Nick Godfrey brings news from Australia:

WE MEET UP AGAIN WITH CARLTON HOUSE

Can Carlton House win the Queen Elizabeth Stakes on Saturday in Australia  for 

Our Queen at  Royal Randwick Racecourse? 
“Duke at Royal Randwick on Saturday? “ONWARDS and upwards, and there are realistic hopes the Duke of Cambridge may be inclined to drop in at Randwick for day two of the Championships on his royal tour. 
 
“In a sense he’s been there already, as the prince’s disembodied  head was beamed  around big screens on Saturday when he officially named the new state-of-the-art, grandstand, which is called the Queen Elizabeth 11 Stand.
“Royalty remains important here. After all, the track’s official title is Royal Randwick, granted dispensation in 1992, while Saturday’s showpiece is the Queen Elizabeth Stakes, Originally named the Queen’s Plate in 1851 in honour of Queen Victoria and renamed following a 1954 royal visit to Australia.
“Worth A$500,000 (£280,000)  in 2013, this race is now the centrepiece of the Championships and worth a massive A$4m (about £2.22m.)  And the favourite? Or old friend Carlton House, who carries Her Majstesty’s colours into third in the British 2011 Derby and is still carrying the Queen’s silks now, trained by Gai Waterhouse. No wonder they are hoping William might show up: he probably couldn’t miss it even if he wanted to. His grandmother might not be amused.
“Offer you can’t refuse
“GAI WATERHOUSE , meanwhile, was unusually  quiet during the four championship races on day one. It might not be the case on day two after The Offer advertised his claims with an emotional Group 2 victory under Tommy Berry , who was riding his first winner since the tragic death of twin brother Nathan owing to a rare syndrome  related to epilepsy.
“The five-year-old won the Naas October Handicap in 2012 for Aiden O’Brien, back in the days when the horse was known simply As Offer.

 
“If we get conditions like today and it really is a heavy track, these European horses have such an advantage, “ said Australian racing’s leading lady, adding: “Just back him – he’ll bolt in. “ Don’t say you weren't  warned. Read Nicholas Godfrey’s Sydney blog at racingpost.com

Sydney Cup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sydney Cup is an Australian Turf Club Group 1 horse race, held for Thoroughbred horses and run over 3200 metres. It is run every year at Randwick  ...



YESTERDAY’S FEATURE RACE NEWMARKET CLASSIC TRIAL 4.05 FOR 3 YEAR OLD FILLIES
Did you notice in your Racing Post yesterday any clues on this race?

Front page news:

“IT’S A CRACKING START TO THE CRAVEN MEETING. “


A BIG GWYN FOR FRANKIE ? 
Dettori hoping Sandiva can show Guineas spark in Nell Gwyn on day one at Newmarket.

Yes, yes, yes Frankie scored with Sandiva for Team (Richard) Fahey 7-2

Jon Lees gave his ‘ Preview’ of  this race on page 2
(Jon taking a much closer look at this race.)



THIS RACE A TEST FOR LIKELY CLASSIC FILLIES

Did you notice in yesterday's (RP) what Jon Lees had to say on page two ?

 

“ Stage is set for big clashes to come with plenty still to play for.

 “Don’t conclude you’re Classic calculations until you’ve watched
 the Craven meeting."  Jon Lees Warns. ...

“IN THE aftermath of Kingman’s (colt) outstanding victory in the Greenham Stakes some have assumed the outcome of the Qipco 2,000 Guineas is now a foregone conclusion.
 

“That would render the race after which Newmarket’s season-opening- two-day fixture is titled a somewhat meaningless event that would serve only to determine the identities and order of the horses who will finish behind the Classic favourite on May 3. 

"Whatever the betting market suggests, there is still plenty to play for. " 
 3 YEAR OLD COLTS CLASSIC 2.000 GUINEAS
 3 YEAR OLD FILLIES  CLASSIC 1.000 GUINEAS

“Sandiva  disappointing on final start last season, when 1m in soft might have been too much; bright start to 2 year old career previously, when making it three wins from first four starts, with Group 3 success at Deauville (7f good) in August, and this 1,000 Guineas entry has leading form claims if picking up the thread and refinding that smart form. RP Rating 122
