Royal Ascot - Australasian Interest Day Three

Breednet - Thursday Jun 17

Fastnet Rock has a strong hand with two top chances at Royal Ascot on Thursday while Rosemont Stud will be eagerly watching the four runners for Starspangledbanner.

Fastnet Rock has strong representation at Royal Ascot on Thursday.

Fastnet Rock has the favourite in the Group 3 Hampton Court Stakes with the three year-old colt Movin Time, coming off an impressive last start easy win at Newmarket.

Then he has the three year-old filly Twisted Reality, a 9/1 chance in the Group 2 Ribblesdale Stakes, coming off a nice season resumption where she looked open to improvement and she had been most impressive winning on debut last season when very green in the run.
