Nassau Stakes Odds

The Nassau Stakes Odds changed pretty quickly when it was confirmed that race favourite, the Sir Michael Stoute trained, Promising Lead was withdrawn form the Fillies Group One at Glorious Goodwood this Saturday. According to the stable, the Pretty Polly winner has tweaked a knee and will now go straight for the Yorkshire Oaks. The new favourite is Jim Bolger's, Lush Lashes who is quoted at 9/4 but there is no guarantee that she will run. Meanwhile having secured his 16th Group One race of the season at the meeting with Henrythenavigator, top Irish Trainer, Aiden O'Brien will take on the Nassau field with his Irish 1,000 Guineas winner Halfway To Heaven. She heads what might be a quintet of O'Brien-trained fillies and mares, but she is the likely ride of retained jockey, Johnny Murtagh The £200,000 Group One race is run over 10 furlongs at the often tricky Glorious Goodwood course. Halfway to Heaven is quoted at a best price of 5/1 and with the O'Brien domination of Group One's who could possibly dare to oppose her. At odds of 5/1 they shouldn't.; she is a very very good bet. The others in the O'Briens quintet are, Ice Queen, 10/1, Mystical Lady, 100/1, Psalm, 33/1 and Kitty Matcham, 50/1.

Henry Cecil who had a terrific win last week with the one time Derby favourite, Twice Over will be running Passage of Time, she like Twice Over seems to be back to her best and is an obvious threat. Sir Michael still has Heaven Sent in the race; she was third in the Falmouth Stakes at Royal Ascot and is working very well at home. The Godolphin trainer Saeed bin Suroor is likely to run Folk Opera with Frankie Dettori on board.
