Saturday, Newmarket, post time: 15:00, THE TATTERSALLS MIDDLE PARK STAKES-G1, £291,580, 2yo, c, 6fTField: Brussels (GB) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Coppull (GB) (Bated Breath {GB}), First Approach (Ire) (No Nay Never), Five Ways (GB) (Kameko), Havana Hurricane (GB) (Havana Gold {Ire}), Hilitany (GB) (Ubettabelieveit (Ire), Kansas (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), The Publican's Son (Beau Liam), Wise Approach (Ire) Mehmas {Ire}).TDN Analysis: Gstaad's absence has taken something away from this Middle Park, where Godolphin's Morny third Wise Approach sets the standard as he bids to emulate his half-brother Perfect Power who took this in 2021. The Richmond winner Coppull was too free in that Deauville feature, so expect a more measured ride but he has questions to answer now. Still a maiden, The Publican's Son is the second favourite in the betting having finished runner-up on his sole start to Mission Central in the Round Tower but he has improvement to find to trouble the market-leader along with the impressive Windsor novice winner Hilitany and Sirenia scorer Five Ways. [Tom Frary].Saturday, Newmarket, post time: 14:25, THE TATTERSALLS SCEPTRE SESSIONS CHEVELEY PARK STAKES-G1, £275,000, 2yo, f, 6fTField: American Queen (Ire) (Havana Grey {GB}), Anthelia (Ire) (Supremacy {Ire}), Beautify (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Fitzella (GB) (Too Darn Hot {GB}), Golden Palace (GB) (Palace Pier {GB}), Havana Anna (GB) (Havana Grey {GB}), Orion's Belt (Ire) (Starman {GB}), Royal Fixation (GB) (Palace Pier {GB}), True Love (Ire) (No Nay Never).TDN Analysis: Good luck to anybody who can guess who comes out on top from the Lowther winner Royal Fixation, the Queen Mary and Railway winner and Phoenix Stakes runner-up True Love and the Airlie Stud Stakes winner and Moyglare runner-up Beautify. That isn't even accounting for the Lowther runner-up America Queen, who was probably still a work in progress at York, and the Princess Margaret winner Fitzella and even the ultra-game Dick Poole scorer Anthelia whose innate toughness will take her far. In all probability, Beautify will be the one given how she dealt with her genuine top-drawer peers Venetian Sun and Composing last time despite finding Precise too strong. Last year's winner Lake Victoria came from that seven-furlong contest and history could repeat. [Tom Frary].Saturday, Newmarket, post time: 13:50, THE TATTERSALLS ONLINE ROYAL LODGE STAKES-G2, £133,750, 2yo, c/g, 8fTField: Action (Ire) (Frankel {GB}), Ancient Egypt (Ire) (Frankel {GB}), Bow Echo (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), Daytona (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Humidity (GB) (Ulysses {Ire}), Lord Britain (GB) (Universal {Ire}), Pacific Avenue (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), Tailgunner Joe (Knicks Go).TDN Analysis: TDN Rising Star Bow Echo will be a warm order for this Classic pointer, given how he went through the Ascendant at Haydock last time, but there is the small matter of Ballydoyle's Action laying in wait and that half-brother to Lambourn can surely only get better with time and experience. Other TDN Rising Stars are Godolphin's Pacific Avenue, who has something to prove after his Solario fourth and will need his run timed much better here, and Amo's unbeaten Ancient Egypt who gives all the right vibes despite lacking experience. Ballydoyle have won this with second-strings in the past and Daytona can be written off by nobody. [Tom Frary].Saturday, Curragh, post time: 14:35, QATAR RACING & EQUESTRIAN CLUB