Royal Ascot Day 2

A decent start to the Royal meeting yesterday and hopefully it will continue. Today looks tough but there are a couple that I like and heard good things about them yesterday.

Jersey Stakes

2:30

Unfortunately Price wise tipped VALBCHEK so the price has shorten a bit but I still think it is value, especially in the place market. I have backed this one to be placed at 2.74 and to win at 7.40. The stable have won this race twice in the last ten years and the fact that Ryan Moore has chosen to take the ride is a massive positive. He is open to improvement and connections seem very keen on this race, they have had it targeted all season. 

Prince of Wales Stakes

3:45

SO YOU THINK is not a horse I particularly like and took it on a couple of time last season, to make a nice profit. However this looks like a two horse race between him and Carlton House. The Queens horse is still open to improvement and looks better over 10f that 12f. However I’m going with the Aussie due to its last run at Ascot on Champions day. He finished 2^nd to Cirrus Des Aigles which would have been my selection if he hadn’t pulled out of this. That was a very impressive performance and the French horse has gone on to win at Meydan when beating coronation cup winner St. Nicholas Abbey earlier this year. There have been some very positive comments made on his chance here and I am happy to get involved in the win market at 2.08.

I’ve had 1 point on the two Valbchek bets and 3 points on So You Think.

Hopefully we can continue on from yesterday and make a nice profit again.
