Page Fuller's Wednesday tips: two Ascot selections based on RaceiQ data

The sun will be blazing on the second day of the Royal Meeting and, once again, we have a cracking contest with which to kick off the show.

Juvenile fillies will be hurtling down the five-furlong straight in the Queen Mary Stakes (2.30) and a horse with course form really catches the eye.

Society Kiss may only have one run under her belt, but her winning debut over course and distance was very impressive.

I could tell you how quick her winning time was on our Time Index, but when it matches No Nay Never’s juvenile course record of 58.80 seconds, I don’t think you need any more context than that!

She was very professional, clocking the second fastest 0-20mph of the field at 2.57 seconds, and then quickened up to post the second fastest Top Speed of 42.37 mph in the penultimate furlong.

The way she maintained that speed made her look classy – despite being the only horse to clock two sub-11 second furlongs in the race, she still completed the final furlong more quickly than any other horse.

Her course experience is sure to give her an edge, and if she puts in a similar performance today, her rivals will do well to get within striking distance.

The Prince Of Wales’s Stakes (4.20) gives us another high-profile rematch between the battle-hardened Los Angeles and last year’s Champion Stakes winner Anmaat.

Anmaat went down on his sword last time in the Tattersalls Gold Cup, but I think this time we will see him turn the tables on Los Angeles, and Jim Crowley will have learnt a lot from that race too.

When he won the Champion Stakes last October, he got into trouble in the home straight and only secured a clear run close home.

At the time, he looked fortunate, but in hindsight, having his challenge held back until the very final stages may have helped. His final furlong of 12.80seconds was the quickest furlong he posted up the home straight, highlighting that he was able to use his sharp turn of foot at exactly the right moment.

In the Tattersalls Gold Cup, things unfolded very differently. His fastest furlong of the race was clocked three furlongs from home, and he completed both the third-last and penultimate furlongs 0.14 seconds quicker than Los Angeles.

However, he couldn’t maintain that momentum to the line and completed the final furlong fractionally slower than Los Angeles, just forfeiting the win in the dying strides.

Back at Ascot, I think the race will unfold more suitably for Anmaat, and Jim Crowley will be mindful not to use his mount’s speed too early.

He is also likely to strip a little fitter for his reappearance, whereas Los Angeles no longer has that race-fitness advantage here.
