Forecasts
Linguistic (9/4), Fire Fighting (7/2), Absolute Blast (4/1), Viren's Army (4/1), Sovereign Debt (6/1), Very Dashing (8/1), Quarterback (16/1), Poeta Diletto (16/1)
A fascinating Magnolia Stakes with an international flavour, with former Norwegian raider Quarterback, and ex Italian racer Poeta Diletto now both based on these shores and clashing with 2016 Dee Stakes winner Viren's Army who has spent the winter in Dubai. It will be fascinating to chart the progress of Linguistic this year, as he was basically a bit of a disappointment after winning a valuable sales race at Newmarket in April 2016, but this trip looks ideal for his AW debut. Absolute Blast is a fraction quirky, but remains very progressive and posted an excellent effort on her debut for Archie Watson in the Group 3 Winter Derby at Lingfield in February, but FIRE FIGHTING is the selection, in the expectation that he'll get this whole field out of their comfort zone from the front end, and battle on in a determined manner with a recent Dundalk pipe-opener safely in the bank.
