Newbury Race 3 - Dubai Duty Free Mill Reef Stakes (Group 2) (In Honour Of Ian Balding)
ARAPAHO GOLD (1) Rocketed home when winning last time at York and securing a solid record thus far. Has hit top form this campaign with 4 wins from 4 starts. Will be in the finish. NABATI (6) Backing up quickly for this race. Ran 3rd last time at Doncaster and promising career start. Been in the money 4 from 4 attempts this preparation. Appears well in this. JOLIVETTE (8) Did well to place 3rd beaten by 1 1/2L last time at York. Colin Keane and Andrew M Balding & England Balding enjoy a high success rate together. Strong each way hope. ADAAY OF SCARLETT (2) Below par performance when 7th last time at Kempton. Amongst the placegetters frequently this campaign. Looks a great place bet.

Picked up late to win last time at York and setting a high standard from the outset. Flawless this preparation with 4 wins from as many starts. Attracts support.

Odds of $19.00 and didn't threaten when 7th last time at York but has the ideal draw. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Showing consistent performance in races. Will be a difficult test.

Racing on a quick back up. Tidy run when 3rd last time at Doncaster and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Jockey William T Buick adds value. No surprise to see solid support in the betting.

Was $8.00 and gave away some ground when 10th last time at York and competing in a higher grade. Has been a model of consistency since returning from a spell. Too much luck needed to come into contention.

Hit the line well when 3rd beaten by 1 1/2L last time at York. Colin Keane and Andrew M Balding & England Balding are a formidable team. Strong claims in this.
