Hugo Palmer believes he has Galileo Gold at the peak of his powers for Saturdays mouthwatering Qipco Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot. The 2000 Guineas and St Jamess Palace Stakes winner is due to clash with Ribchester and Awtaad, who have verdicts over him in France and Ireland respectively, as well as one of Aidan OBriens top-class fillies Minding or Alice Springs.Newmarket-based Palmer feels his stable star has excuses for his defeats this season and that the break of two months since his run in the Prix Jacques le Marois will have done him the power of good. His French reverse came just 18 days after a narrow defeat to The Gurkha, who has subsequently been retired.Im really confident hes going to go to Ascot at the peak of his powers, Palmer told the Guardian.Quite simply, we didnt have the time between races to get the work into him to settle him down.He had the luxury of his own private jet to Deauville. Part of me just wonders whether, if wed treated him a bit more normally, the edge might have been taken off him by the journey. He just was too fresh and he over-raced.Hes raced 10 times in his life; the first time he ran, he pulled his chance away and the last time he ran, he pulled his chance away, but every other time hes been perfect. So I hope we can go back to whats happened on the other eight times.Palmer will also be represented by dual Oaks runner-up Architecture in the Qipco Fillies & Mares Stakes and feels she has been underestimated by the bookmakers, who make her a 20-1 chance.She hasnt done a lot wrong all year. There was that glorious moment when we thought wed won the Oaks. And there was a much shorter but equally glorious moment when I thought shed won the Irish Oaks, he said.By the looks of the betting, shes got to take on the filly that beat her both at Lingfield and at the Curragh (Seventh Heaven).But theres no easy Group Ones and the same applies for that horse as it does for mine. Theyve got to bring their A game to win these races and theyre not machines.
