The Vanity 2024 Preview
Track: Good Weather: Fine
Looking towards some value in this. French Endeavour will enjoy the rise in trip and was good fresh. This race looks a suitable target. Basilinna has claims and does boast a win over Wolfy and some good efforts in open company. Goes in the mix. Mollynickers resumes but showed plenty last prep and will be hard to beat. Infatuation has class and looks well placed against these.
The Vanity 2024 Runner by Runner
1. Infatuation (12)
Bounced back to form last start and looks well placed against this company. Awkward draw to overcome but racing in good fashion and looks suitably placed.
2. Mollynickers (11)
Showed plenty last prep and just needs a good ride from the draw to be giving this race a shake. On the short side but goes in the mix and will be hard to beat resuming.
3. Basilinna (1)
Gets a gun run and has open company form. Over the odds in this.
4. Grinzinger Belle (13)
Showed some good form last prep and gets Lane aboard. Tough draw but a market watch fresh.
5. Material Dreams (7)
Can’t have.
6. French Endeavour (8)
Did enough fresh and will enjoy rising in trip. Goes in the mix and maps okay from barrier 8 to have last crack at them. Over the odds.
7. Donegal (10)
Needs luck from the barrier but over the odds in early markets and Zahra steers. Keen to see it take the next step and can do so here.
8. Thailess (3)
Can’t have.
9. Pink Chandon (2)
Racing well and gets a gun run. Goes in the mix.
10. Sparkling (14)
Can’t have.
11. La Casona (4)
Too short in early markets. Leaning to others.
12. Luijzika (6)
Good win last start and looks progressive but too short. Can’t have at the price.
13. Inez (9)
Can’t have.
14. Bolsheviks (5)
Prefer others.
