Prix Maurice de Gheest Betting Tips – Earthlight the Pick of Godolphin Pair

Deauville Betting Tips · Sunday, 09th Aug 2020 - 14:15

Unbeaten Fabre colt primed for Group 1 glory

Earthlight has shaped as though he will appreciate stepping up in trip and looks the clear pick of two Godolphin runners in the Group 1 Prix Maurice de Gheest over an extended 6f at Deauville on Sunday (14:15).

Trained by Andre Fabre, the three-year-old son of Shamardal won three times over the straight course at this venue last season.

Earthlight is unbeaten in six career starts and, on the third of those, won the Prix de Cabourgh by four ready lengths.

He followed-up on that to complete his course hat-trick and land the four timer with a neck success in the Group 1 Prix Morny. The ground came up heavy that day, but Earthlight ran on through the mud and was going away at the finish.

That suggests the extra half-furlong of this is no problem. He also confirmed form with the third home, Golden Horde, when next in action on his British debut in the Middle Park Stakes at Newmarket.

While Golden Horde has since come out and won the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot, the Morny fifth A’Ali scored three Group successes in his next five starts. Even the seventh home, Royal Dornoch, landed the Royal Lodge last autumn.

Earthlight then had a setback, missing the spring Classics. However, he looked as good as ever when drawing 2 1/2 lengths clear for another easy win in a Listed race at this venue on his return to action.

That blew away any cobwebs after 288 days off the track. He should now be primed for Prix Maurice de Gheest glory for his powerful connections.

Four course wins where Earthlight shaped like further should suit mean it’s hard to make a case against him. This demands more, but he has so much going for him.

Golden Horde and Space Blues both dangers

The biggest dangers, according to the betting, are an old rival and an owner companion. Golden Horde has since developed into a Group 1 winner in his own right.

Trained by Clive Cox, this three-year-old Lethal Force colt made 2 1/2 lengths up on Earthlight from theMorny to the Middle Park. However, he was held on both occasions.

Prior to those fine efforts in defeat, Golden Horde was an assertive winner of the Group 2 Richmond Stakes at Glorious Goodwood.

Cox trained him for a tilt at the Commonwealth Cup and he made a winning reappearance in it. Golden Horde ran out a ready 1 1/2 lengths better than any other three-year-old.

When bidding to follow-up in the Group 1 July Cup against his elders, however, he faded at a key point in the Newmarket sprint. Golden Horde was beaten 1 1/2 lengths this time by Oxted, but remains open to progress.

Space Blues come into the Prix Maurice de Gheest in the form of his life, meanwhile. Trained by Charlie Appleby Godolphin’s other entrant has hit a hat-trick this summer.

The four-year-old son of Dubawi placed at this venue in the Group 1 Prix Jean Prat and this race 12 months ago. Space Blues was beaten a length by Advertise in third in a weaker renewal on paper.

However, he has progressed with each outing following a winter in Dubai. Space Blues landed a Listed contest from subsequent winner Safe Voyage at Haydock, then took a Longchamp Group 3 and the Lennox Stakes at Glorious Goodwood.

The only negative is giving 4lb weight for age to the three-year-olds. Space Blues couldn’t win this when race terms favoured him last year, so he can be opposed.

Hello Youmzain a Prix Maurice de Gheest each-way bet

Of the other older horses, Hello Youmzain won’t mind the forecast good to soft ground. Trained by Kevin Ryan whose stable has hit form again, this four-year-old Kodiac colt has also won Group 1 races.

Hello Youmzain won his only previous start in France and five of 10 career outings. After finishing an unlucky third to last year’s Prix Maurice de Gheest winner Advertise at Royal Ascot, he gained compensation.

That came in the Haydock Sprint Cup where Hello Youmzain made all on soft ground. As he kept on well towards the finish, stepping up in trip should suit.

Although heavy going didn’t suit on British Champions Day, he looked as good as ever on reappearance. Hello Youmzain laid his Royal Ascot ghosts to rest by landing the Diamond Jubilee Stakes.

He just held on for a head success over Dream Of Dreams. Although only fifth in the July Cup last time out, Hello Youmzain now meets Golden Horde off 2lb better terms.

There is just 2 1/2 lengths between them on that form, so that isn’t much to find. It gives Hello Youmzain claims of another successful French raid.

He is the each-way suggestion in a Prix Maurice de Gheest renewal where many have claims of hitting the frame.
