Hi all,
Today’s selections are from Royal Ascot.
Royal Ascot
2:30 – Pillow Talk – 15/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Pillow Talk won the Listed Marygate Stakes at York last month. The only filly in the field. Her connections won the Queen Mary yesterday and seem to have a strong hand of useful speedy juvenile fillies. She’s capable of better on just her third career start and should go well. Albeit Jockey Danny Tudhope seems to prefer Thunder Moor.
3:40 – Sea Silk Road – 2/1 – Gen – Is going the right way and there was plenty to like about her recent Listed success at Goodwood (soft). Looks the sort to better with racing and the daughter of Sea The Stars shouldn’t have any problem with today’s much quicker ground.
5:35 – Claymore – 15/2 @ Coral & Paddy Power – Reach For The Moon is likely to go off a hot favourite to give HM The Queen a winner. The colt has yet to race beyond a mile but on pedigree should stay and improve for the step up in distance. The selection is another who can improve for the step up to 1m 2f. A winner of his sole juvenile start. His run in the French 2,000 Guineas last time is best ignored, did too much to early out wide and he’s better judged on his 3 ½ length 2nd of 6 to Native Trail in the Craven Stakes on his seasonal return.
Cheers
John
