1,000 Guineas Betting Tips

O’Brien’s filly to prove her class again

Aidan O’Brien has suggested in the countdown to the first fillies’ Classic of the year that LAKE VICTORIA will improve for the run, her first of the year, but the Ballydoyle supremo also pointedly added that the Frankel filly ‘comes very quickly when you start waking her up a little’, suggesting she requires minimal preparation at home ahead of a trip to the racecourse.

She stood her racing well last season, winning a perfect five-from-five and has got herself an excellent helping of Newmarket experience via wins in the Sweet Solera Stakes (7f, good to firm) and the Cheveley Park Stakes (6f, soft) at Headquarters.

In between those runs she won the Group 1 Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh, swooping from last to first impressively, and she rounded off the campaign with a smooth success in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf over a mile at Del Mar – an effort that her Stateside rivals have shone a positive light on since.

All things considered, this Frankel filly has a lot going for her, including the fact that O’Brien has saddled seven winners of this Newmarket Classic before.

The Irishman is bidding to end a four-year drought in the 1000 Guineas and he has a serious gun to fire in Lake Victoria. She can provide Ryan Moore with his fifth career win in this contest.

Simmering could come to the boil

Charlie Appleby has never won the 1000 Guineas but he’s got the wide-margin Fillies’ Mile winner Desert Flower in the Godolphin blue now and the unbeaten Kingman filly is a massive contender.

She stormed home in that Group 1 here last backend after having just briefly looked in a spot of bother two furlongs down. She powered clear from January, but that Ballydoyle inmate is a good way shy of her stablemate Lake Victoria.

Desert Flower deserves to be in the first two in the betting, though perhaps not so far ahead of Lake Victoria. With nine runners and three places to play for, an each-way play on SIMMERING might not be the worst idea ever.

She was second behind Lake Victoria in that Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh after having won the Group 2 Prix du Calvados at Deauville in August.

She was then beaten in the Prix Marcel Boussac at Longchamp on her final start but it was the end of a long season and she was anything but disgraced in fourth in that Group 1.

The Too Darn Hot filly was favourite for the Fred Darling at Newbury in her comeback but the fast ground was blamed for a lacklustre showing and that run might be best forgotten, as Christophe Soumillon didn’t give her a hard time once her chance was gone.

The excellent Dylan McMonagle is back on board here, he knows this filly well, and they could be overpriced to make the frame following that Newbury comeback.
