Saturday sees some of the greatest sprinters in the world turning up on the final day of Royal Ascot for the valuable Golden Jubilee Stakes. The confident choice, and a horse who already has ‘superstar’ stamped all over him is DELEGATOR. The one-time 2000 Guineas hot favourite has found a new lease of life since turning his hand to sprinting and looked very special when winning the Group 3 Duke of York Stakes at York during the Dante meeting. He will have wonder-boy jockey Mikael Barzalona on board, and should take all the beating.
AWAIT THE DAWN has been the dark horse in the Ballydoyle stable this season. When it comes to older middle distance horses, they have an embarrassment of riches with Group one winners such as Cape Blanco, St Nicholas Abbey and the Australian superstar So You Think. However, Await the Dawn has shown class, winning a Group 3 in Ireland, before looking even better when winning another Group 3, this time at the Chester, bolting up by 4 1/2 lengths. Given how well the Ballydoyle runners progress race to race, there should be more to come, and with Ryan Moore on board, it looks easy pickings in a field that lacks serious depth.
MAYBE is another two year old that looks to have bags of promise for trainer Aidan O' Brien and Aidan will be hopeful of taking another two year old race back home across the Irish Sea when the daughter of Galileo runs in the Chesham Stakes. An impressive winner on her debut, she pulverised a field at Naas, winning by 4 1/2 lengths. The form looks rock solid, with the Jim Bolger trained Teolane, who has since won a maiden and listed race.
2.30 Ascot - Maybe
3.05 Ascot - Await the Dawn (Nap)
3.45 Ascot - Delegator
