6f Wokingham Stakes (Heritage Handicap) (Class 2) (3yo+ 0-110) The two for me in this are COMPLETELY RANDOM and ZOUM ZOUM. Completely Random continues to be steadily progressive for Harry Charlton and his hold-up style should suit him down to the ground here. I like sprinters by Havana Grey and…
1pt Lazzat @7/1, 1pt Topgear @5/1, 15:40 Royal Ascot, Saturday
6f Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes (Group 1) (Class 1) (4yo+) The Japanese favourite is a warm order but this will be a very different test to what she’s experienced so far. It’s a sprint so we can’t be afraid of one horse. I like LAZZAT a lot as he’s unbeaten at 6f,…
1pt win Marvelman @9/2, 1pt win California Dreamer @8/1, 16:40 Royal Ascot, Saturday
7f Jersey Stakes (Group 3) (Class 1) (3yo) I form of MARVELMAN has a very solid look to it with him finishing just behind Irish 2000 Guineas second Cosmic Year in a 7f Listed race at Newmarket. He had recent winner, Diego Ventura behind and in fourth was La Botte…
1pt win Ghostwriter @8/1, 0.5pts win Space Legend @22/1, 15:05 Royal Ascot, Saturday
1m4f (1m3f211y) Hardwicke Stakes (Group 2) (Class 1) (4yo+) Globetrotter Rebel’s Romance sets the standard here but his very best form is all on flat tracks. He ran an RPR of 117 in last year’s King George and that sort of level makes him beatable here. Al Riffa likes a bit of cut in…
1pt each-way Thesecretadversary @10/1, 14:30 Royal Ascot, Saturday
7f Chesham Stakes (Listed Race) (Class 1) (2yo) Treanmoor is an exciting looking player for Godolphin in the Chesham Stakes and could rout this field after his debut performance. He’s clearly a short but probably fair price here. I’m less keen on the chances of Moments Of Joy who also…
1pt win January @7/1, 1pt win Kon Tiki @10/1, 16:20 Royal Ascot, Friday
1m (7f213y) (Rnd) Coronation Stakes (Group 1) (Fillies) (Class 1) (3yo) Zarigana is a wobbly favourite. She got chinned by a 33/1 shot on Arc day and only landed the French Guineas in the stewards’ room. It looked like a weak French Classic and I’m taking her on at short prices. Falakeyah appeals, but the…
1pt win Regal Ulixes @14/1, 15:35 Royal Ascot, Friday
1m4f (1m3f211y) King Edward VII Stakes (Group 2) (Colts & Geldings) (Class 1) (3yo) Zahraan was brilliant on the eye at Leopardstown and takes a big chunk out the market here, but it was a slowly run race that turned into a sprint and I don’t think he proved he stays 12f. If the…
1pt win Green Sense @9/1, 1pt win Gold Digger @10/1, 14:30 Royal Ascot, Friday
6f Albany Stakes (Group 3) (Fillies) (Class 1) (2yo) No filly on this line-up has as good form early in her career as GREEN SENSE, who beat a bunch of decent colts on debut before bumping into potentially the best filly in the juvenile sprinting division in Lady Iman in…
1pt win Babouche @11/2, 1pt win Jonquil @13/2, 15:05 Royal Ascot, Friday
6f Commonwealth Cup (Group 1) (No Geldings) (Class 1) (3yo) Shadow Of Light put in a storming run in the 2000 Guineas and should have no problem stepping back in trip from a mile to 6f, but he still got going fairly late on at Newmarket and his odds are pretty short for…
1pt win Gunship @7/1, 1pt win Propose @20/1 15:05 Royal Ascot, Thursday
1m4f (1m3f211y) King George V Stakes (Heritage Handicap) (GBBPlus Race) (Class 2) (3yo 0-105) Merchant looks like he could be a very exciting colt for Highclere, but he is an incredibly short-price in what is a very deep handicap. He also has to defy a wide draw in stall 20.…
