2016 Queen Anne Stakes Betting Tips PT 1

The Big Race to kick off the 2016 Royal Ascot meeting is always the Queen Anne Stakes and this year's iteration of the race appears to indicate that we are shaping up for an absolute classic renewal. In a contest that usually features the world's top contenders at the one-mile distance we have a very open betting Market with a lot of opportunities to make some money for bettors who get it right.

There has been lots of concern over the going and the weather conditions as it could be absolutely crucial for number of contenders depending on how wet or dry the surfaces at Ascot racecourse.

There are three horses that appear to be the standout selections and are taking the bulk of the action with all of them trading in the range of 4 / 1 all the way up to a 6 / 1 price tag as we build up towards the race itself.  Ervedya, who is owned by the Aga Khan, is currently trading as the Top Choice in the market with a listing of around 4/1 with most major bookmakers.

Having campaigned exclusively in France so far,  this will be an interesting option for the French contender who will be looking to build on a second-place showing in a group two contest last time out as his seasonal debut.

Godolphin have entered the speedy contender Belardo in here and he's trading at a 9/2 margin with the majority of European bookmakers. He has a lot of talent and is very capable of building up on the smashing group one victory that he just racked up  in the Lockinge Stakes at Newbury.
