start of Newmarket Cambridgeshire meeting

Newmarket´s Cambridgeshire Meeting, one of the best fixtures of the autumn, starts today with 3 days of high class racing on the Rowley course. Today´s card features a Group race and two listed events as well as what is usually highly informative 2yo maiden over a mile at 15.00 CET. 18 have been declared here, and whilke the 6 who have run are nothinhg Special, the 12 debutants include some extremely well-bred newcomers from top stables, including two runners out of Oaks winners -King´s Land (Saeed bin Suroor/ Silvestre de Sousa) and Touch the Sky (Lady Cecil/ Tom Queally). The former is out of German-bred Kazzia, who won the1,000 Guineas and Oaks for Godolphin, while the latter is by Sea the Stars out of Love Divine, already the dam of classic winner and sire Sixties Icon.
It is quite possible that in the long run they will prove much superior to the runners in the main event, the Somerville Tattersall Stakes over 7 furlongs at 16.40. God Willing (Ed Dunlop/ Jamie Spencer) and Silent Bullet (bin Suroor/ de Sousa) are two unbeaten juveniles taking a leap in class and could be anything, but the solid choice here is Cable Bay (Charlie Hills/ Frankie Dettori), who has been running well in top races and was runner-up in a Group Two at Glorious Goodwood.
The fillies listed race over 1 1/2 miles at 16.10 could go to German-bred Phiz (John Gosden/ William Buick), who is out of a Surumu mare and was a good runner-up in the Park Hill at Doncaster a fortnight ago; Court Pastoral (Lady Cecil/ Queally), 4th in a similar race at Chantilly last time, is the obvious danger.
The other listed race is over 2 miles at 17.15 and the field includes some runners from the top staying races. This can also go to the Gosden/ Buick team with Caucus, who is penalised here but has some excellent form to his credit.
