Cap D’Antibes Stakes 2024 Preview

Track: Good 4 Weather: Cloudy

Open race. Drifting is second up and resumed with a strong win. Should give this race a shake. BoldBastille will need luck from the draw but returns from a break and should give this a shake. Tobeornottobe also resumes off a break and has the quality to take this race out. Seascape fought hard to win last start but the form has been suspect since and has to overcome a wide draw.

2024 Cap D’Antibes Stakes Runner by Runner

1. Drifting (11)

Class runner who has been a model of consistency of late. Drawn wide but has Kah to steer and is a top shelf sprinter. Hard to beat as usual.

2. Bellatrix Star (7)

Sound when resuming but strikes a tricky race here. Might find these too slick.

3. Tobeornottobe (3)

Resuming off a break and has jumped out well. Drawn to have all the favours and is a market watch fresh.

4. Bold Bastille (9)

Very classy runner who was solid when resuming behind Mornington Glory. That is very good form for this and should take a stack of beating in this field. Goes on top and just needs even luck from the draw.

5. Overfull (16)

Leaning to others.

6. Harpalee (4)

Can’t have.

7. Manolo Bling (6)

Had its chance last run but still untapped and has the upside to run well in this. Drawn nicely and has good claims.

8. Kuroyanagi (1)

Brings in some strong form, drawn for a peach run and looks a good price to go close in this field. Keep an eye on market moves but this race is well within reach.

9. Symphony Of Colour (2)

Can’t have.

10. In Her Eyes (5)

Prefer others.

11. Seascape (15)

Sound win last start but got the right run and the runner up was just fair since. Looks too short in this from the wide draw.

12. The Dabble Effect (14)

Can’t have.

13. Khadime (8)

Prefer others.

14. Blackberry Bomb (10)

Leaning to others.

15. Foreverintime (12)

Can’t have.

16. Another Prophet (13)

This looks too tough.
