SAN 2 (1:15EDT)- 5f National Stakes (Listed Race) (Class 1) (2yo)
2yos making their case for a Royal Ascot start. Lots of rain over there for the last ten days, so handling soft ground could be the key. Boxing the three which have handled it already, #3- Ebro River (7-1), #5- Little Earl (10-1) and #6- Navello (5-2).
EXBOX- 3,5,6

SAN 3 (1:50EDT)- 2m Henry II Stakes (Group 3) (Class 1) (4yo+)
The stayers race to prep for the Gold Cup, and Stradivarius. #2- Ocean Wind (6-5) is a very exciting horse. He started as an ordinary hurdler, but then hit the flat and hasn't looked back. Only beaten a length by Stradivarius in the Sagaro S. (GIII) at Ascot last time. Doesn't want to empty the tank here, but may just be too good for this bunch. To make a wager out of it, using him over outsider #5- Lismore (15-1) from the Henry De Bromhead barn, which is having a stellar season already over jumps and flat. 4yo filly ran a corker at Gowran Park last time in a Listed event, maybe #1- Nayef Road (8-5) is still working back into form.
EX- 2/5

SAN 4 (2:25EDT)- 1m2f Brigadier Gerard Stakes (In Memory Of Joe Mercer) (Group 3) (Class 1) (4yo+)
Four horse field with the scratch of Oriental Mystique. #1- Euchen Glen (15-1) is clearly off form and won't likely turn it all around here. #2- Extra Elusive (2-1) runs his eyeballs out for Hollie Doyle, and made a good impression when third on turf reappearance over this course and distance last time. They'll be eyeballing #4- Sangarius (Even) just to their inside. Juddmonte runner was second to Armory in a GII on seasonal debut, has the reputation but the numbers say he's not any better than these on everyone's best. Flying under the radar is my pick #3- Fox Tal (5-1) for Andrew Balding and Silvestre De Sousa. Close second in a good handicap at Chester last time, handles the soft going and may surprise the top two with blinkers added today.
WIN- 3

EXBOX- 3,5,6 Result- 3,5,6 Exacta $87.80 Strange race as Ebro River ($6.80) missed the break, rushed up the rail, made the front, then drifted badly to his left while still holding on to an open length victory. Little Earl ran gamely for second, just wouldn't let anyone else by, making for a nice exacta. Three horses with soft ground form ran 1,2,3.TW |

EX- 2/5 Result- 5,4,2 So Lismore ($17.40) decided to embarrass everyone, taking over with three furlongs to run and widening to an insurmountable lead before pulling herself up a bit towards the finish. Nayef Road was listless in last place, something is clearly amiss with him. Seemed like Jack Mitchell on Ocean Wind threw in the towel about a furlong or so out when he saw he wasn't making a dent, saving some for Royal Ascot or is there an issue there too? TW |
