Since I have resurrected the COMPUTERACE ratings system it has thrown up some fantastic winners and it’s consistency at big meetings has been phenomenal. It has been in action for over 30 years and still produces more winners than any other system I have come across. So in the table for each race you will see lots of data produced and also the horses are listed in the order that the COMPUTERACE has rated each horse. Anything red is data I have highlighted that I feel is important. The horse in red and also red bold are my selections for the race. The bold being my preference. Some people like to keep it simple and bet on one or more of the top rated selections.
2:30 ROYAL ASCOT - QUEEN MARY STAKES - 5F
On paper this looks tricky but I do think TRUE LOVE (5/2) will prove to be a class above these. It looks short, but could be one of the races where in hindsight this is a huge price. Also worth an each way saver on ZELAINA (5/1)
3:05 ROYAL ASCOT - QUEEN'S VASE - 1 MILE 6F
Every race is so competitive and cases can be made for several in each race. Another trappy affair with strong word coming for Carmers but I really like Roger Varian’s RAHIEBB (12/1) and we can confidently have some decent each way bets. As I always say, make sure you shop around for bookies paying out on extended places.
3:40ROYAL ASCOT - DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE STAKES - 1 MILE
I like CINDERELLAS DREAM (6/4) but it’s short enough and I am going to leave this one alone from a punting perspective. Sometimes short priced runners scream lump on but thi son emakes me nervous. Maybe it’s the fact the Appleby stable are yet to get off the mark but something is telling me to sit this one out.
4:20ROYAL ASCOT - PRINCE OF WALES'S STAKES - 1 MILE 2F
I am a huge fan of OMBUDSMAN (6/1) who definitely needed the run at Sandown last month. Unbeaten prior to that and this is an absolutely massive price. We can have maximum each way bets here and I have no interest in even looking for savers on anything else. This horse should be a 2/1 shot. Big mistake from the bookies. Thank me later.
5:00 ROYAL ASCOT - ROYAL HUNT CUP - 1 MILE
This should be a race where you look to have two or three selections at double figure prices but I am just struggling to get away from MY CLOUD (9/2) who has has the season mapped out to come and win this. Won here in April and then at Newbury last month, this is a horse on the up. Decent enough price to have each way bets. I do also like BULLET POINT (14/1) at a bigger price. Drawn either side to try and cover the advantage should there be one.
5:35 ROYAL ASCOT - KENSINGTON PALACE STAKES - 1 MILE
MISS INFORMATION (12/1) was really unlucky at Epsom and won nicely the time before. This could be set up perfectly for her with a nice flat wide track, expect her to sit it out and come rattling home. I also like George Boughey’s UNASSUMING (33/1) for a small each way bet.
6:10 ROYAL ASCOT - WINDSOR CASTLE STAKES - 5F
A horrible race to try and unravel. There’s a few I like the look of but there’s nothign that screams winner. I’m going thave a few small each way bets for fun in the hope that I’ve had a good day before this finale. UTMOST RESPECT (16/1) and OLD IS GOLD (11/2) are my tentative selections.
