Group 3 racing is on at Ascot this Saturday but they aren’t big fields.
One of those features is the Prince Of Wales Stakes and Valour Road brings in very good form lines.
The new season 4yo was very good through 2018 and then won the Euclase Stakes at Morphettville in what has turned out good form.
Maybe he was over the top in the Goodwood but then off a month break won the HG Bolton Sprint.
He now resumes with a great first up record and with the potential of some rain around, that would only help given he is unbeaten on that surface.
We will be looking for him to cross over and be near the front and controlling the tempo.
In the following race we are going to give Lady Sass one more go even though she has been beaten her last couple when well in the betting.
Don't forget she got all the way to the WA Oaks and Derby in March/April so finally stepping to 1800m is helpful.
She did race a lot closer two weeks ago and was not beaten all that far. It is a tricky start but best to roll over and try for that spot again.
This is hardly a strong race so she deserves another chance.
