Newmarket Racecourse host the Guineas Festival this weekend and the second classic of the season on Sunday is the highlight, the 1000 Guineas.

Unlike the 2000 Guineas, this is just for three-year-old fillies - previously won by Cachet, Mother Earth, Love, and Hermosa.

Tahiyra is the favourite, trained by D K Weld ahead of the very successful colours of owner Michael Tabor & Derrick Smith & Mr John Magnier & Westerberg.

The owners and trainer Aidan O'Brien won with Love and Hermosa in 2020 and 2019 respectively, as well as 2015 with Legatissimo.

1000 Guineas tips

Mammas Girl 6/1

Mammas Girl is another Amo Racing-owned horse that has bags of potential.

She's by Havana Grey who has had some huge success with his progeny recently and with just two runs to her name she's still dangerously unexposed.

Her second run came just last month when beating Fairy Cross by nearly three lengths in impressive style.

That was the ideal preparation race and last year's winner of the 1000 Guineas, Cachet, also utilised the Nell Gwyn Stakes as a preparation race.

Mawj & Lezoo 16/1

Cachet won last year at an SP price of 16/1 under James Doyle for Highclere Thoroughbred Racing and despite top-class form was somewhat overlooked coupled with a perfect ride and passage through to win by a neck.

The level of horses entering into this though, they all have superior form up until the bigger prices of 33/1 and over where there are the odd blip.

Especially in comparison to the otherwise perfect form of the front-runners.

But it's rare to see the out and out favourite win this race, only Minding at 11/10 has won at a short price over the past 14 renewals.

Siding with one or two at the bigger price can still yield a great profit or return on investment and Lezoo and Mawj could be the ideal candidates.

Both comes from top yards, ridden by top jockeys and have great recent form.

Mawj took a huge step forward at Meydan and beat Fairy Cross by over eight lengths in February and could continue to improve.

Lezoo has both been beaten by Mawj and won over the Godolphin horse previously and also boasts a record of 11211.

Including a win over Meditate, the second favourite, in September's Juddmonte Cheveley Park Stakes.

Crucially, Oisin Murphy is set to ride Mawj and has the ability to perfectly deploy the Godolphin horse.

The same can be said for Frankie Dettori on Lezoo, who has ridden the Beckett-trained horse three times already.
