Newmarket Race 3 - Betmgm Sun Chariot Stakes (Fillies' & Mares' Group 1)
This is all about BLUE BOLT (1) aiming to make it six wins in a row. Andrew Balding trains the star filly who finished runner-up in this twelve months ago and can go one spot better here having completed a G1 hat-trick registering a smooth success over CITY OF MEMPHIS (2) in the G1 Matron Stakes at Leopardstown last time. The latter looks like chasing her home once again and deserves plenty of respect. CALENDAR GIRL (4) wasn't seen to best effect when sixth in the G3 Atalanta Stakes at Sandown last time however she remains progressive and may get involved. KON TIKI (3) probably needs more to trouble the judge but rounds out the shortlist.
