DAY FIVE
OUR FINAL DAY OF THIS SEASON'S MEETING AND IT'S BEEN A BIT HIT AND MISS I HOPE YOU HAVE BEEN BACKING RYAN MOORE AS HE SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN UNSTOPPABLE IN MOST EVENTS.
WE GO AGAIN FOR SATURDAY, I USED TO REMEMBER THIS AS ASCOT HEATH DAY AND YOU COULD GET INTO THE COURSE FOR A POUND. ADMITTEDLY THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO BUT IT WAS ALWAYS PACKED AND MEANT REAL RACEGOERS COULD HAVE SOME FUN. ANYWAY THOSE DAYS ARE OVER NOW, LET'S HAVE A LOOK AT THE BIG RACES FOR SATURDAY;
2:30 CHESHAM STAKES 7f 2yo's -- Just the dozen taken the stage for Saturdays' opener and it will be a surprise if the Aiden O'Brien trained BALLYDOYLE cannot make the frame at least for the red hot Ryan Moore.
LOVE THE KITTEN from the USA is probably the big danger.
2:30 Result
1st 6 Suits You (FR) (C Demuro 14/1)
2nd 8 Ballydoyle (IRE) 7/4 f
3rd 5 Sixth Sense (IRE) 12/1
3:05 WOLFERTON HANDICAP 1m 2f -- You really can leave Ryan Moore alone this week and hopefully you are quids in if you been backing him each day. In this 10f contest he's on Sir Michael Stoute's PROVENANCE.
We'll take that one along with COLLABORATION from the Andrew Balding yard and those pair against the field for us.
3:05 Result
1st 4 Mahsoob (P Hannagan 7/4 f)
2nd 15 Sennockian Star 12/1
3rd 1 Fire Fighting (IRE) 16/1
3.40 HARDWICKE STAKES 1m 4f -- Group 2 with just the 7 declared, last years winner TELESCOPE reappears and should be right there, but I fancy a big price and a big run from RED CADEAUX to gatecrash the party one more time.
3:40 Result
1st 6 Snow Sky 12/1
2nd 1 Eagle Top 2/1
4:20 DIAMOND JUBILEE STAKES 6f -- Today's Group 1 and 15 declared for the sprint, no great surprise that Aiden O'Brien's DUE DILLIGENCE has been well supported this week to take this and best grab the price cos it won't last.
We'll have a look at GORDON LORD BYRON at 20/1 too as he usually runs well here and while doesn't appear in form could well surprise.
4:20 Result
1st 13 Undrafted (USA) 14/1
2nd 3 Brazen Beau (AUS) 7/2 j
3rd 2 Astaire (IRE) 25/1
5:00 WOKINGHAM STAKES HANDICAP 6f -- It's just not Ascot without a massive field handicap and today we've the Wokingham and 28 runners.
It seems that the low draw has been favoured during thie week in the sprints, and as such we take two from that side in ZARWAAN and GAMESOME though whatever wins will need some luck in running and there's bound to be a few hard luck stories afterwards.
5:00 Result
1st 13 Interception (IRE) 10/1
2nd 6 Robert Le Diable (FR) 12/1
3rd 3 Lancelot Du Lac (ITY) 25/1
4th 28 Related 50/1
5:35 QUEEN ALEXANDRA STAKES 2m 6f -- We conclude with the longest distance race on the Flat calendar, an event that is often targeted by the National Hunt trainers who are surprisingly absent this time around.
All except the phenomenal Willie Mullins who saddles the unbeaten WICKLOW BRAVE.
5:35 Result
1st 6 Oriental Fox (GER) 4/1
2nd 14 Taws 25/1
3rd 8 Teak (IRE) 10/1
