Have to stay faithful to Sea The Stars here I’m afraid. Already done me a favour this year and I don’t see why he can’t win this.
Mike.Well, according to the bookie’s and everyone else this is a three horse race. Which one is the better will be interesting to see. My own take on it as it stands at the moment, bearing in mind the likely going on the day and the forecast rain, is to play the waiting game. If the rains arrive it wouldn’t be the greatest shock for STS not to run. It possibly would play into Conduits hands. As I said interesting.
Mike.Possible there could be a few non-runners tomorrow if rain persists. I agree with the above that Hits Only Vic would enter the equation if ground stays GS as it is forecast now. In fact Hendersyde and HOV would have to be on the short list. I’ll wait til tomorrow before a final decision. Good luck all who play.
Mike.This is a hard one where there are several in it with decent chances. I have narrowed it down to:
Judgethemoment, Wells Lyrical, Hendersyde and Speed Ticket. Bearing in mind the first six last year were drawn 6,12,5,15,16 and 19. However 8 of the last 10 came from single figure draws like last years winner so I think you have to bear that in mind. J, is drawn 21 which won’t help his cause. The other three are drawn in single figures. I like WL and H. They both seem to be progressive. As I said its hard, anyone else cracked it yet?
Mike.The draw for the last 10 years was:
6,13,16,7,5,1,9,17,4 and 6.
According to the Weekender 9 of the last 10 winners carried no more than 8st 11lb. They also say 7 from the last 10 swerved Royal Ascot.
For all stat people I should think these are important guidelines. The final decs should be out tomorrow so I’ll wait for them.
Mike.
