Common Wealth Cup —today’s Highlight At Ascot

By S C Sharma | 18-Jun-2020

     Till now wonderful week at Royal Ascot so far and despite weather threats there will be no let-up in the quality and excitement on the track as races move into day four today . As expected the 6 yr Stradivarius completed hat trick of wins winning Ascot Gold Cup a prestigious long distance race third time in row with wide margin. Today's highlight is the Common Wealth Cup a group I blockbuster sprint over six furlong with participation of 17 three year olds youngsters from UK,Ireland and USA among them performance of no 14 Kilmari and no 6 Pierre Lapin will be of great interest. Weather reported to be cloudy with light rain chances. My picks are as follows: 

1) no 7 Art Power having good credentials and with J S Dsousa in saddle having a upper hand in a big field of 22 runners.

2) no 10 Setarhe, no 9 Mother Earth.

3) no 4 Eye of Heaven, no 9 Lipizanne.

4) no 2 Another Van Dyck, no 7 Elarqam.

5) Today's main event Coomon Wealth Cup  -- no 14 Kilmari, no 6 Pierre Lapin.

6) no 2 Berkshire Rocco, no 9 Born With Pride.

7) no 3 West End Charmer, no 9 Durston.

    My thanks to Sinndaar for his compliments. Success percentage ratio at International racing is low because of my inexperience at International racing.  Still learning and working hard. Wishing Lalwaniji, Chennai happy, peaceful and prosperous birthday with tons of good luck and duwaas. Wishing everyone enjoyable racing . Good day and good luck.  God bless you all.

The feature of the day is the Commonwealth Cup(Group!) to be run over 6 furlongs (1200 mtrs); for 3 years old only. The weather is expected to be fair and the Godd but not firm. My Picks :

1. 5 furlong dash-Art Power(7)-looks good on form-Pl. Dancing in the street(2);

2. 6 furlongs- Babies(2 years old only)-Mother Earth(9). Pl Setarle(10)- Jockey Ryan Moore has done little this week- great chance for him o score.

3. 5 f dash- Babies(2 years)- Eye of Heaven(4) V Lippizanner(9). Pl.The Lir Jet(13);

4. 2200 mtrs-Antony Van Dyck((2)(last year's Epsom Derby winner) with jockey Ryan Morre in the saddle will be the one to beat. Pl Defoe(4)(which I quietly fancy1);

5. 1200 mtrs-Commonweath Cup(Group1)- Lopey Fernandez(4). Pl Kimari(14);

6. 2800 mtrs-tough race- Al Dabaran(1)(running with blinkers for the 1st time) e/w; &

7. 2400 mtrs-West End Charmer(3)(giving jockey Bill Buicl a chance for a back o back). Pl El Misk(2).
