Vadream to win the Champions Sprint
Saturday’s glittering Champions Day card is due to be run on heavy ground and of all the horses set to do battle at the Berkshire venue, VADREAM is one of a handful who will simply relish the conditions, says Andy Holding.
Wildly impressive both visually and on the clock on heavy ground at Doncaster back in April, Charlie Fellows’ mare went on to prove that form was no fluke by capturing the Palace House Stakes over a furlong shorter at Newmarket a month later and if it wasn’t for the rain which fell immediately before the race, she probably would have little chance of success.
Since then, the weather has continued to frustrate connections as each target she has had on her agenda has been scuppered by dry conditions, but their patience looks set to be rewarded in no uncertain terms this weekend. While the likes of Kinross and Shaquille will handle heavy ground well enough, they probably can’t claim they enjoy it.
A creditable sixth in this Group 1 sprint last year when the ground was nowhere near soft enough, the daughter of Brazen Beau put the finishing touches to her repeat bid over today’s course two weeks ago despite the conditions being way too quick.
Now returning to the scene of that fine effort, she has a golden opportunity to capture her biggest prize so far to date with everything in her favour for the Champions Sprint.
12:30 Saturday - Liverpool vs Everton
Dominic Calvert-Lewin to Score Anytime
The start of this weekend's Premier League slate takes place at Anfield. Jimmy the Punt has found his betting angle for the first Merseyside derby of the season.
The hosts are third favourites for the title and look to be mounting a reputable title charge winning seven games on the spin. Form counts for little in a derby, though; everyone knows that which is part of the reason Everton’s player prices appeal.
The Toffees turned a corner against Doncaster in the League Cup, which coincided with the debut of Beto. However, DOMINIC CALVERT-LEWIN is now fit and dislodged the acquisition from Atalanta.
The frontman is averaging 0.86 xG per 90, his highest total since joining Everton, and scored three in three last month. Siding with the man in form at a tasty price (10/3) seems logical.
