Arapaho Gold began the season with an early May win at Thirsk Racecourse and has kicked on since then. On that occasion, there was a five furlong success by two and a half lengths. Then the horse returned to the track in July and scored as the massive odds-on favourite. The performance at Newbury was more eye-catching and the July win came at odds of 4/1.
This six furlong success in a listed race saw the horse nudge out Nabati before the horse headed to York Racecourse to land the spoils in the Gimcrack Stakes. It seems as though the horse adapts well when there’s cut in the ground, with Michael Dods now looking to achieve another Group Two success and this horse looks like banker material.
Jolivette is trained by Andrew Balding and there was a May win at Newmarket before a solid enough effort at Royal Ascot. A ninth-placed effort in a field of twenty-five was commendable in the Albany Stakes, with a really strong display in the Lowther Stakes at York Racecourse. This filly has bold claims from an each-way point-of-view.
Nabati is the other horse trading at single figure betting odds. Charlie Appleby’s horse has secured two wins from four appearances, with an odds-on success at Yarmouth kicking things off. There was only a neck separating Arapaho Gold in that Newbury showdown, with an August win at Newmarket seeing the odds-on favourite triumph. The horse underwhelmed as even money favourite at Doncaster.
