Zavateri Expected to Shine in Greenham Stakes at Newbury

The Weekend Winners team is back to preview a thrilling day of racing at Newbury, with the Group 3 Greenham Stakes taking center stage. Eight horses are set to compete in the seven-furlong event, with Zavateri, trained by Eve Johnson Houghton, and Aidan O'Brien's Albert Einstein currently leading the pack. Also in the running are Title Role, Alparslan, Gonna Fly, and Needle Match. According to one expert, "This race is fascinating on paper. The favorite, Zavateri, struggled at Newmarket and will appreciate the return to a straight track. However, it's uncertain whether he will continue to improve, given his size and pedigree. I'm going to take a chance against him. I'm backing Alparslan, who has some ground to make up with Zavateri based on their previous meeting in the Dewhurst. He drifted to a large price that day, which suggests something may have been amiss. With a lack of pace in this race, he could take an easy lead and dominate.

He would need to underperform significantly to be beaten today. There are many question marks surrounding other runners, such as Albert Einstein and Title Role, so I'm sticking with the class angle. I think Zavateri should be a lot shorter than his current price. Today on Sky Sports Racing, Zavateri and Albert Einstein clash in the Greenham Stakes at Newbury.

He needs to take a huge step forward from his previous effort, but he's a decent price to do so. I want to take on the favorite in his seasonal debut.
