Bets 19/06/2024 - Day 2 Royal Ascot

Decent enough yesterday. Short of time yesterday so didn't complete all checks when punted them. Looks a tough day though.

I've listed in preference.

Queen Mary 2.30 - Smaller stakes on the 2yr olds. Darts only.

#1 Mighty Erui 20/1ew - Bought by Qatar, looks rapid. Cromwell loving RA

#2 Amestris 20/1ew - I like that Newmarket maiden form. Can argue Miss Rascal (who many are tipping) was the best of those but with the draw I think can do better. Bell states is better than two fillies he has sent to this race who finished 2nd!

#3 Kassaya 12/1ew - Solid profile.

---

Queen's Vase 3.05 - 

#1 Illinois 5/2 - Hopefully won't turn into a cliff horse. Backed for St Leger also. Form best on show.

---

Duke of Cambridge 3.45 - 

#1 Running Lion 14/1ew. Rogue is the best horse in the race on all known form, but Running Lion 3/3 over 1m and so can bounce back and go close

#2 Sea the Lady 12/1ew. Head has brought 1 to Ascot and won, so taking note of this at Ramaetuelle later in week. He seems keen on her.

---

Prince of Wales 4.25 - 

#1 Alafalia 9/1ew. Could have beaten AR lto if didn't fluff start. Runs well fresh. Runs well at Ascot and GF.

#2 Lord North 25/1ew - I know this is not the right thing to do. It's an emotive bet. However at peak form this is the best horse over distance, ground and course. Form behind Charyn is strong on a ground which was too soft and distance too short. Ran better in Dubai WC than suggests.

---

Royal Hunt Cup 5.05 - 

#1 Crack Shot 28/1ew - Really tough and I could back 5 or 6 so this is tough. Stuck with 4 year olds proven on quick ground and looks to have improved a ton from 3 to 4. This one ticked my boxes

#2 Coeur d'Or 12/1ew - Won the Irish Cambridgeshire Trials. Warm up this season over much shorter and was coming home strongly. Love a Weld horse at RA

---

Kensington Palace Stakes 5.40 - 

#1 Ahazara Palace 14/1ew looks to have improved couple stone over winter and form is working out. SDS had a solid day and booked for this.

#2 Aurora Dawn 10/1ew - Another Walker horse. Looked pretty unlucky lto

#3 Cell Sa Beele 33/1ew is a big risk as have to ignore lto. If you can then beat Breege at Ascot now a G3 winner. On paper got whooped in Sandringham but was top 3 on wrong side of track. First was Magical Sunset who also a G3 winner. So is potentially well handicpped here.

Windsor Castle Stakes 6.15 - 

#1 Gabaldon 16/1ew. Ran a very quick time over 5f on debut. Faster than Crimson Advocate before that won here last year.

#2 Ain't Nobody 8/1ew - Last race of day. Simply following some money.
