L'head Eagle Royal Ascot Day 5

[l'head eagle]

Last day, not sure if I am glad or sad.

2.30 - Johnny Rook
Is entitled to come on bundles from FTO. I think he could go close with improvement over the extra furlong.

3.05 - Maraahel
Macarthur looks like a good thing and should be a banker. But he does throw in a bad one now and then, so Maraahel could be the one. Comes alive at the track and would have been trained for this.

3.45 - US Ranger
Is classy and bundles of potential. Interesting he is the pick over 2 very good animals in Myboycharlie and Astronomer Royal, big things must be expected. I hope he could be the new sprint star of 2008. No end of dangers and Takeover Target is the one to beat.

4.25 - Prime Defender
Is such a compressed handicap, weight is not such a factor. Prime Defender has form and at a price could go close.

5.00 - Sugar Ray
Tentative selection but looks the type to maybe progress to maybe group races.

5.35 - Distinction
Honolulu may just laugh at these but the distance is a great leveler. Distinction seems in good heart and the stable know the score with older horses and this race.

Good Luck

Well thats Royal Ascot over with. Made loads on the first day and just survived the next 4. 6 winners in all, 5/1, 8/1, 20/1, 4/1, 11/2 and 8/1. Should have had a lot more if I went with my head and backed a few of the good things but thats the way it goes !!

[Win2Win]

Great finish to the last race. Icing on the cake of what was an outstanding meeting.

The meeting had it all. Would have been good if Henry Cecil had a winner but he will get chances in the years to come.
