Royal Ascot 2011 Tips And Odds Make Favourites Solid Bets On Day One Thursday 09 June 2011 at 11:00 Royal Ascot 2011 gets underway on Tuesday and as usual Royal Ascot Tips And Odds will be extremely popular in the lead up to the event and also during the five day highlight of the flat racing calendar.
Wonder Horse Frankel One To Enjoy On Day One
On Day One of Royal Ascot there are three group one races and all eyes will be on amazing 2000 Guineas winner Frankel in the St James Palace Stakes. Frankel is just 4/11 to continue his unbeaten record and that price won’t appeal to many but he should win comfortably, perhaps just a race to watch. Last year’s St James Palace winner, Canford Cliffs, who is unbeaten at Ascot in two runs will be looking to win the Queen Anne Stakes. The race looks like a two horse race with last year’s winner Goldikova in opposition but age could be catching up with the French raider and Canford Cliffs looks a good bet at 5/4 with most bookies. The other group one on day one is the Kings Stand Stakes and it looks a tough race, with no outstanding sprinter in England it could pay to go with Australian sprinter Star Witness who has been popular at 9/2.
Each Way Alternatives to Favourites Later In The Week
One of the most exciting races at Royal Ascot is the Ascot Gold Cup and this looks one of the most open renewals in recent years, Fame And Glory is 5/2 to give Aidan O’Brien another win in the race but he looks short enough, last year’s winner Rite Of Passage is a doubt for the race but should go well if making it in. At bigger prices it could be worth having an each way punt on Holberg who already has a Royal Ascot win on his CV and is perhaps overpriced at 12/1. One of the most popular handicaps of the week is the Royal Hunt Cup and Green Destiny is the popular favourite but he might want a bit more rain than is forecast, Mont Agel at 16/1 and Invincible Soul at 33/1 provide value alternatives for each way punters.
