Behind her in third that day was the very highly-regaded filly Alexandrova. And firm ground won't be a problem at all, as the ground was firm enough on Arc Day for Mandesha to set the course record. Hard to get past Ouija Board, but a Ouija Board-Satwa Queen exacta might not be too shabby if everyone and their brother is boxing the two favorites. I respect Wait a While quite a bit, but this is a massive class-hike for her. I agree that she'll be underlaid. On the other hand, it's a pretty much a class drop for Ouija Board, as usual.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-1162236959459795612006-10-30T14:35:00.000-05:002006-10-30T14:35:00.000-05:00Not much history in the F&M turf, essentially the ...Not much history in the F&M turf, essentially the winners have made their last start in Europe, or were transferred to Frankel from Europe earlier in the year. Since Frankel has no entry is appear Quija Board and Satwa Queen are the logical picks, with the QE2 entrants also eligible for a share. I bet and loved Maure in the QE2, however she may have distance limitations. I will include Germance as she seems to be the real marathon runner of the three. <BR/><BR/>WAW will be off my ticket as will the Flower Bowlers.<BR/><BR/>Mr. EdAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-1162229680381561052006-10-30T12:34:00.000-05:002006-10-30T12:34:00.000-05:00Using racingpost.co.uk figures (free registration ...Using racingpost.co.uk figures (free registration required) WAW is a point below OB since she has a WFA allowance.<BR/><BR/>TomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
