After a scintillating day 1, what does day two bring?
I'm pleased with my start to the week so hopefully its going to continuing in an upward motion!
Race 1 Jersey Stakes 7f
Now heres a very interesting start to proceedings I've picked a horse with bags of potential (or so it seemed earlier this season), if you use todays form from Ascot an interesting point can be made about my each way steal here STRONG SUIT. Lets forget about its recent form as it hasnt been great but when you look at its form and realise that it was only half a length down on Zoffany in August of last year then we know this horse has undoubtedly class. Zoffany was a closing second on Frankel today, this horse has winning form at Ascot so the course will suit. My only concern is that 7 furlongs may not be its ideal trip but if there's stll a bit of juice in the ground this horse will love that. At around 12/1 thats a nice each way bet. I'm forgetting the jockey though not a big fan of hughes.
Race 2 Windsor Forest Stakes 1m
Tricky, quite a few progressive types here and I'm sticking with SETA, this filly could be the real deal. Luca Cumani the trainer thinks alot about this filly and its easy to see why.I'm having SETA to win, looked impressive at Goodwood over mile in April, Kieran Fallon on board a quality filly we all know how good Fallon can be at his best. My other each way selection which I think has every chance to win is LOLLY FOR DOLLY at around 11/1. This filly tries so hard in all here races and will never give up, has good solid statistics the mile trip, a real trier and one to be on the right side of.
Race 3 3.45 Prince of Wales Stakes 1m 2f
If there was more juice in the ground I'd be all over Planteur like a rash but unless it rains from now until this race I'll be looking elsewhere. Much like Frankel this is so very unoriginal but I cannot for the life of me see any chink in SO YOU THINK'S armoury. This is the horse to beat an absolute revelation in Australia and will be now in the northern hemisphere tomorrow. The consistency, the tenacity, the speed and turn of foot this horse possesses is almost the best I've ever seen (that was Sea the Stars winning the arc in 2009 by the way, closely followed by Zarkava in 2008). This horse wont be off the bridle or if he is its because the jockey wants to win by 10 lengths. I dont think I know this will win!. Ryan Moore on board what MOORE do you want.
Race 4 Royal Hunt Cup 1m straight
I've always wondered what its like to run a mile in a straight line as fast as you can from start to finish because that is just what this race is all about. Consequently this is going to be a mad gallop, lots with chances but only a few with doors to go through. With that in mind I'm going to forget about the draw and pick two horses here with every chance judged on form and form alone. START RIGHT yet again the Cumani and Fallon combo. This horse was so unlucky at Epsom, had to go the long way round and was certainly eating up the ground towards the finish line. If this horse stays out of trouble it will take all the beating, has the classiness to be a step ahead a step right to land this prize. Secondly PROPONENT, I was at Newmarket and had a cheeky each way on this one last time, a horse that will undoubtedly progress for that run, it is safe to say that the stable arent in great form but I'm sure Roger Charlton will have this horse fit and ready, 20/1 at present.
* Please note if Green Destiny runs tomorrow I'll will be backing that horse to win in this race.
And thats all folks, good luck if your going (Thats you Bonesy!)
