Six go in Sunday's Ganay at Longchamp where thr ground is Very Soft after a lot of rain in France. MAP OF STARS has gone the traditional French route to this - via the Exbury (Gr.3) and the Harcourt (Gr.2) and looked particularly good in the latter which was run on decent ground. Whether he's as effective on very soft turf might be the question but he's fit and improving which at this time of year counts for a lot. We know 2000m on soft ground works well for AL RIFFA and on his close second to City of Troy in last year's Eclipse he would be right in this. They tried him at 2400m and he looked very good winning a German Group 1 but was well beaten in the Arc. His last run was third to SHIN EMPEROR in the Group 2 at the Saudi Cup meeting - the winner didn't do much for that form last time. The other Irish runner is the filly HIGHER LEAVES and for all she won the Group 3 Fille de l'Air at the back end in style, that's a fair way short of this level. The British raider is ROYAL RHYME from the Karl Burke yard and he's a serious threat. He won the Group 3 Brigadier Gerard on soft ground at Sandown and his last three wuns were in the Juddmonte, the Irish Champion and the British Champion last season so certainly dining at the top table. It's no surprise he was well held in the Juddmonte (plenty of good horses were including an Arc winner) and he ran okay in Ireland but his third at Ascot on soft ground is a decent bit of form in this company. The Burke horses are in good form - five individual 2-y-o winners already suggesting he has a decent crop of young horses. HORIZON DORE is a mainstay in this kind of race - he was well held in fifth last year but ran well in defeat in both the Ispahan and the Prince of Wales. He looks held by MAP OF STARS on Harcourt form and he's another who might prefer better ground. SOSIE is an intriguing runner. He was third in the Jockey Club and then won the Grand Prix de Paris and the Niel before going off 4/1 favourite for the Arc and finishing a decent fourth to Bluestocking. I'm not convinced a tactical 2000m works for him first time out and I can't help but think his main objectives this year will be at the longer trip leading to a return to the Arc in five and a bit months. MAP OF STARS looks the one thought for me he is lacking Group 1 form and the ground may not be ideal. AL RIFFA would go close if on song but I prefer ROYAL RHYME to provide a British winner. INTERNAUTE, who was four and a half lengths behind SOSIE in the Grand Prix de Paris, goes for the Group 3 Barbeville over 3100m, the first significant French staying race of the year.  The most interesting horse on Sunday's card is AVENTURE who goes in the Group 3 Allez France for the fillies and mares over 2000m rather than the Group 1. AVENTURE chased home Bluestocking in both the Vermeille and the Arc and I imagine a strong 2400m campaign is being planned for this filly who will probably need the run but is one to take very seriously. Back to domestic matters and going into the final two days of the jumping season, Dan Skelton retains a lead of £58k in the Trainers Championship thanks to an across the card treble at Perth and Warwick yesterday. 

what was your multi Trips if i may ask?today looked bloody impossible

moving forward we see two interesting runners on Sunday, if Mereana Hudson goes forward and settles handy even slightly wide Downtrou can win fresh in Race 5 at 10s, looks a horse capable of more....from the trial at Foxton Boomtown Boy looks primed at 9.5 in R8, a few horses in here i would normally prefer as well, the multi is close to 100-1 so a lazy 10  for 1k why not

looked on the cards as many seemed  to sit and wait like Hemi on golden lining,, not sure how sharp that final bend is there but many were doing a Michael Coleman which makes that corner a lot sharper than needed to be...if we cant get our surfaces right ( and the forecast looked obvious days before ) then we need to change the shape of our tracks to suit or use a grass more compatible particularly around transitioning from drier conditions .....but it is 2025 and like the rest of the World  generally we continue to make the same mistakes over and over  , there is obviously money to be made with the status quo 🙄

And 4 seconds quicker than Republican Party ran . He is just incredible and to run 3.14 on his ear wow

Was an awesome race PS . Great drive by Carter and nice going with the quinella . Mighty runs as you say by Hayden's two . They ran home in 27.2 , so Mo and those two sizzled home . Mark and Nathan's horses really disappointed , especially Chase a Dream and I think they just went too hard for Oscar . But wasn't it good to see the brilliant Marketplace win ?  Ben Hope had a nightmare was a tough watch for those who backed MM . Even worse for those who took Blair in the Drivers Challenge at $1.16 . When I looked I thought how can he not win , you just never know   . 

Looks like they worked it out ok between them . Carter was gunna try and hold for sure like you said but RR put on too much pressure.  Popped out and retook the lead again ok . Carter is becoming a fab driver. Your mate BIG Mo doing great too with a big 2nd.  so I enjoyed a nice $13 Quinella with the 2 fantastic horses.  Robbie Close doing real well 👍💰. The Cullens would of been delighted with their 2 horses 3rd and 4th too. should of taken a FIRST 4 lol.  was near 400 bucks too and not a real hard one to get.  NZ seems to be getting stronger once again in the Training ranks with all those trainers able to beat Allstars many times these days. and the Fast Class horses are looking good too in recent times.  was some pretty good action at the Park tonight. 

Would love to see him here…. At Menangle…. We already have had our Derby…. MP vs E Stewart…. Mouth watering….

Dunn Oh!! What to say really 🤣 Hopefully Marketplace will venture across the ditch and strut his stuff. 

MP….what a horse…. supersonic win… J Dunn…. Definitely no D Dunn… Got The Chocolates…. Poor drive ….

Thank you, I tried to find something that had a bit of value that looked like it had a good chance. 🤞

Yes, they certainly add to the picture, and positively too.

Sure can...good luck

For my $25 bet could I please have $10 win and $15 place on Tai Lung #7, Race 3 at Randwick tomorrow?
