IT’S the final day of the Royal Ascot meeting with everything from the top sprinters in action to the stamina laden stayers in the extended two and three-quarter mile Queen Alexandra Stakes, the finale to a week of amazing Festival racing.

There may well be a field of 16 set to line up in the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes at 3.40 but I fancy that the Australian raider ARTORIUS can improve on his third in the race last year when he got into all sorts of trouble.

That was due in the main to his lack of pace through the first half of the race, and also not getting the clearest passage through the final two and a half furlongs. His shrewd handlers, the Freedmans, also feel he has managed to up his game this year with a bit more tactical speed and that could be the screw turner, and at a top price of 9/2 he is surely going to be hard to keep out of the finish.