BERESFORD STAKES-G2, €72,000, 2yo, 8fTField: Al Haarith (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), Geryon (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), Hawk Mountain (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Port Of Spain (Ire) (St Mark's Basilica {Fr}), Shaihaan (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}).TDN Analysis: This is another contest almost dominated by the O'Briens, with the outlier being Geryon who shades favouritism having been second in the Futurity here last month. For those thinking Derby 2026, the performances of Ballydoyle's maiden winners Hawk Mountain and Port Of Spain will come under close scrutiny with the former the first-string having dominated over course and distance last month. [Tom Frary].Sunday, Curragh, post time: 14:37, WELD PARK STAKES-G3, €36,000, 2yo, f, 7fTField: Alibah (Ire) (Galileo Gold {GB}), Amelia Earhart (Ire) (Camelot {GB}), Black Caviar Gold (Ire) (Havana Grey {GB}), Kensington Lane (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}), Magny Cours (Ire) (Awtaad {Ire}), Minerva (Ire) (Frankel {GB}), Pivotal Attack (GB) (Pinatubo {Ire}), Smexy (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}), Zous And Me (Ire) (Zoustar {Aus}).TDN Analysis: She may have been beaten three times so far, but there is a sense that Aidan O'Brien holds Amelia Earhart in high regard and it is worth bearing in mind that she contested the same Doncaster maiden as Whirl had 12 months earlier. She is probably a different proposition to the filly that was beaten so comprehensively on her second start by Pivotal Attack at Galway and that rival re-opposes on the back of a sixth in the Moyglare, the form of which will be tested on more than one occasion this weekend. Black Caviar Gold comes into this on the back of her dominant maiden win at Cork, as does the impressive Gowran Park winner Kensington Lane. [Tom Frary].Sunday, Curragh, post time: 15:12, TOTE GUARANTEE, NEVER BEATEN BY SP RENAISSANCE STAKES-G3, €36,000, 3yo/up, 6fTField: Art Power (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}), Big Gossey (Ire) (Gutaifan {Ire}), King Cuan (GB) (Tasleet {GB}), My Mate Alfie (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}), Spycatcher (Ire) (Vadamos {Fr}), Bounty (Ire) (No Nay Never), Crestofdistinction (GB) (Kodiac {GB}), Ides Of March (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Queen Of Mougins (Ire) (Ten Sovereigns {Ire}), Vespertilio (Fr) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), Fregada (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}).TDN Analysis: Some stalwarts gather here such as My Mate Alfie, Art Power and Spycatcher and with the way that the current campaign has gone for Ides Of March it will probably come down to one of the older brigade. Vespertilio is one from six at the trip, but her latest second in the Ballyogan puts her right in the mix and there is nothing progressive to deal with this time. [Tom Frary].Sunday, Cologne, Germany, post time: 16:00, MEHL-MULHENS-STIFTUNG – 63RD PREIS VON EUROPA-G1, €155,000, 3yo/up, 12fTField: Alleno (Ire) (Nathaniel {Ire}), Columbus (Ger) (Oasis Dream {GB}), Sibayan (Fr) (Blame, Egina (Ger) (Soldier Hollow {GB}), Tiffany (Ire) (Farhh {GB}), Path Of Soldier (Ger) (Soldier Hollow {GB}), Think Giant (GB) (Lope De Vega {Ire}).TDN Analysis: Sir Mark Prescott has won this with contest Albanova in 2004 and Alpinista in 2021 and sends forth last November's G1 Grosser Preis von Bayern runner-up Tiffany, who will head postward for her first start since. Her chief threats are dual Group 2 