Paul Ferguson two selections from Royal Ascot for us on Friday; Crystal Ocean at 3:05 and Caravaggio in the 3:40.
Third behind Permian in the Dante at York last month CRYSTAL OCEAN (3:05) can reverse form and land the King Edward VII Stakes for Sir Michael Stoute.
A maiden winner at Nottingham on reappearance, the Sea The Stars colt ought to relish the step up in trip on Friday and he is a half-brother to 2013 winner Hillstar.
Despite the Commonwealth Cup looking a deep race on paper, I expect CARAVAGGIO (3:40) to maintain his unbeaten record.
The winner of the Coventry at last year’s meeting, he made it five from five with a taking success on reappearance at Naas last month and he looks a top-class sprinter in the making.
The same connections’ Winter is going to be very difficult to beat in the Coronation Stakes, but the dual 1,000 Guineas heroine is priced up accordingly.
Friday’s selections:
3:05 Royal Ascot – Crystal Ocean; 3/1 Betfred
3:40 Royal Ascot – Caravaggio;evens Skybet
