Newmarket Race 2 - JCB Newmarket Stakes (Listed)
POSEIDON'S WARRIOR (5) looks promising having recorded a 5L victory on second start over 1800m at Goodwood last season before returning with a smart 1L second in the 1800m Listed Feilden Stakes at this venue sixteen days ago. Ticks plenty of boxes. MY LOVE IS KING (4) made a winning debut last November tackling a 1400m novice race at Newcastle AW prior to a neck second tackling 2000m among novice company at Newbury a fortnight ago. Main danger. LYNEHAM (3) is another who holds multiple classic entries. Managed to get off the mark at the second attempt last October with a 1600m maiden success here. Makes appeal. ARCHERS BAY (2) bids for a hat-trick after a course and distance handicap victory two weeks ago. Place option.

He is resuming after a seven months break. Finished off last preparation second last of 8 at this track in the G2 Royal Lodge Stakes September 27 over 1600m, 14 len behind Bow Echo with 58kg at $17. At his first start won by 0.5 len Beverley July 29 over 1500m defeating Jeddaal carrying 60.5kg at $1.70. Not keen on his chances.

Second run back. First-up after four months won by 0.5 len at this track April 15 over 2000m defeating Waterford Castle carrying 60.5kg at $17. Previously second-up 4th in a small field at Tipperary on October 5 over 1810m, on heavy track; 13 len behind Shosholoza carrying 60.5kg at $13. Hard to fault form and can measure up again.

Second-up. First-up after six months 2nd of 7 at this track in the LR Feilden Stakes on April 15 over 1800m, 1.0 len behind Morshdi with 58kg at $2.80. Previously second-up favourite; scored a big 5 len win at Goodwood October 12 over 1800m defeating Edwin Hubble carrying 60.5kg at $1.40. In form and certainly worth following up.
