Moon Can Shine At Ascot

Some cracking racing on today, with a host of pattern races across three different tracks. They are all devilishly difficult looking races for punters though, and the horse I am interested in goes in the big handicap at Ascot.

Majestic Moon won on his last visit to Acot, beating Suzis Connoisseur by half a length over 7f on good to soft ground. It was a smashing effort, especially when you consider he has a clear preference for faster ground. That win came off 97 and he was held off 102 in the Gold Cup at Ayr. That was over 6f though, and he hadn't won over that trip since 2012.

He remains off the same mark today and while he will need a career beat to win he could well produce it. His draw in stall 11will give his jockey Michael Murphy options, and he also is better off at the weights with Mr.Win, who he conceded a pound to and beat at Newmarket. He gets 4lb off that rival today, yet he is almost three times his price. I think he looks well worth a small e/w interest in a wide open race.

STEVOS' SELECTION: 3.45 ASCOT MAJESTIC MOON (25/1) E/W
