BET365 make Frank Gray’s Makeit For Waz and even money favourite for this afternoon’s Empress Stakes Final at Towcester.
The litter sister to the brilliant Irish star Vincenzo has 11 wins in her last 12 outings and is the fastest female ever to run the 500m course in her semi final.
Waz is one of three finalists for the trainer whose kennels are not much further from the winning line than the starting traps and she will be joined by kennelmates Makeit Bombay and Makeit Beauty.
The danger though would appear to come from Fabulous Azurra, a litter sister to the reigning English Derby winner Romeo Magico. Zurra is no lightweight herself having won December’s British Bred Derby at Sheffield and the recent BGBF Oaks at Henlow.
However, Eric ‘Blackrose’ Cantillon is sure to fancy his chanes too. Droopys Optimal got to wining two and a half lengths of Waz in the semi finals, and like Azurra, has still not broken at her best.
Forest Roanna has plenty to find on all known form.
Betting 1-1f Makeit For Waz, 9-4 Fabulous Azurra, 6-1 Droopys Optimal, 10-1 Makeit Bopmbay, 14-1 Forest Roanna/Makeit Beauty.
The meeting also features the Alarming Alan Memorial, a 712m one-off worth £1,000 to the winner and sponsored by Jayne Conway (form below).
