TIMEFORM RATINGS AND VIEWS FOR OAKS AND CORONATION CUP
SARISKA and Youmzain were both backed at 13-5 on Betfair immediately before the suspension of the Oaks and Coronation Cup ante-markets at 10am this morning, but Timeform reckon the latter has by far the superior form claims.
Sariska is rated 1lb behind 100-30 chance Rainbow View in the Oaks, but Youmzain has 6lb in hand of the Coronation Cup field.
Timeform spokesman, Kieran Packman, commented: “Sariska has plenty to recommend her as a progressive sort with an impressive Musidora win to her name, but Rainbow View clearly wasn’t herself on Guineas day and our view is that she’s worth the benefit of the doubt, given her excellent juvenile form.
That pair are some way clear of the remainder on ratings, with Midday, although respected with course form and proven stamina, having plenty to find on her Lingfield win, which was run in a slow time.As for the Coronation Cup, Youmzain should prove difficult to beat, as for all his strike rate of late doesn’t inspire confidence, he has the stand-out performances on ratings, twice placed in the King George and the Arc as well as his second in this race last year.”
