Hi all,
Today’s selections from Royal Ascot.
Royal Ascot
3:40 – Highfield Princess – 5/1 – Gen – Highfield Princess took her form to a whole new level after finishing 6th in this corresponding race 12 months ago. The three time Group 1 winner has finished runner-up on both this season’s starts including when length runner-up in Tuesday’s King Stand Stakes (5f). A tentative pick in open race.
4:20 – Changingoftheguard – 6/1 @ Paddy Power & Betfair Sportsbook – Changingoftheguard won the Group 2 King Edward VII Stakes over C&D at this meeting last year and looked in the need of the run when laboured on his seasonal return last month. Should be fitter here and could get an uncontested lead today. With Hukum now a non-runner he’s the value play.
6:10 – Dawn Rising – 9/4 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Dawn Rising a useful novice hurdler since returning from a mammoth absence is back on the flat for the first time since finishing runner-up in a Group 3 at Newmarket in July 2020. Capable of more improvement on the level and if he stays, can go close.
Cheers
John
