1m4f (1m3f211y) King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Qipco Stakes (Group 1) (British Champions Series) (Class 1)(3yo+) I can’t remember a better King George lineup and everyone down to last year’s winner, 8/1 shot Pyledriver, can win this. He’ll put up a bold show but won’t get his optimum conditions and I don’t…
1pt win Grand Alliance @22/1, 16:20 Royal Ascot, Saturday
1m4f (1m3f211y) Hardwicke Stakes (Group 2) (Class 1) (4yo+) The quirky GRAND ALLIANCE has a lot of talent when he puts it all together, and should have won at the Royal meeting last year when hanging badly across the track to gift the race to Changingoftheguard. He then went off…
1pt win Nemonte @25/1, 14:30 Royal Ascot, Saturday
7f Chesham Stakes (Listed Race) (Class 1) (2yo) Another tricky 2yo race but there’s two I like for contrasting reasons. NEMONTE is a maiden winner but won with bundles up his sleeve at Curragh over a stiff 6f. The winning margin disguised his superiority and I love the way he…
1pt win Olivia Maralda @6/1, 15:05 Royal Ascot, Saturday
7f Jersey Stakes (Group 3) (Class 1) (3yo) The Frankie factor probably means that Covey has been overbet here and although he looks like a progressive horse, the form of his recent Haydock success has taken quite a few knocks. The Antartic received a strong form boost with Ocean Quest…
1pt win Khanjar @11/1, 1pt win Kings Lynn @20/1, 17:00 Royal Ascot, Saturday
6f Wokingham Stakes (Heritage Handicap) (Class 2) (3yo+ 0-110) Class and an ability to stay +7 furlongs have tended to produce the winner of the Wokingham in recent years and that’s where we have landed with our selections. There were big things expected of KHANJAR as a three-year-old last season…
1pt win Shaquille @9/1, 1pt win Ocean Quest @20/1, 15:05 Royal Ascot, Friday
6f Commonwealth Cup (Group 1) (British Champions Series) (No Geldings) (Class 1) (3yo) The market is priced up based on last season’s juvenile sprinting form and I’m not so keen on following those horses that have tried their luck in a Guineas contest over a mile this season. Little Big…
1pt win Persian Dreamer @25/1, 14:30 Royal Ascot
6f Albany Stakes (Group 3) (Fillies) (Class 1) (2yo) A really tough race but I’m confident PERSIAN DREAMER is the wrong price at 25/1. She was really impressive in a Newmarket maiden but things didn’t go her way next time at York. We know the ability is there and the step up in…
1pt win Mammas Girl @25/1, 16:20 Royal Ascot, Friday
1m (7f213y) (Rnd) Coronation Stakes (Group 1) (British Champions Series) (Fillies) (Class 1) (3yo) A hot renewal but I’m willing to forgive MAMMAS GIRL her 1,000 Guineas flop on account of the bad ground. She’s a massive price at 25/1 with only six opponents and I suspect the round course…
1pt win Waipiro @10/1, 17:35 Royal Ascot, Thursday
1m2f (1m1f212y) Hampton Court Stakes (Group 3) (Class 1) (3yo) Derby 6th WAIPIRO has looked outstayed over 12f in his last two starts, and the drop to 10f on fast ground at a stiff track like Ascot is right up his street. I think he’s well worth another go at odds of 10/1 in…
1pt win American Rascal @11/2, 14:30 Royal Ascot
5f Norfolk Stakes (Group 2) (Class 1) (2yo) The bet here has to be Wesley Ward’s son of Lady Aurelia, AMERICAN RASCAL, who was uber impressive on his sole start in America. You get the sense this is his big hope for the week and I’m firmly with him ahead of the local…
