The countdown to the 2011 Breeders' Cup is almost over and there is a sensational card for racing fanatics to sink their teeth into Friday.

It looks a fantastic renewal of the race, but STACELITA (7/2, William Hill) can get Breeders’ Cup punters off to a winning start on Friday in the Filly And Mare Turf (22.50 GMT).  

The former French raider joined Chad Brown in the US last year and has revelled in her new surroundings, racking up easy wins in the Beverly D. at Arlington and the Flower Bowl Invitational at Belmont recently.  Both victories have been achieved with consummate ease and both races are recognized as the leading trials for the Filly And Mare Turf. 

Even on her European form behind Midday she would head into this race a leading contender and in the absence of Henry Cecil’s superstar, she sits at the top of the shortlist for Friday’s Grade One.

Her tactical speed and the gears she displays to get herself out of trouble will be a potent weapon at Churchill Downs and the 7/2 on offer looks a fantastic price.  True, she would rather there was be a little bit of give underfoot, but she is America’s leading female turf horse and she will take some catching on home soil.

Roger Varian’s Nahrain and French raider Announce will make life difficult for the selection, but it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Aidan O’Brien’s Misty For Me finish the best of the remainder with the use of lasix, a return to 1m2f and the track at Churchill Downs all in her favour.
