Our tipster marks your card at Del Mar on Saturday night

Harry Wilson returns with his advice for all nine Grade 1s on the final night at the Breeders' Cup at Del Mar on Saturday


7.00 Del Mar
PNC Bank Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint (Grade 1), 7f

Harry's tip: Hope Road

Hope Road won decisively in the Grade 1 Ballerina Stakes at Saratoga last time, taking over in the straight and scoring by two lengths. She has three wins from six starts at Del Mar and could find this run to suit with many of her rivals happiest on the front end.

7.41 Del Mar
Prevagen Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint (Grade 1), 5f

Harry's tip: She's Quality

She's Quality has gone close several times this year, going down by less than half a length in a couple of Group 2s before running well at the top level the last two times. She has lots of speed, likes quick ground and could prove well suited by this test.

8.21 Del Mar
Cygames Breeders' Cup Sprint (Grade 1), 6f

Harry's tip: Lovesick Blues

Lovesick Blues has tackled dirt only once in his last seven starts and it resulted in a Grade 1 victory over this course and distance in July. He prepped for this with a fast-closing second at Santa Anita last time and could prove a touch of value if the leaders go too hard.

9.01 Del Mar
Longines Breeders' Cup Distaff (Grade 1), 1m1f

Harry's tip: Seismic Beauty

Seismic Beauty has looked a class act since stepping up in trip after her five-length Grade 2 success at Santa Anita with victory over quality rival Kopion in the Grade 1 Clement L Hirsch Stakes at this track in August. She stayed on well despite setting a strong pace that day and can dominate from the front again.

9.41 Del Mar
Longines Breeders' Cup Turf (Grade 1), 1m4f

Harry's tip: Rebel's Romance

Rebel's Romance confirmed he retains all of his ability this year, recording RPRs of 120+ on six of his seven starts, and produced his best figure when comfortably landing the Grade 1 Joe Hirsch Turf Classic at Belmont last month. He's tactically versatile and should give a bold bid for a third win in this race.

10.25 Del Mar
Longines Breeders' Cup Classic (Grade 1), 1m2f

Harry's tip: Fierceness

Sierra Leone won this last year and connections have used a pacemaker to try to set the race up for his closing style, but I fancy last year's runner-up Fierceness to reverse form. He was ridden less forcefully than usual after trying to veer out at the start when thumping Journalism in the Grade 1 Pacific Classic over course and distance last time and, if he doesn't get drawn into a pace battle, he could be in the perfect position to strike in the straight.

11.05 Del Mar
Fanduel Breeders' Cup Mile presented by PDJF (Grade 1), 1m

Harry's tip: Notable Speech

Notable Speech has taken a while to hit top gear this season but has been at his best on his last two starts, looking unlucky not to win the Prix Jacques le Marois before comfortably landing the Grade 1 Woodbine Mile last time, showing a tremendous turn of foot. He's peaking at the right time and, although a tendency to hang left cost him when only third last year, that shouldn't be as much of an issue from his inside draw.

11.45 Del Mar
Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile (Grade 1), 1m

Harry's tip: Nysos

Nysos has lost only once in six starts, which came by a neck to Breeders' Cup Classic contender Mindframe on a sloppy track, and has looked imperious on a fast surface otherwise, most recently comfortably giving weight all round in a Grade 2 handicap. He has had a troubled preparation with a bruised foot, but he's been training well and has the ability to overcome his absence.

12.25 Del Mar
Maker's Mark Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf (Grade 1), 1m3f

Harry's tip: Cinderella's Dream

Cinderella's Dream hasn't been at her best on her last two starts, but getting back on quicker ground will suit – has form figures of 1112121 on good to firm or firm – as should stepping back up in trip. She didn't get a clear run and had too much to do when beaten just half a length in this last year and can one better granted more luck.
