Royal Ascot Fourth Ready To Make Amends
Feel Free To Back This One With Conditions Ideal
If this year’s Queen Mary had been confined to the eight horses who raced on the side away from the stands we would probably have an odds-on shot in the Chasemore Farm Dragon Stakes this afternoon in the form of LIBERTY BEACH. The daughter of Cable Bay actually finished fourth to Raffle Prize, beaten under three lengths, but was first, running on really well, of the far-side group. It was an impressive performance and backed up the two wins she had achieved at Redcar and Beverley, the latter an impressive win in the Hilary Needler from previous winner and subsequent Chesham mid-div performer ROSE OF KILDARE. The ground at Ascot had plenty of give and today’s is good to firm but her two wins came on such a surface, whilst her draw and Sandown’s uphill finish will suit her hold-up style of racing.MAKYON, another Royal Ascot runner when beaten about five lengths in the Coventry looks the main danger, though Wednesday’s winner, the wonderfully named BILL NEIGH, could get a place at 33/1. Liberty Beach’s easily found 5/2 should be taken. G Lees
