2013 Royal Ascot Wednesday Betting Preview Part 2
- By A.J. Ryder on June 17, 2013 15:20 GMTThe second race of the day is the Group 2 Duke of Cambridge Stakes and we’ve only got a field of 11 to navigate here. There is plenty of form coming into it and the interesting option might be Duntle, who has taken four races on the bounce despite a DQ in her last effort.
That was a Group 1 contest and there was just a little bit too much interference down the lane for the liking of the stewards, which is what saw her get taken down. She has run very credibly in her native Ireland and has, in fact, won better races than this.

Look for the Danehill Dancer mare to move forward here and rattle off her second victory of the year.
Dank, a four-year-old Dansili mare trained by Sir Michael Stoute also makes her second start of the season and she looks to have plenty of credible claims with Ryan Moore returning for the mount after the tandem combined to take a Group 3 contest at Newmarket in early May. Now a multiple Group 3 winner, not many of her victories are by significant margins but this really appears to be a horse who knows how to find the line.
The fact that she is out of a Darshaan mare adds further credibility.
The 3:45 at Ascot is the day’s feature contest and this one really looks to be shaping up to be a classic. The 2013 Prince of Wale’s Stakes will be offering up plenty of interesting wagering options and the simple fact remains that there are probably six or seven horses with genuinely credible win claims despite this being a field of 11.
