2024 Rockfel Stakes Betting Odds at Newmarket racecourse

Friday, 27 September 2024

There’s a Group 2 race taking place at Newmarket in the form of the Dubai Rockfel Stakes, with several horses in the field having clocked up a succession of wins. We could see a big field lining up for this seven furlong encounter, with Formal regarded as the most likely winner and he has looked impressive in his last two races.

However, there is plenty to like about Desert Flower and Lake Victoria who have been performing well this season, with both horses having landed a hat-trick of successes. Simmering has also won twice this term, with the Ollie Sangster-trained runner having hit the frame on a regular basis and there could be more from Ballet Slippers.

2024 Dubai Rockfel Stakes Tips

There are some talented fillies lining up in the Dubai Rockfel Stakes, with Formal having clocked up back-to-back wins so far. Sir Michael Stoute trains a two-year-old who began her career with a success at Newbury in late July and then followed this up with a victory at Leicester earlier in September, with that coming on soft ground.

There’s an interesting runner in the form of Desert Flower, with Charlie Appleby saddling a two-year-old who was able to clock up consecutive wins at Newmarket in July and August, with a later victory being achieved at Doncaster. In the Betfred May Hill Stakes, the horse was able to score at even money against eight other runners.

Lake Victoria is one of several Aidan O’Brien-trained runners and there was a success at the Curragh in mid-September when fending off the challenge of four other horses, with this coming after a success at Newmarket in the middle of August. The season began at the end of June where fourteen rivals were fended off at the Curragh.

Simmering has bagged two wins this season from five attempts, with Ollie Sangster training a horse who has been in the places on a regular basis this term. Ballet Slippers also landed a victory in her latest outing and there could be more to come from Tabiti who has posted consecutive wins for Ralph Beckett and could be good each-way value.

Shuwari is clearly the horse with the best credentials when it comes to the Rockfel Stakes, with Ollie Sangster training a runner who has secured back to back victories ahead of this seven furlong encounter. There was a victory in the Fillies’ Novices Stakes at Newbury in June and there was a further win at Sandown on 27 July.

Jockey Oisin Murphy was able to ride the horse to a slender victory on that occasion and the same rider will be on board the charge, with Carla’s Way having claimed a win in the early part of the season. That came at Doncaster in a Maiden Fillies’ Stakes before finishing eighth out of seventeen runners in the Albany Stakes.

In the William Hill Prestige Fillies’ Stakes over seven furlongs on soft ground, the runner was able to finish second to favourite Darnation by two lengths, with the Simon & Ed Crisford-trained charge likely to be trading at a similar price to Ylang Ylang. The two-year-old runs for Aidan O’Brien and underwhelmed at The Curragh last time out.

In the Moyglare Stud Stakes, the filly finished dead last out of seven runners in that Group 1 encounter, although a return to form could be on the cards here. Previously to this, there was a solid performance in the Jockey Club Of Turkey Silver Flash Stakes over seven furlongs, with the mare opening her account with a win at the Curragh.
