Newmarket Race 4 - Betfred Jockey Club Stakes (Group 2)
This feature event may go the way of BAY CITY ROLLER (1) who enjoys running fresh. Successful end of last season securing an impressive 7L victory in the G1 Grosser Preis Von Bayern tackling this trip at Munich (Germany) during November. Leading contender. SANTORINI STAR (7) holds big claims after a neck triumph in the 3000m G2 Park Hill Stakes at Doncaster before a second attempting the 2800m G1 Prix De Royallieu at Longchamp (France) last October. Respect on comeback. LION'S PRIDE (4) is a previous Listed course winner who produced a decent 3.5L fourth in the G3 John Porter Stakes attempting this journey at Newbury two weeks ago. Holds claims. EYDON (2) drops in standard. Interesting.
