Selected odds by:
3lb below his last winning mark (May 2017), and has competed in much stronger races than this in the past, most notably when finishing third of 34 in the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket in September; tongue tie applied after a poor run latest.
Demonstrated a willing attitude when recording a sixth career win on his penultimate start (Windsor 1m2f, good to firm), up 5lb and beaten in a Class 2 handicap latest, but has shown fair form at Nottingham in the past.
Both of his wins have come with cut (1m2f), and he sits 5lb above his last winning mark; kept on to finish third to Light Of Joy at Newcastle (1m2f) on Plate Day latest.
Has a 50% strike-rate on turf (4 from 8), with form figures since June 25th reading 1,2,1,1, so certainly arrives in tip-top condition; carries a 6lb penalty (1lb well in) for last week's comfortable 1m2f Epsom victory.
Still to hit the target, but unexposed after just three starts and makes his handicap debut at a realistic level; son of Sea The Stars (cost 190,000gns as a yearling), and although clearly a slow learner is one to keep on your side.
Forecasts
Red Striker (1/1), Juneau (11/4), Lunar Jet (5/1), Cote d'Azur (10/1), Rotherwick (14/1)
JUNEAU seeks the hat-trick following her comfortable win at Epsom last week, and with ground conditions continuing to ride on the quick side looks well positioned to do so under a 6lb penalty. Her progress over the space of less than four weeks has been remarkable even by her trainers exemplary standards, and she should win again unless an avalanche of market support arrives for the unexposed and eye-catching three-year-old Red Striker.
