Royal Ascot - Saturday

Worst day of the meeting yesterday, with the rain making punting a little more difficult.

Summary: Bet 26pts - Return - 10pts - Loss - 16pts

Overall Loss - 7.18pts

Todays bets as follows:

2:30 Chesham Stakes
I've had this as a one horse race, but the rain seems to have brought out a few doubters into Maybe's chances. Hopefully that results in longer starting odds.

Recommendation: Maybe - 8pts @ 7/4* (Coral)

3:05 Hardwicke Stakes
I can see an upset here and its a toss up between Laaheb and Campanologist. Campanologist is the slightly longer odds at present, so that's who I'll back.

Recommendation: Campanologist - 2pts ew @ 16/1* (Ladbrokes)

3:45 Golden Jubilee Stakes 
As per usual this looks ultra competitive and I have a long list of potential winners, namely Amico Fritz, Bated Breath, Kingsgate Native, Star Witness and Bewitched. I've just a sneaky feeling Kingsgate Native could put up a big run.

Recommendation: Kingsgate Native - 2pts ew @ 20/1* (William Hill)

4:25 Wokingham Stakes
Another minefield, but the 3 who I think offer the best value are Macs Power, Imperial Guest and Nasri, with slight preference for the latter.

Recommendation: Nasri - 2pts ew @ 16/1* (William Hill)

5:00 Duke of Edinburgh Stakes
I think Awsaal could run well at a big price, but the more I look at Taqleed the more I think he has been layed out to win this race.

Recommendation: Taqleed - 2pts @ 8/1* (William Hill)

5:35 Queen Alexandra Stakes
The final race of the meet and I can only see Elyaadi triumphing.

Recommendation: Elyaadi - 4pts @ 7/2* (Ladbrokes)

2:05 Newmarket: Johnny Castle - 1pt @ 100/30* (William Hill)
