Wokingham Stakes Odds

June 19, 2009

The Wokingham Stakes is the most competitive of all 30 Royal Ascot races and despite its status as a Haritage Handicap it is the most popular race of the week for betting on. Twenty Eight runners stampeding over 6 Furlongs makes this a great race and such is the competitiveness of this race the odds on all runners are appealing to punters.

The shortest priced runner in Saturday’s race (4:25 on BBC1) is 11/2 and that is the favourite, Jimmy Styles a Clive Cox trainer horse thought to be ahead of the handicapper and providing he can navigate his way through this large field, should have a big chance of justifying the shorest price tag . Another horse thought to be well in at the weights and on an upward curve for trainer William Haggas is High Standing who is bidding for a hat trick of wins this season and is the 7/1 second favourite.

Our tip for this race though is ZIDANE who has an excellent record at Ascot, never disgracing himself on his six runs at the course and has the experience of running in big fields. He ran ran at Royal Ascot last year in the Group One Golden Jubilee Stakes, this year opting for the easier option of handicap company.  He has a 50% strike rate of making the places when running over six furlongs, making the 25/1 on offer at Paddy Power a cracking each way bet.
