Royal Ascot Thursday June 21st

[Kitan]

Race 1:
#3 Kinks: Last race was his first time coming from off the pace, and he'll have gained valuable experience that day. Got a clear run too late but still kept on decently.
#9 Vintage Brute: Did all that was required in a Listed victory last out and was a private purchase for £280k just a few days ago.
#10 Shang Shang Shang: Filly takes on the boys and Ward has only won this once, but if she shows 44 and change speed again she'll be clear in the lead and tough to run down.
#1 Charming Kid

Race 2:
#16 Zaaki: Showed decent ability last year but got a huge trainer change to Stoute over the winter. Gave away ~9+lbs to the field last time, and the winner of that has not been disgraced in two subsequent starts.
#4 Hunting Horn: Was much bigger odds than #5 last out but was the best of the two. Caught 2-3 wide without cover around the track and only capitulated in the last 100m.
#14 Vintager
#10 Nordic Lights

Race 3:
#10 Sun Maiden: 3yo filly crop hasn't been looking the strongest and Stoute is not one to just throw them to the wolves.
#6 Magic Wand: Should see a better performance from her on fast ground.
#1 Wild Illusion: Had every chance last time and has a 3lbs penalty this time around.
#2 Athena

Race 4:
#9 Stradivarius: The newcomer to this division got close to #2 last year and returned better than ever.
#6 Vazirabad: Represents the potential value in the race, as he is yet to be tried against this class in the UK.
#2 Order of St George: Won this two years ago and just nosed out last year. Can easily win this, I've just taken a chance with some new faces.
#5 Torcedor

Race 5:
#27 Corrosive: Reeled off three in a row and stays low in the weights.
#28 Simpson: Lost first run behind a few of his rivals today when stuck behind a wall. Better off in the weights and on the odds board.
#29 Ostilio
#3 Lethal Steps
#19 George of Hearts

#13 Cassini
#16 Corgi
#11 First Eleven
#1 Dubhe
