Hi all,
Two selections from Royal Ascot today and two from elsewhere.
3:40 – Jash – 5/1 @ Bet365 & William Hill – Was runner-up to favourite Ten Sovereigns in last year’s Middle Park Stakes. He returned to action with a fairly, comfortable win over 7f at Newmarket last month. He was keen that day and that should have taken the freshness out of the colt.
4:20 – Jubiloso – 6/1 @ Ladbrokes & Coral – Trained by Sir Michael Stoute. Unbeaten on both her two starts, the daughter of Shamardal showed a great turn of speed to easily win at Newbury last month. Open to any amount of improvement and she’s very much in the could be anything category.
Newmarket
5:40 – Takumi – 7/2 @ Paddy Power & Betfair Sportsbook – The selection impressed when winning on his handicap debut at Goodwood two starts back and just failed to follow up of 6lb higher at Ripon 33-days ago. The handicapper has nudged the 3-year-old up a further 4lb but he’s remains on the upgrade and go close here.
Godwood
6:55 – Laafy – 4/1 @ William Hill & BetVictor – The 3-year-old who had shaped with promise on both starts as a juvenile last year, made a winning seasonal reappearance at Leicester back in April. He was then made 2/1 favourite to follow up for his handicap debut at York. He ran well again to finish second there. Up 2lb but the he’s lightly raced and is open to a bit more improvement.
Cheers
John
