Hi all,
Another ‘lucky last’ race as Red Secret, improved for the fitting of the visor to win comfortably at Kempton. The 4-year-old was returned the well backed 7/4 favourite but hopefully you were on the early advised 5/2.
Day 1 of Royal Ascot and its a history making five days. It will be the first Royal Ascot run behind closed doors and there will be no Queen in attendance.
I have two selections from the Royal Meeting and one from the evening card at Windsor.
Royal Ascot
1:50 – Terebellum – 7/2 @ Bet365 is an improving filly who has race fitness on her side having won the Group 2 Dahlia Stakes at Newmarket 10-days ago. Drop back to a mile shouldn’t be a problem as she doesn’t lack pace. Lightly raced, she’s going the right way and should improve further on her Newmarket run. Deserves another chance in Group 1 company.
4:10 –Nazeef – 3/1 @ Bet365 – Improved to win her last three starts in 2019. Showed she had trained on and improved as a 4-year-old when touching off Billesdon Brook in the Snowdrop Stakes 13-days ago. Has 5lb to find with favourite Jubiloso on OR’s but she’s more reliable and looks a good prospect.
Windsor
7:00 – Junius Brutus – 5/1 @ Bet365 – Last win came in his 2-year-old season and the 4-year-old found it a lot tougher last season. His best run of 2019 came here when runner -up over 5f, off 6lb higher. Seemed to bounce back to form when second to Treacherous at Kempton 118-days ago. On a winnable mark for the inform Ralph Beckett yard.
Cheers
John
