4:55am - 2017 GODOLPHIN CROWN | 1300m | Group 3 | i

A big field for the Godolphin Crown, a G3 Set Weights event for the mares, the conditions of the race suiting the classier types. Tempo from SWEET REDEMPTION, DAYSEE DOOM, MATERNAL and BRIGADOON RISE should make sure it's FAIR. On form ratings alone, ARTISTRY, SWEET REDEMPTION and DAYSEE DOOM are the standout chances. ARTISTRY third-up, suited too a GOOD track and perhaps a bit too sharp for the other two in these conditions. KINSHACHI and MATERNAL should be respected for Godolphin, although this would be a new career best if they won. SHILLELAGH could be the surprise back to a drier ground after a nice trial. SLIGHTLY SWEET Blinkers OFF FIRST TIME, MODHA Blinkers AGAIN. [updated 8:22am]
