2013 Royal Ascot Wednesday Betting Preview Part 3

The interesting entry is The Fugue, a four-year-old bay or brown filly who lines up for John Gosden’s yard. She is unraced since being sent off as the favourite in the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare’s turf contest at Santa Anita last November. Clearly pointed at this race for quite some time and using it as a seasonal debut - you have to respect the connections here for making such an aggressive move.

She finished a credible second last year in the Ribblesdale Stakes before kicking on well to win the Group 1 Nassau Stakes at Glorious Goodwood. Andrew Lloyd-Webber’s four-year-old is by Dansili out of a Sadler’s Wells’ mare and has all of the pedigree and form to tangle with these elite colts and geldings. 

Punters will find The Fugue trading at 6/1 ante post. 

Camelot will obviously be getting the bulk of the attention from the betting public and is expected to go off at a very competitive price tag. Sheikh Hamdan saddles’ Mukhadram who enters off a score at Sandown in a Group 3 contest. This one will have to take a very serious step forward if he’s going to hit the board here but he may be popular for those looking for an outside contender.

The betting favourite at the moment appears to be Al Kazeem, who trades at a 5/2 price having just defeated the well-fancied Camelot in the Tattersall’s Irish Gold Cup at the Curragh back in late May. This contender is undefeated this year and looks good moving forward off of his first Group 1 win.
