THE boffins at Timeform reckon punters should side with Karl Burke in the opening race on Day Two, the 25-runner Group 2 Queen Mary over five furlongs.
The bookies do too as they have North Yorkshire trainer Burke’s ZELAINA (2.30) as the 9-4 favourite after her visually impressive debut win at Nottingham.
PALos Angeles is well-fancied in today’s Prince Of Wales’s Stakes[/caption]
Timeform have her on a rating of 90P, the large ‘P’ denoting a horse expected to show significant improvement.
If she does, it could take her past the current top-rated filly in the race True Love who is also expected to improve from her rating of 93p.
Punters should also note canny Burke has won two of the last three editions of this race.
LOS ANGELES (4.20) is not just the top-rated runner in the Prince Of Wales’s Stakes, Timeform make him the second-best horse currently in training in Britain and Ireland.
The form gurus were particularly taken by his win in last month’s Tattersalls Gold Cup which earned him a rating of 126, 2lb less than stablemate Jan Brueghel.
What Los Angeles may lack for in true superstar quality he makes up for with his never-say-die attitude which was too much for Anmaat at The Curragh who looked as if he was going to win but waved the white flag when gritty Los Angeles eyeballed him and battled back.
However Timeform have Anmaat just 1lb behind on 125. See The Fire has a rating of 120 but her 3lb fillies’ allowance edges her closer on 123.
ROGUE LEGEND (6.10) is worth the wait. Timeform reckon he has the best form in the race and they believe a repeat of his win in a conditions race at Tipperary would be good enough today.
He is on a rating of 105p – a whopping 15lb clear of his rivals in this.
