Top Betting Offers To Take Advantage Of Today

Much like the Eclipse last week, this is a test of youthful exuberance versus experience, but this time over a mile and on the July course’s undulating straight track.

A total of eight runners have been declared, giving this race a perfect shape for each-way players. Among the runners are several who featured prominently at Royal Ascot, with form lines from both the Coronation Stakes and the Duke of Cambridge Stakes well represented. The former produced a fast-run race, while the latter developed in more measured fashion — both providing strong indicators of today’s field strength.

Cinderella’s Dream, who was second in the Duke of Cambridge despite conceding weight to her rivals, reopposes the winner Crimson Advocate. Their clash will be renewed under different circumstances, though. The July course at Newmarket does not offer the same advantages to closers as Ascot often does. That may affect how the race is run and who it will suit most.

Meanwhile, three-year-old January, who comes here off a solid effort in the Coronation where she made late progress to finish third, spearheads the younger generation. However, outside of her, the rest of the Classic-age contenders are largely unfancied in the market, with Elwateen, Atsila, and Lady Ilze all trading at sizeable prices. While all three bring potential, their chances are perceived as slim compared to the main protagonists.

Yet it is Cinderella’s Dream who looks to have the strongest overall profile coming into this Group 1. She proved herself against many of today’s rivals in the Duke of Cambridge and has course form that aligns well with what will be required today.

Why Cinderella’s Dream is the One to Beat

Having run a mighty race when second in the Duke of Cambridge at Royal Ascot, Cinderella’s Dream brings both current form and tactical versatility to this assignment. Her performance was made all the more impressive by the fact she carried a 3lb penalty in that race, yet still found only one too good. That runner — Crimson Advocate — had a race run perfectly to suit her hold-up style, and yet Cinderella’s Dream still ran her down to within a length.

A switch from Ascot’s round mile to Newmarket’s straight track is significant. The July course typically doesn’t play into the hands of deep closers in the same way, which could well reverse the Ascot result in favour of Appleby’s filly. This will likely allow Cinderella’s Dream, who is more tactically adaptable, to use her stride and power more effectively.

Another key point is the environment itself. The Newmarket yard of Charlie Appleby has long considered the July course their backyard, and this filly is proven over it. Her commanding Dahlia Stakes win over 1,000 Guineas heroine Elmalka earlier this season came on the Rowley Mile, just across the road. That effort was the mark of a Group 1 performer in waiting and suggested she was at ease with the demands of Newmarket’s unique configuration.

While January gets the benefit of the age allowance and is open to more progress, Cinderella’s Dream’s body of work is far stronger at this point. Moreover, the Appleby team are confident she is thriving post-Ascot, and a sharper mile on a straight track plays more to her strengths than the turning layout at Ascot.

All things considered, Cinderella’s Dream is the most complete package in this year’s Falmouth and should prove capable of turning Ascot form around to land her first top-level success.
