Moon up for the Cup
Sarafina heads the market at 5-2 but that seems short enough about a filly that failed to make the anticipated impact in the Prix de l'Arc. Sure, she was beaten little more than six lengths from her wide draw, but she didn't really sparkle as she had done in previous outings and I would again have reservations about backing her at her current price.
In a curious way, Midday has some of the most solid credentials but the 2009 Filly & Mare Turf winner (she was runner-up in the race at this track last year) hasn't been at her very best this year and, on evidence of those runs, there must be some doubt that the return to a mile and a half will be in her favour at this stage of her career.
