Stars run likely as Craftsman backed to be Master Visit SkyBet Save For Later Posted by Bettingpro Staff 15 Aug 2009 Tweet Sea The Stars is looking a more likely runner on Tuesday, but the mto come for Mastercraftsman.oney continues (credit: Charlesfred) Related Articles See all Racing news Share it Pin It Sea The Stars' participation at York on Tuesday was further bolstered by a dry couple of nights on the Knavesmire. John Oxx has this week expressed concerns the ground could become too testing for his magnificent dual-Classic winning hero, who is due to line up in Tuesday's Juddmonte International. Reassuringly for connections, the forecast 20 millimetres of rainfall on Friday failed to materialise. Clerk of the course William Derby said: "It's a bright, sunny day on the Knavesmire and the ground is currently good to firm. "The rain stayed to the far north of England and in Scotland. "There are a few showers around over the weekend, but it looks a promising picture.” Punters do not seem to be acknowledging the weather forecast as his main rival, Mastercraftsman, appears to be all the rage with Sky Bet, backed into 13/8 from 2/1 to win the race. Aidan O'Brien's St James' Palace Stakes winner could only finish fifth behind Sea The Stars in the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket, but steps up to ten furlongs for the first time at York, on the back of impressive victories in the Irish 2000 Guineas and St James’ Palace Stakes. Matt Doyle of Sky Bet said: "The going concerns over the favourite could play into the hands of Mastercraftsman, who is proven on any ground and he is the big gamble of the race." Sky Bet have eased Sea The Stars out to 1/2 (from 2/5) in face of the support for his rival.
