Raffle Prize chasing Group One glory in Cheveley Park

Raffle Prize will Need to resume winning ways at the Juddmonte Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket on September 28.

Mark Johnston’s filly has had a year winning the Queen Mary in Royal Ascot and the Duke of Cambridge Stakes at Newmarket.
She shot in the Prix Morny outside on the last time, once beaten a neck by Andre Fabre star Earthlight losing little in defeat.
Johnston explained:”She will await the Cheveley Park today. It was a fantastic run and also that there were no excuses.
“It seemed like she’d much prefer better floor, but that might apply to this winner.
“You would expect she’d get better ground in Newmarket, because there’s not any greater autumn track than Newmarket. Everything is nice with her, touch wood”
Stablemate Communique could return to Germany looking for a first Group One victory – however Johnston is also considering Japan Cup along with the Canadian International having put a line during his last run behind the highly-impressive Ghaiyyath.
“He essentially missed the break drastically with the blindfold still on this that was not him,” stated that the Middleham handler.
“There’s the Grosser Preis Von Baden in two weeks’ period, however could we dare shoot him after two disasters at Germany? I don’t know. I have not really looked at what your alternatives are.
“I’d really like to see him end the year in the Canadian International and Japan Cup, but I’d have liked to be going into these races off a top run. We’ve had two disasters, although I’d like to think he could have won a Group One in Germany.
“You’d think the Canadian International would be a suitable target, but also you wish to be moving into these races on the rear of great runs.”
