Paul Ferguson has one selection for us on Sunday; Galikova in the 14:40 at Deauville in France. Compare odds and bet.
A pretty ordinary day on the domestic front, but Deauville stages a dual Group 1 card in France and the Prix Jean Romanet is the race of the day for older fillies and mares.
This is where 2010 Oaks Heroine Snow Fairy makes her belated return and she’s joined by Izzi Top, Timepiece and Sea Of Heartbreak, who make up a strong raiding English party.
They will all need to go some to beat the French, however, and the vote goes to Galikova (2:40) who looked to need the run on her return in the Grand Prix De Saint-Cloud in June, where she finished one place ahead of subsequent King George winner Danedream.
A course-and-distance winner at three, the daughter of Galileo ought to be spot on this afternoon and can score for Freddie Head and Olivier Peslier. She was trading at 3/1 with Betfred and Boylesports overnight.
Sunday’s selection:
2:40 Deauville: Galikova (3/1 Betfred, Boylesports)
