15:15 RIZEENA WIN 2/1 = LOST (2nd/8)
Like with most Group 1 races there are some very good horses in here, but for me the stand out is RIZEENA mainly because she is the only previous winner at group 1 level. Like the majority i think she can handle the step up to a mile, considering that victory last time out when she came from off the pace to lead staying on very well over 7 furlong so the step up to a mile should suit. That victory last time out at the Curragh came at Group 1 level & added to her previous Group 2 win over 5f from the Royal Ascot meeting so she is no stranger to success at a high level. Last time out she also beat the impressive Charlie Hills trained Kiyoshi who has had a few of today's rivals in behind her in previous races, including today's probable main danger Ihtimal. The ground today looks fine (good, good to firm in places) so there should be no concerns on that front. Godolphins Ihtimal is definitely one of the main dangers here & although this is her first outing at group 1 she showed last time when winning over a mile at doncaster in a group 2 that she is the sort who could cope stepping up in grade however, in my opinion RIZEENA's proven winning form at group 1 make's here the strongest candidate even though this is her first attempt at a mile. I mean in all honesty i could get this wrong but i believe that RIZEENA should be able handle the extra furlong & her strong previous group 1 runs should hold her in good stead & see her right up there at the business end, hopefully James Doyle gets her over the line first, 2/1 looks a very fair price & she looks worth the bet.
