Royal Ascot Tuesday June 19th

[Kitan]

Race 1:
#10 Recoletos: Thought of highly enough to be tried against Cracksman and has stepped it up a notch this season.
#3 Benbatl: Really flourished in Dubai and if he keeps that form he'll be tough to beat, even if this is a bit shorter.
#8 Lord Glitters: Progressive type that handles the track---he won from an impossible position on Champions Day.
#1 Accidental Agent: Ran a sneaky race behind these in the Lockinge. Had to wait for the gap to appear and closed well from thereon in.
#15 is the deserved fav and I'll use her underneath, but she got a dream trip and scenario last out (drawn beside the stablemates who towed her into the race beautifully) that I can't see happening again.

Race 2:
#23 The Irish Rover
#7 Calyx
#20 Sergei Prokofiev
#14 Indigo Balance

Race 3:
#1 Battaash: Gave away 5lbs first off the layoff, blew the start, and still won. 4yo looks a quality sprinter.
#2 Blue Point: Ertijaal is almost unbeatable at 5f at Meydan and he ran right with him first-up. Ignoring the HK run as Euro sprinters have a terrible record there and that was Plan B after being a gate SCR as the fav on DWC night.
#11 Mabs Cross: Very respectable close 4th when trying this company for the first time and can continue to improve.
#10 Lady Aurelia: Doesn't get the 3yo weight allowance this year (up 6lbs) and has not been in the same type of form since. Loves this course but looks vulnerable.
#8 has never been tried in this class and it's a big ask, but he's very consistent and with a clean break, which he didn't get last time, could blow up the exotics.

Race 4:
#10 Wootton: Had quite the trip last time when he wouldn't settle and pulled himself around them wide. Had beat the winner of that race (and subsequent French Derby fav) in the earlier prep. Will probably need to rate off an O'Brien runner but looks good value at around 6-1.
#9 Without Parole: Comes with a lot of hype but this is a giant step in class. Maybe be a bit much too soon.
#7 Tip Two Win: Has really progressed well and that run last out at 50-1 was no fluke.
#4 Kings Shield

Race 5:
#17 Meri Devie
#12 Lagostovegas
#14 Kloud Gate
#1 Whiskey Sour

Race 6:
#9 Laraaib: 1st and 3rd from last run in a G1 on Wednesday. 4yo should improve even more second off the shelf.
#13 Sharja Bridge
#4 Mirage Dancer
#2 Monarchs Glen

Good luck!

Thank you for reaffirming another opinion I was relying upon. Accidental Agent was a brilliant play! Of course, thank you Steve for making all this possible.

Thanks guys, there were some nice prices and payouts. Can't wager on UK races from where my Canadian account is based and no P4 on the overseas channels. Oh well!
