On Saturday the racing is at Newmarket, Newcastle, Chester, Windsor, Lingfield(ev) and Wolverhampton(ev). The big race at Newmarket is the Criterion Stakes at 3-35 and Munaddam looks a good thing. At Newcastle the Northumberland Plate is the big one. In 2mile races like this it pays to go with horses that have won over the distance. Several horses come into the reckoning,Greenwich Mean Time,

There are meetings at Newcastle,Newmarket, Chester, Windsor, Lingfield(ev) and Wolverhampton(ev) on Saturday. At Newcastle the big race is the Northumberland Plate. It is always a competitive race and it is always best to go for a horse that has won over the distance so we have GreenwichMean Time, Juniper Girl and Colloquial in with a chance but Gee Dee Nen with a low weight and a jockey in form

The most intriguing race Ascot on Saturday is the Golden Jubilee Stakes which is the British leg of the Global Sprint Challenge to find the best sprinter in the world. Miss Andretti is the favourite for the second time this week. Can he make it two wins in a week? The bookies think so. Amadeus Wolf and Takeover Target are best of the rest. In the Wokingham, Zidane is a clear favourite at around

Royal Ascot starts tomorrow (Tue) and the King,s Stand Stakes provides some intriguing questions.The favourite Miss Andretti is one of three Australian raiders, one of the others, Takeover Target won the race in 2006.

This week-end we reach the high point of the flat season with the Oaks on Friday and the Derby on Saturday.The possibility of softer ground is causing some trainers to rethink before committing their horses. The odds-on favourite Authorized will not be troubled by the going,and his price could be 6-4 or shorter by the off.The second favourite Aqaleem around 7-1 or 8-1 and has done a good final
