We have one of the better Saturday cards of the summer tomorrow with cracking action at Doncaster and over in Ireland. I previewed the St Leger earlier in the week when I backed Windshear and it's a good race to get stuck into because Kingston Hill is such a heinous price and there is a ton of value there. Ladbrokes are offering four places so I've topped up my bet with them and added Snow Sky at 11/2. I backed this horse in the Voltigeur and the only reason I fancy Windshear more is his slightly better Leger type pedigree.
Over at Leopardstown Australia should cement his position as the best middle distance colt in training in a straightforward looking Champion Stakes but the layers have slipped up in making his stable companion Tapestry favourite for the Matron Stakes. This filly is all over a middle distance performer and was impressive enough in lowering Taghrooda's colours in the Yorkshire Oaks but this step back in trip to a mile is far from guaranteed to suit and Rizeena has decisions over her already. Clive Britain's charge is a proven Group 1 quality animal whose best form is on fast ground and it makes no sense to me that she isn't 13/8 or 7/4 for this. If she runs to form she wins. Simple.
St Leger:
Windshear £20ew @ 9/1 and £10ew @ 7//1 (4pl) (4th)
Snow Sky £25w @ 11/2 mbs (3rd)
Matron Stakes:
Rizeena £50w @ 5/2 (2nd)
(+1021.45)
