Queen Anne Stakes Tips Royal Ascot Tuesday
Its Day 1 at Royal Ascot today and we have all the selections from Tuesday.
The first race is the Queen Anne Stakes at 2.30pm.
Modern Games is aiming to achieve back-to-back victories in the Lockinge-Queen Anne, emulating the success of the previous winners Baaeed and Palace Pier.
With a strong recent performance at the track (finishing behind Bayside Boy on champions day), a preference for fast ground, and an impressive track record, Modern Games appears to be the frontrunner.
The last two Lockinge winners, Baaeed and Palace Pier, have both gone on to secure further victories, making it unlikely for any competitors from the Lockinge to reverse the form.
Inspiral, known for her exceptional win at Royal Ascot last year, also demonstrates great potential.
Thriving in fresh conditions, warm weather, fast ground, and a strong pace, she has shown promising results.
The yard’s recent success with Emily Upjohn further adds to Inspiral’s appeal.
Among the other contenders, the front two hold a slight advantage over Native Trail and the rest, with Native Trail showing promise as a three-year-old but facing doubts due to recent performance issues.
Chindit, Mutasaabeq, Light Infantry, and Triple Time finished behind Modern Games in their previous encounter and may improve in the future, but they have yet to prove themselves capable of reversing the form.
Considering the race dynamics, which seem to favor a strong pace, it is likely that several horses will compete fiercely.
This could potentially lead to a pace collapse, benefiting hold-up performers like Modern Games and Inspiral.
Both horses have the credentials to excel in these conditions, with Modern Games displaying solid form and Inspiral showcasing her ability when in top shape.
If neither of them delivers, there is a possibility of an unexpected winner in this race.
Modern Games and Inspiral set the standard in terms of form, suitability for the track, and preference for fast ground.
If forced to choose one, Modern Games is the safer option, consistently performing well and thriving under favorable conditions.
Inspiral, on the other hand, poses a greater risk due to the potential for a slow start, but she has the capability to deliver an impressive performance, as demonstrated in her remarkable victory at last year’s Royal Ascot.
