Sarafina cemented her position at the head of the market for the Arc with a nice success at Longchamp on Sunday. I have topped up my position at the 4/1 she touched just after the race.
The horse she beat in the Grand Prix de Saint Cloud, Cirrus Des Aigles, a gelding who can't run in the Arc, has been put up at 8/1 for the Champion Stakes at Ascot in mid October. This is a race with a nice betting shape at the moment as So You Think heads the market at 7/4 but is more likely to go to Paris and second favourite Twice Over has a poor record at the track. I wonder if Corals oddsmaker realises the race has moved venues. In any event, my selection has won impressively twice since going down to Sarafina, is progressive and will be a lot shorter on the day I would imagine.
