Royal Ascot - remainder of Card Friday 23rd June
By SP2A Analysis
2.30-: (majority bookies to 4th place - we'll settle to 4th)
The market suggests that the most likely winners are 9 Matrika and 6 Jabaara and we will place a P/POT only perm on them.
Some shrapnel e/w value may lie with the Fahey pair of PRETTY CRYSTAL who is a scopey type who won nicely at Ripon and FLACCIANELLO whose nice win at Catterick was flagged by Lady Pink Rose who it beat that day and who ran well earlier in the week from the wrong side of the draw. Both look worth a small e/w investment
shrapnel e/w -: 14 Pretty Crystal @ 25/1 + 4 Flaccianello @ 20/1
3.05-: (B365 / sKY / PP/ Fred / Betway enhance to 4th so use if at all possible)
Little Big Bear is odds on here so the next 2 in the market 11 Lezoo and 7 Sakheer will be the P/POT perm horses but with NO singles investment.
A couple catch the eye if you want a small shrapnel e/w investment on this race and they are SWINGALONG who won the Lowther last year for Karl Burke and who has been upped in trip so far this season, a return to Sprint distance and better Going may see a significant return to form at frankly amazing odds currently 66/1
QUEEN ME for Kevin Ryan also had good 6 furlong form as a 2 year old and patently didn't get the trip of 1 mile in the 1000 Guineas, a nice horse who will also enjoy the drop back in trip and this ground. A mention from Sean about the Irish horse OCEAN QUEST too and but for the apparent lack of form for the Charlie Appleby Godolphin horses who seem to be a few % off health wise then Noble Style would have very strong form chances.
shrapnel e/w -: 14 Swingalong @ 66/1 + 13 Queen Me @ 50/1
3.40 - see analysis above
4.20 -:
A race to watch and enjoy and just play the Placepot. If you wanted an e/w (2 places only) poke for a bit of change then MAMMAS GIRL @ 14/1 may give you a sporting chance
5.00 - see analysis above
5.35 -:
Another small field and for the final leg of the Placepot only . Again if you wanted a few bob on one of the outsiders to 2 places then the pick would be DUBAI MILE @ 14/1
