Certify 6-1 favourite for Qipco 1,000 Guineas after emphatic success in Shadwell Fillies Mile Certify, who is by Elusive Quality, was four and a half lengths clear of Roz, with a length back to Amazonas in third, with rank outsider Masarah a head away in fourth. The time, 1 min 38.19 secs, was 2.69 secs slower than Racing Post standard. Unbeaten in four races, she is now set to take a well-earned break. There are a lot of good two year-olds who are not good three-year-olds, but I hope she is not one of those. I think she will stay further than a mile, but the 1,000 Guineas will be her first target. Coral, who reacted more dramatically to this victory than any other bookmaker, have priced up Maureen as second favourite, at 16-1, but the quote could be slashed should she land Saturday's Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket. A significant feature late on Friday was that horses were starting to get into the ground, so much so that Saturday's going may favour those who like a bit of cut. For this reason, I select Sendmylovetorose, a cheaply-bought Irish filly, who won the Cherry Hinton and is as gutsy as any of her generation. When she beat Maureen on the July Course she put her head down and kept fighting all the way to the line. The conditions should suit her better than The Gold Cheongsam, the recent Doncaster winner, who is shaping as a very useful filly.
