Coral Racing Ambassador, Jim Crowley, previews his two rides at Newmarket on Sunday, including Elwateen in the Group 1 Classic, The 1000 Guineas.

13:45 Newmarket – Falakeyah

Falakeyah won really nicely on her only start as a 2-y-o, pulling well clear of her rivals in a Wolverhampton maiden last November. The form of that win isn’t anything special, but she was in a different league to the rest. I’ve ridden her in work this spring, and she’s definitely a lovely filly, but this is a big step up, so we’ll find out plenty more about her.

She has an entry in the Oaks, this race is over a mile and a quarter, and she does have a lot of speed, so I’ll try to get her settled, and get her to see out this trip, as she’ll need to if she’s going to get the mile and a half of the Oaks. She’ll need to win this if Epsom is a realistic aim, but we like her a lot, and we’ll know plenty more after this race.

15:35 Newmarket – Elwateen

Elwateen is a beautifully bred Shadwell filly, who won her only start last year nicely, under Kevin Stott. She’ll run in the Shadwell silks, but is trained by Saeed bin Suroor, who has won the race three times, most recently with Mawj two years ago.

I haven’t sat on her at home, but she’s working well, and although this is a big step up in class, Saeed knows exactly what it takes to win this, she’s bred to get the mile well, so at a big price, I hope she could have an each-way chance.
