Listed races at Newmarket

Newmarket stages its final day´s racing of 2008 and the 8-race card includes 3 listed races. The mile race for 2yo fillies at 15.10 CET looks very open, and 5 of the 14 runners are still unbeaten. However the maiden Super Sleuth (Brian Meehan/ Martin Dwyer), who ran well last month in a group race, could outpoint them all, although the Queen´s Enticement (Sir Michael Stoute/ Jimmy Fortune) and Godolphin´s Burgundy Ice (Frankie Dettori) both look dangerous. Godolphin are doubly represented in the other listed races, with Frankie riding Kirklees and Ted Durcan on board With Interest in the 10 furlongs race at 15.45 and Alexandros (Dettori) and Calming Influence (Durcan) their representatives in the mile race that ends the racing season here at 16.55. Bankable (Luca Cumani/ Dane O´Neill) has finised second 5 times running and could finally get his head in front in the last race, but a small each-way interest in course specialist Babodana (Mark Tompkins/ Saleem Golam) could prove lucrative at the likely long odds.
