Royal Ascot Racing Tip

Who will take their chance in this fillies’ contest for the juveniles on Friday? It looks like quite a strong field with eight undefeated runners lining up.

FLOTUS who is the favourite in Royal Ascot betting definitely has claims. She picked up an eye-catching win at Goodwood on her debut last month.

HELLO YOU is another that impressed on her first trip. She got her victory by a wide margin on a run at Wolverhampton which puts her right in the frame in this one.

But it is CACHET at 9/1 who gets the nod from us* (betting odds recorded 20:27 GMT on June 17th 2021 at 888sport).

She picked up a win on her debut at Newmarket and showed a tremendous turn of speed there as well. It was a supremely good performance and looks like a ready-made Group competitor.

Royal Ascot Racing Tip

We get a smaller field for this one and THE MEDITERRANEAN has plenty of appeal in Royal Ascot betting at 9/2* (betting odds recorded 20:27 GMT on June 17th 2021 at 888sport).

He opened the season with a victory at Leopardstown, in a bigger field in a maiden contest. That sharpened him well.

The Mediterranean took his form further forward on a follow by taking a second-place finish in a Listed event.

He was only narrowly beaten in that one as well, which was a couple of weeks ago. Aidan O’Brien’s colt has a lot of potential to push on for even more.

ALENQUER has big claims for trainer Willie Haggas, as he looks massively progressive. On his reappearance he won at Sandown in a Group 3, beating subsequent Derby winner Adyar.

Another to keep on the shortlist for this one is TITLE who looks well worth his place in Group company based on some nice progressive form this season.

Royal Ascot Racing Tip

CANMPANELLE has the most appeal for us at 4/1 in Royal Ascot odds* (betting odds recorded 20:27 GMT on June 17th 2021 at 888sport).

She won her first three racetrack appearances, including the Queen Mary here at Royal Ascot last year. Campanelle rounded off last season with a Group 1 win at The Prix Morny.

So that gives her big claims here, despite losing her undefeated record in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf at Keeneland in which she was fourth.

But this Royal Ascot trip will have been her big target and the return of Frankie Dettori to the saddle will help massively.

SUESA also brings huge claims having won all four appearances so far. Those were all at Chantilly and look to have a big future in Group company.

There are actually a lot of strong claims in this one. DRAGON SYMBOL we think is worth putting on the shortlist.

He lost his unbeaten record on a trip at Haydock last month but has produced good enough to be in this. That unbeaten record went by a nose only in the Group 2 Sandy Lane Stakes last month.

Royal Ascot Racing Tip

PRETTY GORGEOUS gets the nod as 9/2 tip in Royal Ascot odds for the Coronation Stakes on Friday* (betting odds recorded 20:27 GMT on June 17th 2021 at 888sport).

She was flying along progressively as a juvenile and will be better for her reappearance run. That happened at the Irish 1000 Guineas.

Pretty Gorgeous went a long way in that one in some heavy going. She was better than the 7th place finish that she settled with.

But she gets a favourable draw over EMPRESS JOSEPHINE who won that Irish 1000 Guineas. She looks to have more strong claims for a win.

The quicker ground could help her out even further here as she pays a visit to Royal Ascot. On Friday. The other obvious selection for the shortlist is MOTHER EARTH.

Aidan O’Brien’s filly scored the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket and went close in the French version on her follow, which was a month ago.

That is the kind of form that puts her right in the mix for this one as another bold show is firmly expected now.

Race Type: Fillies Handicap Class 2
Age: 3 year olds only
Declared Runners: 30
Distance: 1m

Royal Ascot Racing Tip

A huge field here to dig through and there are plenty within it with a decent shout.

CAMDEBOO looks a nice each-way pick at 16/1* (betting odds recorded 20:27 GMT on June 17th 2021 at 888sport).

She was a good fourth in a Listed run at Cork on her latest effort and the move up to the 1m trip looks to be right within her range. Camdeboo had opened the season with a 7f win at the same venue.

GLESGA GIRL has won her last two, the latest of those successes happening in a 7f handicap at Wolverhampton last month, comfortably getting the better of SHE DO. We expect another bold effort from Glesga Girl.

FRIENDLY can’t be counted out of this as she drops a fair way in class. She was last seen in the Group 1 Irish 1000 Guineas and now slides back to calmer waters in a handicap. With that in mind, she has to be highly respected.

Royal Ascot Racing Tip

ZABEEL CHAMPION is flying at the moment, having won his last three. The hat-trick was completed in a small field at Newmarket 47 days ago.

There’s a lot more on his plate here in a bigger field, but Mark Johnston’s colt is thriving at the moment and needs to be kept on side as a 16/1 each-way punt* (betting odds recorded 20:27 GMT on June 17th 2021 at 888sport).

As for the real strong favourite for us in this handicap, we have to go with AADDEEY who has looked strong and consistent.

It has been two wins from five runs from him. There was an excellent second place to the upwardly mobile FLYIN’ SOLO at Newbury on his reappearance.

Then Aaddeey bolted up to score at Newmarket on a follow-up.

There is a big 13lb rise for him to deal with, but he’s lightly raced and that jump in the weights doesn’t necessarily rule him out.

Another to consider for the shortlist is QUICKTHORN who is progressive quickly as well. He arrived after an easy win at Haydock last month. He also comes up 13lb.

Royal Ascot Racing Tip

It is another big and wide-open field that we round off Royal Ascot betting odds with for the day.

Our pick for this one is going to be BOOMSHALAA who looks as if he could develop into a very good sprinter.

Boomshalaa is a 6/1 quote for the win* (betting odds recorded 20:27 GMT on June 17th 2021 at 888sport).

He has taken two wins this year already and the drop back to a 5f trip is going to put him right in the frame.

Roger Varian’s colt looks to be the one to beat in the fixture on what is his handicap debut.

Others to keep on side for the contest are WARRIOR BRAVE who is well in for the race, while EQUALITY looks like a very good progressive colt.
