Royal Ascot Day Five tips – CopyBet
The final day is here at Royal Ascot and the stands will be jam-packed with racing fans for one last fantastic afternoon of sport.
There are seven races at Royal Ascot from 14:30-18:10 and the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes (15:40) features the fastest horses from not only Britain and Ireland, but also France and Japan.
There are some class acts in the Group 3 Jersey Stakes, but the most exciting runner is REMMOOZ, who goes into the race unbeaten in two starts and represents top trainer Owen Burrows.
Remmooz needed every yard of the 7f trip to get on top on his debut at Doncaster in April, but he looked even better when returning to that course under a penalty on his second outing two weeks ago.
The lightly raced son of Blue Point powered clear of a useful field to win by three lengths and was never in danger. He carried 11lb more than well-held runner-up Circios and the front two were nearly six lengths clear of the remainder in a good time for a novice event.
This is a much stiffer test for Remmooz, but he was strong at the finish when winning last time and is open to plenty more improvement, so it’s hard to know where the ceiling of his ability might lie.
Backing horses who ran well earlier in the week and then come back quickly for another race only a few days later at big festivals can be a lucrative strategy and SAMUI fits the bill.
Gordon Elliott knows what it takes to win the Queen Alexandra Stakes as he landed it twice in the 2010s with Commissioned and Pallasator, and Samui ran a cracker when third in the Copper Horse Stakes at the track on Tuesday. That was over an inadequate 1m6f and the winner French Master is a group-quality horse.
There probably won’t be anything of French Master’s ability in this line-up and Samui did all of his best work in the closing stages on Tuesday. It took him a long time to get rolling and it was only in the final strides that he was able to take third place.
He has almost an extra mile to run in this marathon event and that is definitely in Samui’s favour. His run on Tuesday might have brought him along again and the combination of a tongue strap and cheekpieces that he wore then are back on.
It’s 11 years since Baccarat gave Richard Fahey his only winner of the Wokingham, but GOLDEN MIND could add another success for the popular trainer who does well with sprinters.
The four-year-old had strong form on the all-weather over the winter and returned from a short break to finish only a head second on the turf at Epsom a couple of weeks ago.
Golden Mind was racing over 7f that day, but both of his wins have come at this shorter 6f trip and the stiff nature of this course might be ideal for him. There should be more to come.
He was third in the Chesham Stakes over 7f at this course two years ago and is unexposed at this sort of test. This will be the first time that he has contested a 6f handicap on grass.
