Royal Ascot day two tips! Roger Varian star backed to score in Queen’s Vase on Wednesday | Racing News
The Hugh Taylor speaker has a pair of selections for the second day of Royal Ascot on Wednesday, all live on Sky Sports Racing.
The decision to run Rahiebb In the queen’s vase (3.05), rather than the handicap King George V, seems both interesting and sensible, and it seems to have at least as strong references as some of its shorter rivals with a form of model.
He looked like a stay since his debut in Newcastle in more than one mile in March, when he was fifth and looked an unlikely winner before going through to win.
He probably was not likely to meet potentially intelligent rivals during his three subsequent departures, first pulling away with a large improver in the second time from the Gosden Court before continuing the incoming colts of group 1 formed by William Haggas in consecutive races.
The last of these performances came in what seemed a strong race in York, and I think that time will show that it has faced a very rigid task trying to concede 8 LB to the merchant. Rahiebb again has in the form of a stay, the first to undergo the pressure, but to stop well to finish a clear second, and the combination of time and sections was very good.
The third, fourth and sixth gathered in a class 2 handicap in Doncaster next time and filled the first three places, highlighting the strength of the York form.
Rahiebb is classified 92, 15 lb less than the Devil defender, who ran into the Dante the same day in York, but who covered the last half-mile in a time around a second larger than Rahiebb, and this form took a little beat in the derby with the six runners of the Dante beaten out of sight.
It is interesting to note that Roger Varian has not even entered Rahiebb in the handicap King George V, especially since neither the owner nor the trainer have another candidate for this race, and the decision to intervene on a trip can be paid here.
Sky Safari Leave the impression that she is a progressive filly in two starts this season, and if she settles down and that things fall just for her from Stall 1, she could prove the choice of weights in the stakes of the Kensington Palace (5.35).
Winner at high prices at the start in Yarmouth last June, she found the immediate step towards the company listed too much for her more than seven stadiums here after an absence of four months, even if she seemed to finish much closer until the two -wall pole.
Outside the brand in an ordinary handicap in Wolverhampton later than Mark, she took a big step forward during her seasonal beginnings when he won an impressive style in Kempton in April.
At first glance, it was not built on this in second place in cogitate on back strongly in Salisbury next time, but she took a fierce catch in the first stadiums and it is probably a sign of the ability she has that she has not abandoned.
She has shown a tendency to lean on the right, so Stall 1 may not be a bad place for her, but it is a bit of concern that there is not much pace guaranteed by the lower figures. Nevertheless, if it settles in the first stages, it could be able to confirm a well -disabled filly.
