Haydock Park Race 1 - Betfair Backs Opinions Superior Mile Stakes (Group 3)

NEEDLE MATCH (8) enjoyed a light campaign to date returning from a three-month absence to finish 1.25L runner-up in the G3 Desmond Stakes at Leopardstown (1600m) latest. Soft-ground winner on debut and may find winning ways. THE LOST KING (5) skipped away gaining a 2.5L victory tackling a fierce 1600m handicap at York a fortnight ago. Certainly not overlooked now as he targets loftier tasks. DANCING GEMINI (2) drops in class after down field efforts at the top level over 2000m recently. This is a more realistic assignment. Another on a retrieval mission is HANKELOW (7). Failed to figure in the G3 Strensall Stakes (G3) latest. Not without hope on this fairly quick reappearance.

Resuming after a break of nine weeks. Finished off last campaign 11th of 14 at Sandown Park July 4 over 1600m, 8 len behind Indalo with 59.5kg at $51. First up last campaign third of 11 at this track in the LR Spring Trophy May 9 over 1400m, 6 len behind Lake Forest carrying 61.5kg at $51. Not keen on his chances.

Comes here off a 42-day let-up. At the latest run ran last in a small field in the G2 York Stakes on July 25 over 2100m, 13 len behind Item with 61kg at $17. Before that eased back early on 5th of 8 in the G1 Prince Of Wales's Stakes at Ascot on June 17 over 2000m, 11 len behind Ombudsman carrying 58kg at $41. Terrific chance.

Most recently raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 11 at Goodwood on August 29 over 1400m, 2 len behind Forty Years On carrying 61kg at $15. The race before that ran last of 10 at Ascot on August 8 over 1600m, 11 len behind Crown Board carrying 62kg at $13. Would have to improve further.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 3rd of 11 in the G3 Strensall Stakes at York on August 22 over 1800m, 9 len behind Archivist carrying 60.5kg at $6.50. The race before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 0.8 len in the LR Steventon Stakes at Newbury on July 18 over 2000m defeating Oceans Four carrying 61kg at $2. In form and looks a top chance again.
