Royal Ascot Day 4

The Coronation Stakes shapes up to be the race of the meeting with the 3 guineas winners lining up along with last year's top 2yo and 2 unexposed fillies from Ireland and France. It should be a fascinating race and it is very difficult to knock chances of leading contenders. However at the moment, Again looks fair value on Betfair @ 9s, probably due to concern about her liking for quick going. A valid consideration but did see her win a competitive maiden at the Curragh on lightning fast ground last summer.

South Easter was pulled out of the Derby at the last minute but previously had showed plenty of potential. This is more his level and he should be the one to beat. Lillie Langtry comes with high hopes but this looks like a race to be avoided. Also like Clowance House but have no idea as to whether he will stay or not (Last run suggested possibilities).

Finally in the 7f handicap, Golden Desert (track specialist?) might be worth a second look!!

best of luck...
