Bit of a review and betting flucs from yesterday’s Ascot races.
Yes Paddy, the more diverse opinion we can dish out the more we’ll know about each race.
R1 – Good win again to Fore Stay, fast finish with the 56kg. Super Moss 3 wide t/o, big improvement from Party Boy gave Bairstow 1st and 3rd. Tango Man not wanted (6/4 9/4).
R2 – Air Pocket (5 9/2) was incredible odds, but often post-race we’re champion tipsters. Odds were helped by the potential improvement in Pretty Smik (15/8 13/8) and support for a couple of 1st starters.
R3 – For those who took the 5/4 it was a case of Early Exit not Express when he couldn’t cross and lead. Winner unbeaten after 4 runs.
R5 – Face Your Fears was a good young horse, hadn’t shown much in the last year or so. Swoopers were suited in this after the pace set by Eastern Standard & Miss Torpago. Son of Vasac(good 2nd) was very firm in the betting 5/2 2 9/4 2.
R6 – Double for Hughes when he settled Blinded worse than midfield then sprinted at the right time, but the odds(2 7/4 2) were short. Of the on-pacers Vindaloo(7 6) just dropped Kingston Blaze on straightening. That was a booming run from Instantaneous, is reliant on pace though.
R8 – Western Tycoon – punters’ nightmare. Been fav. at 7 of it’s 9 starts and saluted only once. Today they snapped up the shorts (7/4 6/4 5/4) at it’s first 1400m run. The thing is that he was wide and some may blackbook it (again).
Have a great week.
