Today is the fifth and final day of Royal Ascot 2020. There are three Gr1 races on the programme.
The Gr1 St James’s Palace Stakes sees the 2,000 Guineas form put to the test with runner-up WICHITA and third home PINATUBO clashing in a fascinating contest that also sees PALACE PIER being asked to step up and THREAT returning from a lengthy absence.
Hollywoodbets Neil Morrice writes that Wichita was the money horse in the Classic but couldn’t get to Kameko, while last year’s supreme champion juvenile Pinatubo lost his unbeaten record with a creditable run in third, giving him a length to make up on the Aidan O’Brien-trained second.
In a different type of contest run round a bend there’s every chance that the formbook may be challenged. Pinatubo has a good chance to turn the tables on Wichita, while having to contend with another tough opponent in Threat.
