On the day:
SECOND WIND 2.30 – Ascot (11/1 each way) – Made a winning start in professional style at Yarmouth and then showed improved form to follow up under a penalty at Salisbury (5f) just 19 days ago. In excellent hands and should go on improving.
A good race for the fancied runners and the market leaders are again the ones to be studying. Mark Johnston and been very bullish about EYE OF HEAVEN. GOLDEN PAL, LIPIZZANA and THE LIR JET head the opposition.
Keith's final choice
EYE OF HEAVEN 14:25 Ascot 7/4 – Mark Johnston has been very bullish about this colt who looked good when winning on debut at Newmarket and should show significant improvement for that run.
How it fared
EYE OF HEAVEN 9th – Broke well enough from the stalls but didn't appear to like the going. Eased when beaten.
To be certain of getting Keith's final thoughts on every Royal Ascot race, make sure you have joined the FRT VIP Club.
This is what Keith said about the 2019 Norfolk Stakes:
Leading Contenders
PISTOLETTO 11/2 – Two wins from two. Was a game winner at Naas in May, met plenty of trouble in running and stayed on really well under pressure despite being bumped.
MONARCH OF EGYPT 6/1 – Pushed clear on debut and clearly has plenty more to offer.
VENTURA REBEL 13/2 – Unbeaten colt. Won over course and distance at the beginning of May beating the speedy American raider LADY PAULINE
MAVEN 7/1 – Trained in the USA by Wesley Ward. Once raced winner on the tight course at Aqueduct. Will find Ascot very different.
My selection for the race is PISTOLETTO 11/2, who would have won more clearly last time with a clear passage. However the only runner out of Keith’s Antepost selections was VENTURA REBEL – advised at 13/2 and drifted to 16/1
What our members tipped in the 2019 Norfolk Stakes
Each day we ask our members to select their Pick 6, their NAP for each race of the day. We then collate all the picks, and present the top selections to our VIP members.
Race One | 2:30pm – Norfolk Stakes
It's CADAMOSTO that just edges it here for the AP O'Brien/Ryan Moore combo with 22.7% of your selections.
Next best is NAKATOMI which has drifted in the markets out to 12/1 currently – with 21.1% of the selections it could be one to watch. GO BEARS GO the only other worthy of a mention.
1 Perfect Power 14/1
2 Go Bears Go 6/1
3 Project Dante 6/1
15 ran
1 The Lir Jet 9/2
2 Golden Pal 12/1
3 Imperial Force 15/2
12 ran NR: Emirati Dirham, Get It
Distances: nk, 3l, 2½l Time: 1m 1.55s (slow by 2.55s)
1 A'Ali 5/1
2 Ventura Rebel 16/1
3 Dubai Station 14/1
14 ran NR: Maven Distances: nk, 2¾l, nk
Our Verdict
A’Ali made a show at 2 furlongs out, and managed to clinche the win from an ever pressing Ventura Rebel, who looked strong to win, if only there was a few feet more. The consolation is that Keith’s selection, advised at each way, drifted from it’s early price of 13/2 all the way out to 16/1 so lots of value to be had at your Best Odds Guaranteed Bookies. The members favourite Sunday Sovereign faded after being amongst the front runners at the start to finish in 8th place from 13 runners.