winner Sibayan, G1 Deutsches Derby fourth Path Of Soldier and G1 Grosser Preis von Bayern fourth Alleno. Of the remainder, Gestut Park Wiedingen's ultra consistent G2 Badener Stutenpreis victrix Egina makes most appeal in a competitive renewal, with her trainer Peter Schiergen seeking a sixth edition of Cologne's annual highlight. [Sean Cronin].Sunday, Cologne, Germany, post time: 15:20, DINGER'S GARTENCENTER KOLN – SPRINT TROPHY-G3, €55,000, 3yo/up, 7fTField: Breizh Sky (Fr) (Pedro The Great), Schutzenzauber (Ger) (Amaron {GB}), Espero (Ger) (Territories {Ire}), Shootout (Ire) (Areion {GB}), Vafortino (Ire) (New Bay {GB}), Dhitjari (GB) (Mehmas {Ire}), Duty First (GB) (Showcasing {GB}), Quebec (Ger) (Sea The Moon {Ger}).TDN Analysis: Breizh Sky has annexed two black-type contests this term, outpointing Shootout by a head at Cologne in June, and is taken to confirm form in this return to pattern-race company. However, he may have to give way to G1 Irish 1000 Guineas fourth Duty First, who seeks redemption having failed to beat a single rival in Royal Ascot's G1 Coronation Stakes and Newbury's G2 Hungerford Stakes in her two subsequent starts. Fellow British raider Vafortino, unplaced in last term's G1 British Champions Sprint, has run fifth in two handicaps this term and is better judged on a runner-up finish in last year's G2 City Of York Stakes. This month's G2 Oettingen-Rennen third Quebec heads the home defence. [Sean Cronin].Sunday, Cologne, Germany, post time: 14:15, OERTEL & PRUMM TEAM UNTER SPANNUNG – WINTERKONIGIN TRIAL-Listed, €25,000, 2yo, f, 7 1/2fTField: Alsterperle (Ger) (Reliable Man {GB}), Believe in Me (Ger) (Intello {Ger}), Daiana (GB) (Zelzal {Fr}), Dirty Deeds (Ger) (Alson {Ger}), Madame Magic (Fr) (Saxon Warrior {Jpn}), Miss Talvard (Fr) (The Grey Gatsby {Ire}), Taromina (Ire) (Ardad {Ire}).TDN Analysis: This trial for next month's G3 Preis der Winterkonigin includes just two nominees, Alsterperle and Madame Magic, with entries for the main event itself. Both have yet to shed maiden status, while Believe In Me, Swiss raider Miss Talvard and Dirty Deeds already have wins in the bag, with the latter defeating Taromina by a head when the pair met at Magdeburg two weeks ago. Peter Schiergen trainee Daiana is highly tried on debut. [Sean Cronin].Sunday, Nakayama, post time: 15:40, SPRINTERS STAKES-G1, ¥328,800,0000, 3yo/up, 1200mTField: Puro Magic (Jpn) (Asia Express), Yoshino Easter (Jpn) (Rulership {Jpn}), Danon McKinley (Jpn) (Maurice {Jpn}), Mama Cocha (Jpn) (Kurofune), Kangchenjunga (Jpn) (Big Arthur {Jpn}), Namura Clair (Jpn) (Mikki Isle {Jpn}), Satono Reve (Jpn) (Lord Kanaloa {Jpn}), Pair Pollux (Jpn) (Kinshasa No Kiseki {Aus}), Drop Of Light (Jpn) (Tosen Ra {Jpn}), Lucky Sweynesse (NZ) (Sweynesse {Aus}), Toshin Macau (Jpn) (Big Arthur {Jpn}), Yamanin Al Rihla (Jpn) (Isla Bonita {Jpn}), June Blaire (American Pharoah), Ka Pilina (Jpn) (Dunkirk), Lugal (Jpn) (Duramente {Jpn}), Win Carnelian (Jpn) (Screen Hero {Jpn}).TDN Analysis: With the 2023 and 2024 winners in here in the form of Mama Cocha and Lugal, Satono Reve faces a stiff task in his first run back from an admirable second in the G1 Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes. Plenty of Group 1 horses are on hand to complicate matters, and former Hong Kong champion Lucky Sweynesse enters on the back of a second in Class 1 company earlier this month.Click here for the complete fields.The post Black-Type Analysis: Re-routed Wise Approach Aims To Emulate Half-Brother Perfect Power In The Middle Park appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
