Run Julie Run favoured to dominate Chairman’s Plate
A talented field of 12 runners is set to contest the third staging of the $3-million Chairman’s Plate, with this year’s 1000 Guineas winner, Run Julie Run, installed as the overwhelming favourite.
Below is an analysis of each runner and their chances of winning:
1. RUN JULIE RUN: (3 gr f by Successful Native – Runaway Julie) – The horse to beat. Run Julie Run just failed by a ½ to catch Atomica in the recent Jamaica Cup. She has little to fear from these and should be an easy winner. ODDS: 3-5.
2. GRECIAN LIGHT: (3 b f by Girvin – Mo Zin) – Capable on her day but faces a tough task beating the favourite. Note: Visor off. ODDS: 5-1.
3. SPER ALEX: (4 ch c by Admiral Alex – Jamaican Pharoah) – Unlikely to make an impact. ODDS: 99-1.
4. IMPRESSIVE FORCE (USA) (3 b c by Klimt – Onebadkitty) – Talented foreigner who should appreciate the extended trip. Could chase home the favourite. ODDS: 5-2.
5. EAZY PEAZY: (4 b c by Casual Trick – Baby P) – Can be safely bypassed. ODDS: 99-1.
6. MR SENATOR: (4 rn c by Natural Selection – Khadiliah) – Outclassed in this company. ODDS: 80-1.
7. POSITIVE ID : (6 b h by Bern Identity – Bubble Gal Bubble) – No form to recommend. ODDS: 90-1.
8. SHE’S A GODGIFT (USA): (3 b f by Wildcat Red – Ghostly Direction) – Capable foreigner who may find the distance too taxing. Note: Visor off. ODDS: 15-1.
9. MONEY MISER: (4 ch c by Soul Warrior – She’s Traditional) – Consistent sort who always gives his best. Training well and should run accordingly. ODDS: 6-1.
10. ABILITY: (4 b c by Lion Tamer – Disability Charm) – Last year’s Jamaica Derby winner with three wins from eight starts this season. Capable of impacting the outcome. ODDS: 3-1.
11. FREEDOM STREET: (5 b g by Uncaptured – Nofashinsense) – Unlikely to trouble the main principals. ODDS: 50-1.
12. BLUE VINYL: (5 ch h by Bern Identity – Blufield) – Fitness in question, but capable of making an impact. ODDS: 7-2.
