The Keys to success

Today sees some good action at the UK's best two racecourses - Ascot during the day & York for an evening meeting. We have a couple of selections that should take all the beating plus another that will potentially blow its rivals out of the water.

Starting with York in the 7.30 Fillies Listed contest we find Sajjha running for Saeed bin Suroor and Frankie Dettori is making the trip up to York to steer her home following his one ride at Ascot. bin Suroor started the season slowly and Godolphin's other trainer al Zarooni has somewhat left him in the shade with Blue Bunting's Classic successes but the stable is back in the groove now with 5 winners from 21 runners and another 6 in the top 3 in those races. Sajjha went off favourite for a Group 2 at Ascot last time and should have the class and turn of foot to put these rivals to the sword.

At Ascot we're hoping that trainer Roger Charlton has a good day and take Primevere to land what is another Listed Fillies race in the 3.20, she's top rated and was unlucky to run into the useful Nahrain last time. This is a weak race for a Listed race and her only real danger comes from Winter's Night and maybe Soorah, already having shown the level of form necessary she is by Singspiel and so should be improving with experience in what is just her 5th start.

Charlton should definitely be celebrating after the 3.55 2 mile handicap where his runner Keys runs under a 6 pound penalty against some nice enough types, unfortunately being nice enough will not be enough against this beast of a horse. Jamie Spencer teams up again with Keys just 6 days after showboating his way to victory having long looks around and a few concillatory words with the jockeys pumping away on the horses behind. Keys would have been a serious contender for the Cheltenham Festival Bumper before injury ruined those plans and is 10 pounds well in today - the handicapper put him up 16 pounds for that latest victory but today he only has the penalty to contend with. Charlton wouldn't turn him out quickly without good reason, take heed and get your savings on this one, odds against shouldn't stand up for long.

Selections:
7.30 York - Sajjha Evs
3.20 Ascot - Primevere 7/4
3.55 Ascot - Keys 6/5
Treble on above pays 12/1
