100-1 PLUS BUT WORTH A PLACE
🎩 2.30 Royal Ascot (Albany Stakes) Lennilu was first of seven in her nearside group in the Group-2 Queen Mary and it was no disgrace that she could not cope with the superb True Love.
Now, down a grade to Group 3 in this, Bibi Dahl, who was second to Lennilu at Gulfstream, takes on Signora from the True Love stable.
Breaking next to Signora in stall 11, Indigo Dawn is a daughter of Nando Parrado, winner of the Group-1 Coventry Stakes.
Bibi Dahl (108 win offers) was 19 a place on BETDAQ this morning, Indigo Dawn 16.0 (win 140). Signora the stakes saver at around 2-1.
BATTLE OF CHAMPION JOCKEYS
🎩 3.05 Royal Ascot (Commonwealth Cup) Windsor Castle winner at last year’s royal meeting, Ain’t Nobody’s third in the Trial for this was also at Ascot and also on good to firm ground.
Hampered when losing a three-way photo that day in April with Big Mojo and Diablo Rojo (Arabie 5th). Offered 94 the win but 20.0 a place this morning.
Diablo Rojo had been fourth in the Greenham, five lengths behind Jonquil, ridden by champion-jockey Oisin Murphy.
Murphy switches to American raider Shisospicy, with Christophe Soumillon taking over on Jonquil, who was beaten only a head in the French 2,000 Guineas.
In this battle of champion jockeys, BETDAQ layers offer 6.6 Jonquil, 15.5 Shisospicy.
BUICK ON HAND FOR GAMBLE
🎩 3.40 Royal Ascot (Duke Of Edinburgh Handicap) Flight Leader’s sire, Frankel, galloped them into the ground when the going was on top, and progeny of his dam’s sire, Empire Maker, had a 37% strike rate on firm. Flight Leader 174 offers on BETDAQ. I asked for 20.0 a place.
One unfancied British debut outing since switched to Jamie Osborne from Andre Fabre, and one quiet run at Newmarket for Hand Of God, who landed a gamble at this meeting last year, also with William Buick booked. Betdaq Betting Exchange 8.7
ZARIGANA ON HER A-GAME
🎩 4.20 Royal Ascot (Coronation Stakes) Map Of Stars for French ace trainer Francis-Henri Graffard was not equipped to play catch-up in the Prince Of Wales’s Stakes on Wednesday when the ground turned fast.
Then yesterday Candelari disappointed for their second shot at a Royal Ascot prize, along with the other youngsters not good enough to beat last year’s runner-up, Trawlerman.
That leaves Zarigana of Graffard’s big three this week, not yet tested on firm but by Siyouni, whose progeny have had their best returns on a sound surface.
Her two nearest rivals are jointly unbeaten in five starts, both winners on good to firm but officially 12lb (Kon Tiki) and 7lb (Falakeyah) behind her, with a Listed win each hardly comparing with Zarigana’s three Group strikes.
Yes, she was awarded the French Guineas when Shes Perfect was not so perfect in her run but she had beaten the same filly fair and square in the La Grotte trial, though that one did nothing for the form in the French Oaks last Sunday.
Flight and Chantilly Lace should progress from their Guineas second and fifth but I’ll give Zarigana a chance to prove she is a worthy grand daughter of the magnificent Arc-winning-mare, Zarkava.
ARE CAJOLE PLANS STALLED?
🎩 5.00 Royal Ascot (Sandringham Stakes) Trawlerman, Ombudsman, Field Of Gold. Team Gosden has outrun Ballydoyle so far in the ‘posh’ races at this royal meeting.
Now they have a handicap ‘good thing’ here in Cajole, lifted to this level at Windsor by stablemate Nahraan after their Wolverhampton one-two in a recent race they turned into a private trial. BETDAQ around 40-1 and I asked for 10-1 a place.
One thing may hold back the filly from natural progression to black type in the near future. She is drawn 6.
In the high numbers, Miss Nightfall (4.4 offers) is looking for revenge over Silver Ghost after trouble
OPPORTUNITY FOR REVENGE
🎩 5.35 Royal Ascot (King Edward V11 Stakes) ‘The Ascot Derby’ has been won in the last nine years by Epsom Derby placed pair King Of Steel and Japan, and Classic-trial winners, Alenquer and Permian.
Amiloc won the Goodwood Derby trial (Cocked Hat Stakes) but with Opportunity badly hampered and denied his opportunity! BETDAQ 13.0 this morning.
