MAMMA MIA, ridden by Phillip Parchment, strides to triumph in the 1000 Guineas for three-year-old native-bred fillies over one mile at Caymanas Park in June.
MAMMA MIA’s 10lb weight swing on MONEY MONSTER might be a death knell for her competitor, the safeguarding champ in Saturday’s King’s Plate at 7 and a half furlongs.
In completing 8 and a quarter lengths 5th, 5 behind third-place MONEY MONSTER, MAMMA MIA was really reduced by Robert Halledeen after attempting to determine the speed at 6 furlongs 2 weeks earlier.
MAMMA MIA was gotten of her convenience zone in the hot six-furlong fight, which fell under in-form RHYTHM BUZZ’s lap early inside the last furlong. Whereas MONEY MONSTER made late headway along the rail from ninth position down the backstretch, MAMMA MIA was pushed into a flat-out sprint by United States of America debutant WALL STREET TRADER and super-fit KP CHOICE.
Returning with 114lb in what ought to be a milder speed, MAMMA MIA is light enough to take a march versus slower competitors. Going 7 furlongs in late February, MAMMA MIA triggered at a quick clip before being revamped by the dead-heat set of ATLANTIC CONVOY and FURTHER AND BEYOND inside the last furlong.
Must quick MAMMA MIA stop working to recreate her middle-distance rate, which likewise saw her leading the Mouttet Mile field into the lane last December, the King’s Plate will end up being a better’s race with the similarity MONEY MONSTER, PROVOCATIVA, SONNY T AND CHIPPY and ALL FOR LOVE likewise having a look-in.
Speed makes the race, which might end up being a lone-speed sanctuary for MAMMA MIA or a cavalry charge of closers.
SONNY T AND CHIPPY returning off a two-month break isn’t weird for a Spencer Chung runner, dismissing any physical fitness issues. The journey is best for the Savoy Stomp-Trinket Box five-year-old whose strong stretch runs will serve him well in case of a speed collapse.
ALL FOR LOVE, reporting on a hat-trick at 114lb, seems enjoying her finest type ever, winning at 6 furlongs 2 weeks earlier. The four-year-old filly was early in the speed for back-to-back triumphes and is not to be undervalued at 7 and a half furlongs in good shape.
