Summer, bah humbug.
Ended up heavy at York yesterday so no financial interest.
Non today either with more rain around & just the one Group race at Ascot.
Summer Mile
8f Group2
4yo+
Ramonti & Elusive Warning have 4stars
Archipenko has 3stars
Doubts about Ramonti on his first start this term after injury & Elusive Warning on his first go on turf coupled with their stable not exactly pulling up trees, at this level anyway.
Archipenko is an O'Brien cast off with figures scewed by big returns from races at Nad al Sheba & Sha Tin & looked nowt special on tuf last season.
Of the rest only Cesare looks up to this having won this last year & has good course form, although not really at this level.
Now if someone were to offer a decent price (2-3/1) that Spencer cocks it up somehow then I might be interested, but 13/8 to win!!
Working last night & I'm off to bed
Back tomorrow where we have the prospect of a three times run maiden starting favourite for the Irish Oaks
Rio.
