Stardom Glory - Doncaster - 1.50 race odds
Weekend Roar - Doncaster - 4.45 race odds
We kick off the St Leger meeting with a pair of juvenile runners. Stardom Glory is a horse we like a lot, and he handled some ease in the ground at York. I thought he ran very well that day, he probably just got taken on up front too far out. I think this intermediate 6 ½ furlongs trip will be perfect for him, and I hope he can go really well.
This fellow had a choice of options here, either over a mile or seven furlongs, and we’ve gone for the latter. We know he’ll improve for a step up in trip, we knew that going into the race at York last time, over six furlongs, and we could well run him over a mile before the season finishes, but for now seven should suit. He’ll appreciate some ease in the ground, so any further rain should help him also.
