Queen Elizabeth II Stakes Tips
On paper this looks to be a very uncompetitive renewal of the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes.
The only danger to odds on joly, PALACE PIER, looks to be the French raider THE REVENANT.
How Did We Do?
Keith's message to VIP Members on raceday was:
PALACE PIER 4/6 – Unbeaten and getting better with every run. Possibly the best bet of the day but no value at 4/6, French raider THE REVENENT will keep hi honest and NAZEEF might just be the best of the rest.
THE REVENENT did more than keep PALACE PIER honest when he clung on to win by a head from 28/1 ROSEMAN. PALACE PIER finished third eased down by Frankie Dettori after losing a shoe, the jockey was concerned there was a more serious problem when the colt lost his action.
