Hi all,
Both Wednesday’s selections ran disappointly. Juan Elcano was to keen during his race and paid for his early exertions late on. While Chief Little Hawk could never get competitive from his low draw in the juvenile race.
It’s day three of Royal Ascot. I have three selections from there.
Royal Ascot
1:50 – Sir Dragonet – 3/1 @Bet365 – Had looked a smart colt in the making when winning the Chester Vase last May. The colt was then sent off the 11/4 favourite for the Derby and given his relative inexperience did well to get as close as he did in 5th. Probably didn’t stay 1m 6f when only 4th in the St Leger. Remains capable of better as 4-year-old and really needs to win this to put his career back on track.
2:25 – Monarch Of Egypt – 5/1 @ Bet365 & Ladbrokes – Was a useful juvenile but didn’t get any sort of run behind a wall of horses when 7th in the Irish 2000 Guineas 6-days ago. Drops in both in class and distance and provided this race doesn’t come to quick after his Guineas run can go close.
3:00 – Modern News – 3/1 @ Bet365 – Modern News won a Newmarket maiden on his racecourse debut 11 days ago. Looked a smart colt that day and is another who should appreciate today’s extra furlong. Hopefully he can follow in the hoof prints of stablemate Pinatubo who won this race 12 months ago.
Cheers
John
