Newmarket Race 6

Pertemps Network King Charles II Stakes (Listed)

Prize Money: $110,701

Interesting Listed race. CERRO BLANCO (1) made a winning debut seventeen days ago landing a course and distance maiden. Holds a future entry in the G1 St James's Palace Stakes at Royal June during June. Top pick. STELLAR SUNRISE (5) brings more experience having won a pair of nursery events last season at the Goodwood and York summer festivals. Won by 2.5L a 1400m handicap at Newbury a fortnight ago. Ticks plenty of boxes stepping up in grade. ELLUSIVE BUTTERFLY (6) drops in level after a close 2.25L fourth tackling the 1400m G3 Fred Darling Stakes at Newbury. Makes plenty of appeal. Redcar debut winner SABER STRIKE (4) represents a top yard. In the mix.

Racing second-up today. Last run won by 2.5 len at Newbury April 17 over 1400m defeating Colori Forever with 61kg at $8. At only start last preparation sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 7 at Newbury in the G3 Horris Hill Stakes on October 25 over 1400m, slow going 8 len behind Time To Turn with 58kg at $6. Only needs to hold that form to be winning again. Rates highly.
