canford Cliffs, Frankel, and So You Think over the course of Tuesday and Wednesday.

Did you need to say this twice in an effort to get someone to reply?

Just for you, I might say it 10 more times. Because I like you so much. Or I might just not post anymore because it bothers you so much. I just want to do whatever it takes to make you happy. Help me to help you.

I don't take you seriously, so don't sweat it. No rational person would.
