Giavellotto (IRE) won the 15:05 Ascot at SP 10.00. Ridden by Oisin Murphy. Trained by Marco Botti.
No — the AI top pick (Jan Brueghel) finished 4.
Top finishers: 1. Giavellotto (IRE) (10.00), 2. Kalpana (GB) (3.25), 3. Goliath (GER) (4.50).
The winning time was 2m 27.91s, 1.79s faster than standard.
Kalpana heads the field on our ratings and her record at this venue is exceptional, with two top-level victories to her name, and she arrives here still on an upward curve having held a fitter West Wind Blows at bay first time out — a run she should improve upon considerably. Ridden with more cover today, she can wear her rivals down in the straight over this twelve-furlong trip on ground that suits. Jan Brueghel, a dual Group 1 winner who ran respectably in the King George on ground easier than he wants, is the chief threat, with Goliath — who has top-class course-and-distance form on fast ground — and the progressive West Wind Blows also demanding respect. **Kalpana** is the selection.
Racing Post pick: Kalpana
