Royal Ascot Day 4 - Coronation Stakes Day

Hope you are doing well and sorry for a poor Thursday, Afsare apart. 2.30 (Albany) - RADHARCNAFARRIDGE (win) was very impressive when winning the Nass Sprint Stakes; With no penalty for that win she can go close in an open race for the grade.

MEMORY (each/way) is my another major contender. Her win on AW was really good and she's well regarded, just like Hooray can also go close as she did the same as Memory first time up. 

3.05 (King Edward VII Stakes) - If AT FIRST SIGHT (win) is over his Derby run then he must take all the beating against this lot.  

That run is the best form and even earlier runs give him a big chance. Not too many in field look totally unexposed, with the excption of Green Moon. He is ready for a step up to this company, havong bolted up in the London Gold Cup and also a listed contest at Newnarket last time. Buzzword was well behind At 1st Sight in the Derby and will do well to get closer. Monterosso is 6lbs better off with Green Moon for the Newbury running but the latter has really progressed convincingly and may just have improved past him.

Togiak, Wasset, and Artic Cosmos have it all to do so Bullet Train could be main threat, having already bolted up in Group 3 company before not handling the track in the Derby.  

3.05 (Coronation) - Anna Salai is good place to start, as she was an excllent 2nd in the Irish 1,000 last time (after quickening brilliantly to take a French Group 3) & may have hit the front too soon.
With no Betrah here, she has a big chance today. Music Show ran another good race but had every chance behind Anna Salai in the Irish 1,000 last time, but still could be an each/way bet.  

LILLE LANGTRY (win) gets a tenative vote on the basis that she may just improve past the lot (Anna Salai, Music Show and the rest) for fitness (that being her first run back from an injury). She was held up too far back and also came too far wide so has plenty of reason to do better this time. Lady Of The Desert got no run in the French 1,000 Gns last time. Ailthough the form is good there was no pace that day - Stamina an issue?? 

EVADING TEMPETE (each/way) was a very good Italian Guineas winner at Capanelle last month when easily beating 18 rivals. She was also second to Joanna, ahead of Special Duty (hated ground and needed run) but will like faster ground. 

4.25 (Wolferton) - Rainbow Peak will go close but 2/1 makes no real appeal. I like the claims of TRAFFIC GAURD & EASTERN ARIA (each/way) as both are well weighted. 

5.00 (Queen's Vase) - Really hard to pick between Corisca (tranier has an amazing record in this) & MIKHAIL GLINKA (win) but the latter has Group 1 form and if staying will go close. 

Icon Dream's form is solid enough to take a hand, and so is Chink Of Light although they have to prove stamina for the trip. 

5.35 (Buckingham Palace H'Cap) - HIMALYA (each/way) ran a fine race from a crap draw last time. Best of the rest - Either Bangalore Gold, the well supported Treadwell (at least by tipsters) and Luca Cumani's well supported and progressive Day Of The Eagle.
