Thursday was a mixed day for my picks,at Ascot Magical Lagoon won. The 11/4 chance chased the clear leader moving to the front 2 out. She was strongly pressed inside the final furlong and despite edging left she asserted herself in the final 110 yards beating Sea Silk Road by 1/2 a length. In the other Ascot race Stradivarius was 3rd. The 2/1 shot was prominent early sitting in midfield. He didn't get a clear run despite switching to the left from 2 out but he did make some good headway in the closing stages going 3rd inside the final furlong. He had no extra towards the finish allowing Kyprios to win by 1/2 a length. Over at Leopardstown Cash Or Crypto was 6th.
Friday is a bumper day with meetings at Ascot, Down Royal and Limerick with 3 standout races.
Royal Ascot 3.05: Commonwealth Cup (Group 1)
4: El Caballo: Was runner-up on his debut at Doncaster last spring but has won 6 in a row since,his last victory coming in the Sandy Lane Stakes at Haydock last month. On form he is the one to beat.
Royal Ascot 4.20: Coronation Stakes (Group 1)
5: Inspiral: This exciting horse is unbeaten in her career so far. Her last win came in a Fillies mile at Newmarket back in October. She easily beat Prosperous Voyage by 2 1/2 lengths to make it 4 victory’s and with lots more to come she should be hard to beat here on her return.
Limerick 7.25: Martin Molony Stakes.
1: Raise You: A smart horse who picked up his career best win in a listed race at The Curragh 27 days ago. He beat Okita Soushi by 3 1/2 lengths and can claim his hat-trick here.
