Bets 17/06/2020 - Royal Ascot Day 2

11am update - All done. Good luck folks

Ascot 1.15 - Ouzo has the draw. Should have won last race but now goes off same mark. Clearly race fit for that run. Moore onboard so obvious why the fave.

If Maydanny was drawn on the other side would be all over it as looks chucked in. Interesting the other MJ nag, Asdaa, is a NR. Given the form worked out massively yesterday a shame not to watch it run. Will be either the draw so saving for another day or perhaps they really fancy Maydanny.

Red Bond may well make all and not be caught. Darrik form is strong as Vitralite keeps it there depeite Darrik flop yesterday I assume because of turf like I was worried about.

1st - Ouzo - 6/1
2nd - Red Bond 22/1 ew

Ascot 1.50 - No bet

Ascot 2.25 - This is a risk, but given Bright Melody was close enough to Piledriver who won yesterday could be really well handicapped. The risk is the inexperience and fact not run on turf, but at 8/1 willing to take the punt. Had a very slow start, looked green, came wide, but once got the hang of it started to pick up very well. Kipps is 5lb ahead of mark

1st - Bright Melody - 8/1
2nd - Kipps 4/1

Ascot 3.00 - Addeybb will surely need it softer than it will be which leaves Japan 6lb clear of anything else. Romped the King Edward Stakes over 12f, but then won the Juddmonte over 10f so distance not a challenge. Only 4years old so will no doubt have improved and AOB only chucks one dart so confidence must be high.

1st - Japan 6/5
2nd Addeyb 4/1

Ascot 3.35 - Landed this with Afaak last year and reckon he can again. Effectively the same mark with the 3lb claim. Drawn well.  Won this last year when first run of season as well so goes well fresh. Dark Vision was my cliff horse last year so have to have a small saver

1st - Afaak 12/1 ew (7 places with Skybet)
2nd - Dark Vision 10/1


Ascot 4.10 - Sticking with high draw but not finding too much. Wesley Ward says Sheriff Bianco wil be twice as good on turf which sounds like subtle bullishness. Watching the race looks the better of the runners too.

Sheriff Bianco 7/1 ew

Ascot 4.40 - Ranch Hand if improved over break has a strong hand, but perhaps conditions and track were perfect at Haydock when won so well. Has been really well backed in the market as well. Fujairia Prince wasn't unlucky not to win the DUke of Edinburgh last year, but likley step up will suit but you'd have to take a punt on that. I have four on the shortlist still. Collide was tanking through the race where it beat Land of Oz who marginally franked the form with effort yesterday but now has a 5lb penalty. Selino totally romped a field last time out so could be anything of this mark. If Hochfiled runs to best is well handicapped and Ernesto could be well handicapped. Based on that German race could be a 110 horse although been gelded since and maybe not worth the punt at this stage.

Given Land of Oz didnt fully frank the form and given Qatar Racing just bought Selino who looks totally unexposed that's where I head.

1st - Selino 10/1 ew
2nd - Ranch Hand 4/1

Berlin Tango/ Rand Hand Double worth a couple coins
