Bets 23/06/2012 - Royal Ascot Day 5

A Tom Pricewise Segal double yesterday kept me from drowning and unsurprisingly with these huge fields and changing ground at Ascot I’m not doing that well. Roughly another £50 down yesterday, but won’t have time to update until tomorrow. Newfangled looked insane yesterday, Gatewood’s form continues to bolster, notes about Stoute over 1m have been scrapped, at hats off to Buick! Today it’s really all about Black Caviar and I’m lucky enough to go and watch her first hand. Let’s hope the rain f’s off.

Ascot 2.30 – Always hard with the newbies, but based on what’s on paper looks like it’s between the top 3. The favourite, Move To Strike 15/8 has won a decent race by 9 lengths, Segal has tipped Tha’ir 7/1 and Hughes has tipped Jalaa 9/2. New Approach looks to make it a hatrick with Tha’ir after babies Dawn Approach and Newfangled won.

Ascot 3.05 – This will be a fantastic race. Aiken is going to be popular with the Gosden/Buick combo. Segal has tipped Dunaden 8/1. Red Cadeaux will surely win a big prize again at some point, but just wonder whether 16f is a better trip. And then there’s Sea Moon as well. Wow.

Ascot 3.45 – BLACK CAVIAR is all set to romp home with Moonlight Cloud and Society Rock following her home.

Ascot 4.25 – Segal has tipped the highly fancied Lightening Cloud 14/1 and Waffle 18/1. Dependant on draw my big bet has to be Mac’s Power. If he is on the right side of things this year then he has a solid chance. And surely Fanshawe has to win something this year?! I’ve back Medicean Man 20/1 Antepost

Ascot 5.00 – Segal has gone for Hammerfest. License to Till 16/1 won me a decent prize before and after Fennell Bay won for Johnston the other day I don’t want to miss out again. That Gatweood form is looking mighty strong. Cambourne will again be popular with the punters with the Buick/Gosden combo.

Ascot 5.35 – Time to kill the bookies with last race of day. Overturn and Simenon forecast.

Ayr 1.55 – Hazelrigg had good C&D form and form behind JnJ.
