THE CHEVELEY PARK STAKES OF 2005
Despite Flashy Wings losing her unbeaten record last time out,
she stands out in this 10 horse race.
The race will be run at Newmarket on Thursday, 3.10 SA time.
BEAUTY BRIGHT: The best bred filly in the race-and one of the
best in training. She was well held by Flashy Wings when third
to that filly in the Lowther Stakes (Gp2). She has won one of
three for Ballydoyle. A daughter of Danehill, her dam won the
King George Stakes (Gp3) and is out of an own sister to champion
Chimes of Freedom.
DIZZY DREAMER: Unplaced at her last two starts. She won her
debut well enough but needs to improve drastically on her last
two efforts. Out of a half sister to Vinnie Roe, she is a daughter
of Spinning World.
DONNA BLINI: She has not been seen out since causing an upset
in the Cherry Hinton Stakes (Gp2)-where she beat Fillies Mile
winner Nannina into fifth place. However of the three fillies
who followed her home none have won since. Her trainer, Brian
Meehan, caused a huge upset in this race with Magical Romance
last year and this filly has better form than Magical Romance
did.
A daughter of Bertolini, she has won two of three starts.
FLASHY WINGS: Not disgraced when second in the Watership Down
Stud Sales race. She was touched off by Expensive, giving the
winner four pounds, and was in front too early. Despite this
setback she remains the favourite for next year's 1000 Guineas
but needs to win here retain favouritism.
Flashy Wings looked outstanding when winning both the Queen
Mary and Lowther Stakes. She has won four of five for Mick Channon.
MIXED BLESSING: The most experienced filly in the race. She
impressed when winning the Princess Margaret Stakes (Gp3) over
stakes winner Nidhaal and Nannina. Nannina then beat Mixed Blessing
by just over two lengths, albeit getting five pounds. Mixed
Blessing, a daughter of Lujain, was most disappointing next
time out and needs to improve to feature here. She is from the
family of outstanding broodmare Lorehana.
MODEEROCH: She ran second to Rumplestiltskin, beaten two lengths,
last time out. She won her first two starts, including the Tyros
Stakes. She is by the ill fated Mozart, who is showing great
promise as a stallion, from the family of Ma Biche.
NIDHAAL: Another by a promising first season sire in Observatory.
She has won two of three starts including a Listed race last
time out. Her only defeat came at Newbury when second to Mixed
Blessing. She is from the family of Rabah and Last Tycoon.
RIOTOUS APPLAUSE: Has made just two starts and was impressive
at her last start when winning by five lengths. The second home
was well beaten next time out and the form doesn't look great.
She needs to improve but may have scope. A daughter of Royal
Applause-sire of Expensive- she is out of a half sister to Goldkeeper.
SWEET AFTON: Unplaced at her last start, behind Nidhaal. She
is held on her third place behind Modeeroch. She was second
in a listed behind Strut and fifth behind Mixed Blessing.
WAKE UP MAGGIE: Won the rich Tattersalls Sale Stakes in Ireland
last time out-beating Cool Creek. The latter landed the Mill
Reef Stakes (Gp2) while the third home, Ugo Fire, was second
in the Moyglare Stud Stakes to Rumplestiltskin. Her sole defeat
in three starts came to Godfrey Street-who landed the Flying
Childers Stakes (Gp2).
