Zavateri Favored to Claim Victory in the Greenham Stakes at Newbury

The Weekend Winners panel is back to preview an exciting day of racing at Newbury, highlighted by the Group 3 Greenham Stakes. 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 is a highly intriguing race on paper. The favorite, Zavateri, struggled at Newmarket and will appreciate the return to a straight track. However, it's uncertain if 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 against Zavateri based on his performance in the Dewhurst. He was a huge price that day, which suggests something was amiss. With a lack of pace in the race, he could take an easy lead and dominate.

Another expert agrees, "I'm with Zavateri, who won the National Stakes last season and doesn't have a Group 1 penalty for that win here - a significant advantage. He would need to underperform substantially 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 - who I believe should be a lot shorter than his current price.

Another expert says, "I'm backing Needle Match, who doesn't fit the profile of recent winners. However, his trainer has made comments suggesting he has some promising three-year-olds this season, and this horse could be one of them. Check out the latest horse racing news, interviews, and features from Sky Sports Racing. He won on soft ground at Newbury, but I don't think quicker ground will be an issue based on his pedigree. He needs to take a significant step forward from his previous effort, but he's a decent price to do so. While the favorite has the best form, I want to take him on in his seasonal debut.
