Lockinge Stakes - Majestic Roi - 2pts Win - 16-1


I think Majestic Roi is a very fair price at 16-1 for the Lockinge at Newbury today. She is one of only three runners who have Group One form (all of the last five winners has already won at Group One level). Three of the last five winners have been fillies (who have made the most of their 3lb allowance) - Majestic Roi is only one of two fillies in the race today. She won on her reapparance here last year, so clearly handles the track and has previously won over this trip in the Group 1 Sun Chariot.

The reason why she is this price is a disapointing re-appearance in the Dubai Duty Free Classic (her running in that race was not her real form - the trainer thinks the race came to early for her). The other concern is the ground - I'd have preferred it to be slighly firmer for her - all her previous wins have been on good to firm ground and it is only good ground today. I'm having 2pts win at 16-1 at Sportingbet.com
