Newmarket Trainer Harry Eustace Aiming for Cesarewitch Success
Key Strategies for Big Race Success
Newmarket trainer Harry Eustace has earned a reputation for strategically targeting major races, a skill that was notably evident at this year’s Royal Ascot. Eustace secured two victories during the five-day event, with standouts like Docklands at 14-1 odds and Time for Sandals at 25-1 delivering impressive performances.
Divine Comedy Eyes Club Godolphin Cesarewitch
Divine Comedy, one of Eustace’s highlights from Royal Ascot, narrowly missed a top spot, finishing fifth in the Ascot Stakes. This seven-year-old mare is now preparing for the Club Godolphin Cesarewitch at Newmarket. Despite preferring softer ground, Divine Comedy has shown strong performances on firmer tracks, indicating she could still be a strong contender. Backers had placed bets at 20-1, and with favorable odds adjustments, her chances remain intriguing even if the ground is likely to be good to firm.
Reverend Hubert and Winter Fog: Key Contenders
While Divine Comedy gears up, Reverend Hubert emerges as a strong candidate. Despite being drawn in stall 21, he remains a favorite, especially on fast ground. However, his odds of 7-1 reflect the competitiveness of this two-mile, two-furlong race with 21 runners.
Value seekers should consider Irish veteran Winter Fog, trained by Willie Mullins. Although less experienced on flat tracks, Winter Fog has a compelling jumps record, including an impressive performance at Cheltenham. Mullins has a strong history in this race, making Winter Fog at 20-1 an appealing option for each-way backers.
Bopedro and the William Hill Autumn Cup Mile
The William Hill Autumn Cup Mile at York presents a contest between veteran horses Northern Express and Bopedro. While Northern Express leads as the favorite, Bopedro at 15-2 offers potential value. His consistent form, especially on quick ground at York with visor equipment, makes him a viable option for each-way bets.
Outlook for Champions Day and Betting Tips
Looking forward to the Qipco Champions Day, conditions may favor horses that excel on good ground. Trainers who anticipated wet conditions might be surprised.
A promising candidate is Wemightakedlongway, known for strong showings in prestigious races like the Oaks. Betting enthusiasts are advised to seize current odds while conditions promise to be in her favor.
Recent successes include a notable victory with Daryz in the Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe. The anticipated winnings and highly competitive and rewarding racing experience add to the excitement of the upcoming events.
