Royal Ascot Tips: Brazen Beau

Royal Ascot Tips: Brazen Beau

Australian horses have a good record in Ascot sprints and Brazen Beau is one of the best of the current crop.

As an avid sprint fan, the Diamond Jubilee (4.20) is usually one of my favourite races of the year but it’s hard to muster much enthusiasm for the local challenge. If I had to pick one it would be Lucky Kristale but that pretty much sums up the state of affairs.

The foreign raiders have picked up on this and Brazen Beau could hack up (in sprint terms) if repeating the form he showed in Australia.

Over the years, Royal Ascot has worked hard to encourage international runners and that has paid dividends in the sprints.

They key form line is the Newmarket Handicap at Flemington. Five of the last ten winners have tried their hand in Royal Ascot sprints with the likes of Takeover Target, Miss Andretti, Scenic Blast and Black Caviar all winning either the King’s Stand or Diamond Jubilee.

Brazen Beau attempts to follow in their footsteps in the 4.20 contest. He won at Flemington by 2.75 lengths, is unbeaten in his last three 6f starts and is a touch big at 4/1 (Ladbrokes).
