Making a profit may not be so easy today :-( huge fields etc,Track watering 
?

2.30

WAFFLE won his debut race @ Leics has top combo of Noseda and Frankie..nice 
ew at least.PROLIFIC lost nowt in defeat lto and has Hannon who has won 
already this meet.FLASHMANS PAPERS won on Tues and it is unlikely he`ll go 
in again in the same week?But no surprise if he did after beating BUSH 
RANGER :-( has the strangest of breeding by an Aussie out of a German by an 
American LOL

3.05

MICHITA did not like the vagaries of Epsom and may enjoy this flatter track 
and get her head back in front.imho

3.45

COASTAL PATH is another of my Ante Post bets for the Cup with a record of 
played 6 won 6!!      Ran over 16f lto so should stay the extra plus he is 
bred to be a stayer.
YEATS has to be the classiest of Cup winners for many a year but he will 
have to be in top form to hold his younger rival at bay imho
A couple to consider for long odds ew are REGAL FLUSH and THUNDERING STAR 
from S.A.

4.20 Britannia Stakes

137 runners,all 3-y-o`s,plus any draw bias hah! easy.After hours of study I 
predict a 30-way photo finish LOL
Here goes...
COMMANDER CAVE from the inform Hannon/Hughes combo has a low draw to 
help(possibly)
SLUGGER O`TOOLE (what a great name)could box on late from a high draw.RATTAN 
is improving rapidly and I for one would love to see him win for Henry for 
old times sake if nothing else.

4.55
With such  an open looking field nice prices are available all round.CENTRAL 
STATION of Dermot Welds won easing down on his debut,the contsted a Group 3 
staying on well behind HEBRIDEAN..looks a prospect here.UNNEFER of Cecils 
has done all that has been asked of him and I fancy he will figure here 
today.STAYING ON seems to be the forgotten horse,he has won 3 out of 4 this 
season his one defeat was by UNNEFER on G-S going and he also has a weight 
pull,no forlorn hope.

5.30
ALLIED POWERS has been in fine fettle this season winning his last 3 
nicely,owes me nothing.
The longer trip should suit COLONY and should make the frame flws

well I`m off to get the early prices ;-)

all above imho

and remember its Ascot so be careful out there,keep `em peeled *GRIN*

"That Damn Butterfly"

Thursday mate ;-)

This is my favourite day of the Royal Ascot meeting as my week almost 
always relies on how well I do in the Brittania and King George V 
handicaps and I usually increase my stakes and do a bit of 
dutching/combo forecasts/tricasts...I may even try a combo forecast on 
stalls 1-6 in the Brittania today as it would have worked out quite well 
yesterday....anywayz...here goes...

2:30 Norfolk Stakes

I really liked Finjaan for this but he is a non-runner I think.
SPIN CYCLE is rated highly by Bryan Smart at at around the 10/1 mark is 
worth an e/w bet provided he does not get too worked up in the 
preliminaries.
BAYCAT is another overpriced following two solid wins and will not find 
the faster ground a problem, 14/1 looks e/w value.

3:05 Ribblesdale Stakes

CAPE AMBER followed up her 2nd in the Musidora with a slightly unlucky 
6th in the Oaks. This looks easier and at 5/1 she looks decent value to 
score here.

3:45 Gold Cup

Would love to see YEATS win this and he will take all the beating so is 
worth the win bet at 2/1 but it's worth picking an e/w bet given his 
odds are so short.
Royal Flush looks fair value and I was on the verge of selecting him at 
22/1 but even better value is the French challenger LE MIRACLE who was 
3rd in this race last year and had Yeats 3+ lengths behind in 3rd when 
scoring in the Prix Cadran last backend. One of the few in the field who 
actually might find this 2 1/2 miles on the sharp side as his breeding 
is all about stamina so a fast-run Gold Cup could see him spring a shock 
but he is worth an e/w poke.

4:20 Brittania Stakes Handicap

One of my first rules in this is to back the Gosden runner and given my 
liking for Cheveley Park runners, VIRTUAL looks a standout bet at the 
16/1 mark.
My other rule in this is to start from stall 1 and count up until I hit 
a top trainer and that gives me COMMANDER CAVE who was narrowly pipped 
at the post last time. Hannon/Hughes won a big prize yesterday and with 
this one in stall 2 they have every chance of another at 14/1.
Mark Johnston is always to be respected in these handicaps and his Love 
Galore looks to hold a chance but the 50/1 is all gone that Pricewise 
has tipped him and his draw could be better.
Siberian Tiger is interesting dropped back in trip but my 3rd rule is to 
follow an Abdullah runner for a top yard so I'll stick in FIFTEEN LOVE 
at 33/1, drawn 4 for Roger Charlton. He will appreciate better ground 
and the cheekpieces could bring some improvement.

4:55 Hampton Court Stakes

Going to take a chance with STAYING ON here for Walter Swinburn. 
Defeated Command Cave last time so watch for that one in the previous 
race. 16/1 looks quite big considering the progressive look to his form.
I don't know what to make of the fact Ryan Moore has deserted Dr Faustus 
for Kensington Oval so I'll leave them both alone and have a saver on 
Dermot Weld's CENTRAL STATION. He is fully unexposed and the yard's 
runners are to be respected in races of this nature. 25/1 looks huge.

5:30 King George V Stakes Handicap

This is one of my favourite races at Royal Ascot as I always seem to get 
the winner so am hoping my luck holds.
Michael Stoute makes it easier here by only running one and COLONY is he 
bet at 7/1. I remember backing Admiral for this a few years back and 
this one looks very similar in terms of profile/same owner etc.
The consistent Ramona Chase is very interesting and I was tempted to 
throw in a Mark Johnston runner but he is not in good enough form for me 
at the moment so I'll take a chance again on another Dermot Weld runner 
in GHIMAAR at 14/1. Needs to improve but the least exposed runner in the 
field.

Good Luck all

OK Lads, now don't let me down - I'm on FLASHMANS PAPERS and LE MIRACLE for 
a place.  Remy all round if they do the honours...

Good luck all

Grrrr!

If Drowne had applied just one more whip, it would have been placed! 
Another stiff prick jockey - there's lots of them about when you lose 
money....

WAFFLE non-runner but PROLIFIC stayed on at one pace for 3rd so no loss. 
FLASH finished late for 4th which was quite a good run for 2nd race in 3 
days.But SOUTH CENTRAL trapped so fast and ran flat out to just about hold 
on.Reminded me of LOCHSONG..fast away and fast all the way :-)

Easy Peasy,cruised around then went for it 2 out and staedily pulled away 
for a facile win,very smart filly even given the opposition was not that 
great 7-2 `ll do me..

Much as we hate it,you have to accept the bad decisions etc that Jokeys make 
and factor it in when taking a view Ron.As I said earlier .."It was a good 
run considering it was his 2nd run in 3 days so it was expectiong a bit much 
to come here in this speedy field and do a repeat"

Glad to hear it Ron, shame he didn't get his head up but once again 
Thursday has proven to be my best day with winning bets on Fifteen Love 
and Colony. I might just bet in the handicaps next year ;-)

Good day for me also eventually,had pplenty of place bets up,a few non 
runners and MICHITA and COLONY all at better than sp :-)
Pity about COASTAL PATH but he is young and it was only his 7th race! But 
I`ll long remember YEATS battling qualities today,we can add that 
description to "Classy"
