Breeders’ Cup tips

Gamine looked a monster on her first outings this season and should be hard to beat back at seven furlongs in the opening Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Sprint (5.02).

At bigger odds Peaceful should run a huge race in the Maker’s Mark Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf (6.57) for Aidan O’Brien.
