Royal Ascot 2021

A Case Of You who scrambled home in the G3 3yo sprint over 6f on very soft going at Naas today has been confirmed for the Commonwealth. In March he beat Logo Hunter by 3 3/4l giving 5lb on the all weather at Dundalk with Mooneista (7lb worse off today) a further 1l back in 3rd. Mooneista was beaten by only a nk. today so I am hoping A Case For You will improve for better ground at Ascot. He is available at 33/1 with B365, having been cut into 14/1 16/1 by Skybet and Hills

He's won on soft 3 times now, would you be confident he'll improve on better going?
 
I Have had a bet on Suesa (20/1 Paddy Power, Betfair, Sky Bet) for the commonwealth cup today before her run at Chantilly in the group 3 Prix Texanita over 6F.

She was very impressive on seasonal reappearance at Chantilly on the 20th April, pulling away to win by 3 and a half lengths in her 3rd career start in a 5 and a half furlong race. She was never stronger than at the line in her first race on a sound surface and it was nothing more than a hands and heels steering job for Peslier.

This form was then franked by the 4 and three quarter length 3rd Ideal beauty, who won the Group 3 5F sprint at Longchamp yesterday.

The Racing Post gave Suesa a rating of 113 for this run at Chantilly, if you add in the 3lb filly allowance then she has run to a figure of 116 according to the racing post in only her 3rd ever career start. To put that into context in the market, Campanelle's best ever rating is 114 at Deauville last year, Supremacy's is 118 in the Middle Park, Dragon Symbol achieved 111 last time out and Alcohol Free ran 113 in the Cheveley Park, Measure of magic 106, lucky vega 116. So at this point in her career Suesa is coming out very close to the top of the ratings with allowances factored in.

I am hoping for her to come out and win easily in her first start over 6f today and for connections to say they are looking to take up her entry in the commonwealth cup.


EDIT:

Another hand and heels job in a group 3 and shortening all round, best priced 10's with paddy and betfair and as short as 6's with hills. Happy with that and hoping for George Strawbridge to send her here next.

Liked the look of Castle Star in the curragh marble hill stakes today, not buying the pundit's view that masseto could have caught him if he'd not got stuck in behind a few others.

Both will be of interest in the 5/6 furlong races at Ascot but hoping castle goes for Coventry and Cadamosto goes for norfolk
 
After Rohaan won at Haydock on Saturday beating dragon symbol by a nose, I'm scratching my head at B365 keeping Diligent Harry priced at 16/1 for the commonwealth cup, so I've went in on him again.

Yes, I'd like DH to have another run before Ascot but weather is clearly preventing that at the moment as he's been scratched from the Carnarvon previously and the race Rohaan won on Saturday due to the soft conditions but he was only having his third career run when he finished a short head behind Rohaan at Lingfield in March. In comparison, Rohaan was in his 10th race when they met and has now run another 3, winning 2 of them. Improvement surely beckons for DH. If it came up truly soft as Ascot, it might be an issue given he's been taken out of a few races due to that but Cox and Kirby think highly of this guy so he's value on B365 when he's 10/1 elsewhere.

Really looking forward to this year's commonwealth cup and am adding DH into a few each way doubles and Trixie's with a few Cheltenham picks too.
 
Did he say anything about tiger moth?

I see he's entered in the Hardwicke and is of interest to me at 7s

Yesterday was clearly a prep for something

But he also has an entry in the curragh Cup over 1m6f so I'd want a stable hint that he was going to ascot

He mentioned coronation at Epsom or Hardwicke for Broome, so that might influence where Tiger moth goes. He did say something regards TM on rte before the race yesterday but I can't remember it now. To be honest, he wasn't really giving anything away (typical) so it probably wouldn't have been anything earth shattering!

I looked online to see if I could find it but couldn't. Only thing I found that might interest you is a quote from march where he said they didn't see him as a stayer so that might mean Hardwicke, given the shorter distance, link below.

He says they don't see him as a stayer but they still entered him in the gold cup

He chats a load of rubbish most of the time trying to sell the party line

id have tiger moth as a much better horse than Broome who has won some poor races
 
Happy to throw a free bet away at that price

She turns up and its gd ground shell be sub 3/1

Her price will be slashed if she's seen trotting within 50 miles of an airport!

Did you see the WW update a few weeks back on atr?
