The Ebor Handicap (3.35) at York on
Saturday is as competitive as ever, but Nakeeta has recorded
all her best form on good to soft, or softer, going and looks to have
a sporting chance under highly capable apprentice Callum Rodriguez.
Iain Jardine’s 6-year-old mare remains 14lb higher in the weights
than when winning at Haydock two seasons ago, but she was only beaten
half a length, off a 4lb lower mark, in the valuable November
Handicap, over 1 mile 7 furlongs, at Leopardstown last October and
far from disgraced when fourth, on ground probably a little faster
than ideal, when last seen at Newmarket in June. Over her optimum
trip, with cut in the ground and a decent pace to aim at, she looks
cracking value at 16/1 with Sportingbet, Boylesports or Stan James.
Selection: Nakeeta to win
