SUNDAY, 21 APRIL 2019 TOO DARN HOT WILL PRETTY POLLYANNA STILL UNDER GUINEAS CONSIDERATION MISS GUINEAS Group 1 winner Pretty Pollyanna (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}), who won the G1 Darley Prix Morny in August, is still under consideration for the May 5 G1 QIPCO 1000 Guineas at Newmarket trainer Michael Bell told Racing Post on Saturday. Racing in the colours of Bill and Tim Gredley, the bay was originally aimed at the G3 Nell Gwyn S. which went the way of Qabala (Scat Daddy) at HQ on Apr. 16. Also successful in the G2 Duchess of Cambridge S. last July, Pretty Pollyanna=s connections are considering turning the filly back in trip and pointing toward the G1 Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot in June. She was last seen running third to Iridessa (Ire) (Ruler of the World {Ire}) in the G1 Fillies= Mile at Newmarket on Oct. 12. AThere's no definite decision, but the Guineas is still very much on the table," said Bell to Racing Post. "The filly looks well and we just need to get through another couple of tests. She's not a Too Darn Hot winning the Dewhurst | Racingfotos.com confirmed runner, but at this stage it's on the table and I'd say intended." Undefeated G1SW Too Darn Hot (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) has been ruled out of an intended start in the May 4 G1 QIPCO 2000 Guineas at Newmarket by trainer John Gosden, Racing Post reported Sunday afternoon. Previously pointed at the G3 Greenham S. won by Mohaather (GB) (Showcasing {GB}), the G1 Darley Dewhurst S. hero and English highweighted juvenile colt missed an intended start in that Classic pointer due to heat in a splint bone. The Lord Lloyd-Webber colourbearer previously scored in a Sandown maiden in August, the G3 Solario S., and the G2 Champagne S. prior to his Group 1 win. AAlthough he's shown great improvement in the last nine days, Too Darn Hot will not be ready in time to run in the 2000 Guineas,@ Gosden said of the >TDN Rising Star= to Racing Post. "It's unfortunate but it's only two weeks away and that does not allow us sufficient time to get the required work into him. Pretty Pollyanna | Scoop Dyga Consequently he'll miss Newmarket. The two races we have in mind now are both next month, the [May 16] G2 Dante S. at York and the [May 25] G1 Irish 2000 Guineas at The Curragh."
