14.40 Longchamp: Zurigha @ 33/1 VC - 1pt win
Poor draw for Zurigha in the French 1.000 Guineas which is usually a rough race but I think this is a huge price for a filly that looked really smart on her seasonal reappearance at Kempton a few weeks ago. She quickened nicely in the closing stages in a slowly run race, posting a fast time for the final 3f, to win easily in the end. She hardly came of the bridle and only had to be pushed out to bring a few lengths between her and the rest of the field in a matter of strides. That form isn't worth too much of course, but it confirmed that Zurigha has the potential to be really smart. She's lightly raced as well, today will be only her fourth start, so there is a good chance for further improvement. No doubt she's good enough to win a Group race, whether it's a Group 1 has to be seen. She's surly a brighter prospect than the price suggests today I feel anyway.
