We will have seen what Frankel had to offer in the 2000 Guineas on Saturday at Newmarket, before the running of the 1000 Guineas on Sunday at Newmarket. This is the fillies only version of the 2000 Guineas and makes up the second horse racing Classic of the season. The featured horse here is Moonlight Cloud who is currently trading at 9/2 with Bet365. The French runner makes for a very strong bet here, and with the French going so well in the race over the past few years, Moonlight Cloud 1000 Guineas betting will stand strong. She looks pretty impressive in full flight and has landed three wins out of four races, most recently on April 11th with a two length win over Helleborine out in France. Very interested by her in this race, and should go well. The conditions under foot are not going to be a concern, but if it is fast ground, then it is unlikely anyone else in the field is going to be able to catch her over the Newmarket course. Would have no hesitation in backing Moonlight Cloud 1000 Guineas betting strongly, but as always, there are always a couple of interesting other punts to weigh up. A feature weekend of Frankel and Moonlight Cloud taking the opening two Classics of the year is really on the cards here.
There is an interesting duo in the chasing pack, Memory (11/2 at Bet365) and Misty for Me (8/1 at SportingBet). At Curragh last August, Misty for Me blitzed Memory, and pushed Laughing Lashes into second place too. Misty for Me then backed that up with a win over Helleborine as well in October, and has not been seen since. For our 1000 Guineas betting, Misty for Me looks extremely good value and could put up a strong challenge. As for Memory, would not fully count her out either, because until that sixth place finish at Curragh, she had won all three of her previous race, so should put in a better showing. Misty For Me’s performances against Laughing Lashes is also something interesting to take into consideration, because they faced each other twice last August at Curragh, with both of them winning a race by a length over the other. That makes Laughing Lashes worth looking at too, along with Hooray, who we will pick out here as our tip. Hooray has landed three wins in her last three races now, and has climbed up a few points in the official rating. Ran a strong race at Newmarket to beat Rimth by four and a half lengths in October, so has history at the course. Currently trading at 9/1 with SportingBet, she is on the bubble a bit, but can certainly on her day should be able to run Moonlight Cloud close, so that makes her our 1000 Guineas betting tip. Looking down the list, the class and odds of Moonlight Cloud 1000 Guineas betting really does stand out. Going off a decent Antepost price at the moment, so would look for a big impression from her on Sunday.
