Having been on the wrong one in both Guineas, it was great to win the Coronation Stakes with PRECISE on Friday.
She got into a good rhythm and stayed very well. She’s very good. At the mile, she’s very good, and I think she’ll get 10 furlongs.
Royal Ascot | R1: G2 Norfolk Stakes
I kick off the fifth and final day with CARRY THE FLAG. He’s a fast colt.
He ran a good race second time out at Naas, and then he was second to GREAT BARRIER REEF in the race at the Curragh.
That piece of form has worked out nicely given the winner followed up in the Coventry Stakes here on Tuesday.
Royal Ascot | R2: G2 Hardwicke Stakes
JAN BRUEGHEL had a few options this week and I thought he’d have to be respected whatever he ran in.
He and LAMBOURN both ran in the Coronation Cup, which was a funny race with horses split across the track on really bad ground, so I wouldn’t read into that too much.
Whilst those the conditions were tough; they wouldn’t be running here if they hadn’t come out of that race fine.
It looks like another good renewal of the Hardwicke, and it will take some winning.
Royal Ascot | R3: G1 Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes
Japanese raider SATONO REVE was second in this race last year and he was a little unfortunate.
He's obviously been over to Hong Kong; he's a Group One winner in Japan and has run some blinding races behind Ka Ying Rising. If he brings his best form, he's going to be right there with every chance.
The Australian contenders look strong this year, with JOLIESTAR the standout, so it's going to be a hard race, but at least he's been there, he's proven at the track, and if he brings his best form, he's right there.
Royal Ascot | R4: G3 Jersey Stakes
NEOLITHIC comes into this off the back of placing in the Listed Tetrarch Stakes at the start of May.
The winner, CAUSEWAY, won well at Ascot at Friday, so that’s working out well, and I think he’ll have every chance back down in trip.
It looks quite a hot race and we might not be one of the favourites, but he’s solid.
Royal Ascot | R5: Wokingham Stakes
COMPLETELY RANDOM is a nice grey that I’ve won twice on over this trip, albeit on the all-weather. .
He was also fifth in the Wokingham off the same mark last year, so he’s proven he can get involved.
Royal Ascot | R6: Golden Gates Stakes
AMADEUS MOZART is a nice son of Wootton Bassett. He’s cutting back in trip having finished second to ENDORSEMENT in a Listed race at Leopardstown last time out.
He’s a likeable horse who should go well over this distance on better ground.
Royal Ascot | R7: Queen Alexandra Stakes
ILLINOIS also ran in that messy Epsom race. You can put a line through that, and I think this will suit him better.
He was second to TRAWLERMAN in the Gold Cup last year and was a consistent performer in Group company last season.
