Bets 22/06/2012 - Royal Ascot Day 4

Eek. A lot of rain and a lot of placed horses going on yesterday. The favourites were stinkers yesterday and I’m gutted I didn’t back Colour Vision or Fennell Bay. But that is punting. Hindsight is easy. Thought I was going to pull off a massive win with Rougemont, but I’ll take console in the fact he was definitely overpriced. Either way I definitely lost about £100 yesterday. Today’s ground throws up plenty to think about…

Ascot 2.30 – Wouldn’t know where to start with this one, so will just follow Segal. The Gold Cheongsam 11/1. No idea why but meh. Random punt on All on Red 40/1, who will love this horrendous weather.

Ascot 3.05 – Think this one is between Thomas Chippendale 8/1 and Astrology. The other’s are taken out on their form behind Astrology or the ground. On official ratings Chippendale has a lot to find but Segal has gone in this direction as well

Ascot 3.45 – I think Homecoming Queen 7/2 is probably a good thing with a current conditions?

Ascot 4.25 – Beachfire 25/1? Thank you very much. Last year’s easy winner is technically only couple lengths worse off. Qaraaba 10/1 looks a decent bet as well on this soft ground and well picked out by Segal

Ascot 5.00 – I’ve made a note to avoid Stoute runners over 1m at Ascot, yet Segal has tipped Estimate. I like the look of Yadzi 11/2. You wouldn’t back him on pedigree but looks decent.

Ascot 5.35 – Segal has tipped Imperial Djay, a horse who has won a couple of big pots for me before and Global Village, who looks a solid bet. Docofthebay 20/1 has also won me a few decent prizes and he came close to winning this last year on soft and goes in 4lb this year. One other I want to call out is Gossamer Seed 20/1. Has serious formlines over tacky ground. If the Morrison horse gets back under 16/1 I’ll tuck in. Argh so many tempting ones. Thunderball 40/1 is too big but not good enough to win. Emilio Largo 12/1 is interesting but little form to go by.
