Victoria Cup 2010 & Supporting Race

2.50 Ascot

Bovis Homes Fillies' Handicap (Str) (Class 2) (3YO plus)
Winner £29,142 - 14 run

Pick: Clairvoyance e/w


Not many that take the eye here, although Alsace Lorraine is a worthy favourite who could go on to big things this year. Off Chance should relish the likely strong pace at this trip after enhancing her progressive profile in defeat at Haydock last time. CLAIRVOYANCE is on a fair mark for her efforts and is taken to find the places here, while Blue Angel could do the same.


3.25 Ascot

Totesport Victoria Cup (Heritage Handicap) (Class 2) (4YO plus)
Winner £52,964


Pick: Oratory, Street Power (e/w)


Again, not many that actually appeal a lot to me. Mabati holds an excellent chance and is clearly thriving at the moment but I’ll leave him alone at his price off 9-8. Castles In The Air is an uncomplicated ride who should go well following his win last time, but is significantly higher in the weights now, and even with hi rider’s claim, is still higher than when finishing eighth in his last Heritage Handicap here. Prime Exhibit should go well following his Lincoln second if he can get into the race properly from his draw of 4. Makkamen is useful but still a little high in the weights and his form is a worry. One Way Or Another holds a decent e/w chance. ORATORY must hold a decent chance based on his third in the Spring Cup and with positive stable vibes, he gets the vote. Marjaa should go well but is 5lbs worse off with Oratory. STREET POWER is a little bit big at around 25 – 28/1 and gets the second vote.
