GOING: G

THE QUEEN MOTHER MEMORIAL CUP (HANDICAP) 2400m

Track: GOOD      

Moments In Time and Money Catcher should roll forward and dictate. The feature of the day. RUSSIAN EMPEROR (1) is the cream of this crop and can jump to a new level getting up to this track and trip. Any sting out of the ground will suit him perfectly and although he carries the big weight, there's a reason why he does. Expecting a big turn around in form. UNBELIEVABLE (11) sat up on the speed and stayed on well last time out after running on strongly in the Derby two back. He's already placed at this trip in the UK behind a good horse and the drop in weight is ideal. Sure to be fighting out the finish. KA YING GENERATION (9) hasn't been to the races since setting up the strong tempo in the Derby. The was a surprise performance, but he's in the finish if he can do it again. FIVE G PATCH (4) is on the quick back up and has placed at this track and trip previously. Won't be far away.
