ITV Racing Preview Breeders' Cup Friday - 03/11/23

Mick Appleby's juvenile sprinter has been somewhat of a revelation this season and despite being beaten on his first outing of the campaign, he quickly got back on track when winning a competitive renewal of the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot.

A gutsy victory in dire conditions in the Molecombe Stakes at Glorious Goodwood saw him then go for the Nunthorpe but fail to really test his elders.

Last seen tearing up the Flying Childers Stakes at Doncaster, he's shown his method of racing should suit American tracks and he'll try use his high cruising speed to beat these from the front.

Trained by William Mott Just F Y I has only been seen twice so far in her career but lines up here unbeaten and well worth her spot in the Breeders' Cup.

Narrowly getting up to win on her debut over 6 furlongs on fast Dirt, she was then stepped up to a mile and Grade One company where she duly bolted up at Belmont in impressive style.

A mile looks her bag and she couldn't have scored much more convincingly last time out, can have a say at a big price.

An interesting Justify 2 year old is Buchu, who despite being beaten on her first two outings of the season she's certainly taken a step forward since.

Breaking her maiden over an extended mile on her third attempt in fine style, Buchu was then upped to Grade 2 company at Keeneland where she travelled kindly off the pace to pick up and win comfortably with a fair bit in hand.

She steps up in Grade again but is on an upward curve since finding her feet.

After breaking his maiden by a monster 9 lengths, Brad Cox clearly had a talented one on his hands with Timberlake and immediately dropped him into Grade One company for is next outing.

He went close in top company over 7 furlongs, finding only one rival too good who showed a little more pace. Upped to a mile off the back of that he took apart a Grade One event at Belmont from the back in impressive style.

Rightly sits towards the head of the market and should get another good pace to aim at from the rear.

Although Aidan O'Brien and Ryan Moore have dominated this race over recent years, it might be worth chancing one from the home team this year with Carson's Run looking a shade over priced in the betting currently.

The only American Grade One winner in the field, Carson's Run looks to have been slightly overlooked in the betting at a big looking 14/1 and with his Grade One win produced an easy Black Type winner since he might be worth chancing in this.

Although drawn wide, he represents a bit of class and might just give the two O'Brien market leaders something to think about.
