Royal Ascot 2020 - Day Three
13:50 Wolferton Stakes (Listed Race)
Thursday at Royal Ascot doesn't look a big punting day for me but there's one at a big price I'm going to chance in the Wolferton in the shape of Extra Elusive. He was only beaten a head by the very useful Elarqam on his final start in 2019, with Royal Line and Fifth position in behind who have both advertised the form well since. After being gelded at the end of last year, Roger Charlton's son of Mastercraftsman was sent off a short price 5/2 for the Winter Derby Trial at Lingfield but he raced to freely andwasn't suited to the track there and may well appreciate the return to a longer straight here. Many firms are offering 4 places so I'll be having a few pennies each-way at 33/1.
Extra Elusive 33/1 - 0.5 Points Each-Way
14:25 Jersey Stakes
Another small stakes play here, Repartee is in my notebook courtesy of a huge run at Doncaster on his final run last season. He was fiercely keen and hampered in the early stages that day but impressively still had enough in the tank to put in a strong late run to finish second. This 7f trip should suit well and Kevin Ryan reports he has done well over the winter. One worry would be if the ground does get too deep for him, but with four places widely available the 25/1 looks worth chancing.
Repartee 25/1 - 0.5 Points Each-Way
