Royal Ascot Betting Tips – Day 2
So here we are at Day 2 of the Royal Ascot meeting and please see my video tips below.
RACE 1 It has to be SHAKESPEREAN 9/2 to Win. With a pull in the weights for beating the likes of Kaptain Kirkup and Mon Cadeux last time up the horse looks very well treated and it’s form is rock solid including it’s sixth in last years Racing Post Trophy.
RACE 2 Having looked at the way some of these are improving I will have to side with SHAMWARI LODGE 13/2 Each Way. The horse was a little hit and miss as a three year old but this season has won all three starts in convincing fashion. Sure to have the strong pace which will make the race run to suit and can mow these down late.
RACE 3 Well I must say that with Goldikova winning the Queen Anne yesterday everything in this race points to BYWORD 7/2 to Win. This one was only beaten 1/2 a length by Goldikova last time out so the form is absolutely bang on. I am not going to go for two here but keep an eye on Allybar at 16/1. This one beat Byword last year and has since run a fabulous race in the Dubai World Cup. This one does look overpriced.
RACE 4 And here we have the 30 runner Royal Hunt Cup and I am going for two in the race. I must say I think I may have found a very nice one here and my main selection is NOBLE CITIZEN 40/1 Each Way. This one finished just a length behind today’s favourite Dandy Boy last time out over the course and looks massively overpriced. It is now 3lbs better off with the favourite and I cannot understand why one is 40/1 and the other is 8/1 fav.
My second selection in the race is SMOKEY OAKEY 66/1 Each Way and this one looks like it has been given a nice break to maybe protect it’s handicap mark. Finished 4th in this seasons Lincoln at Donny and runs of the same mark. The only slight concern is the ground as all it’s best runs have come with cut, but the ground is forecast as good so no real excuses.
N.B. PLEASE MAKE SURE TO PLACE YOUR BETS WITH A BOOKMAKER OFFERING 1/4 Odds 1-2-3-4-5
RACE 5 Is the 5 furlong speed test for fillies, The Queen Mary Stakes and of course we have lots of very unexposed horses in this. It is difficult to get a handle on the form as at this time of year with the weather warming up these fillies can improve dramatically from one run to the next. However I am going to go with LADIES ARE FOREVER 16/1 Each Way. I was going through the video form and this one won very easily on it’s first attempt, travelling strongly and quickening really well to win going away by 6 lengths. One to keep an eye on here is first time up Saskias Dream from Jane Chapple-Hyams yard. With her horse Klammer running very well in the Coventry i think she will have a good idea of just how good Saskias Dream is.
RACE 6 Well I think that Mr Stoute has really pulled the wool over the handicappers eyes here. And in this race it has to be the highly progressive SAFINA 5/1 Win to take this. I am surprised at how well handicapped this looks. If you look at it’s form with Music Show which is rated 110 and what that horse has achieved in both the English and Irish 1000 Guineas this looks like it should have a rating of around104 and yet runs off 96. To me this one looks well in.
So that is my race by race selections and now below you will see my Placepot Selections (We were unlucky on Day 1 just going down on the last leg)
Race 1 Number 2
Race 2 Numbers 7, 8
Race 3 Numbers 1, 2
Race 4 Numbers 5,17, 20, 25
Race 5 Numbers 4, 12
Race 6 Number 13

Good luck with Day 2
