The Weekend Winners team returns to highlight the major races at the Shergar Cup meeting, with all the action showcased live on ECNETNews.
Host Anthony Ennis leads a panel featuring experts from the industry, who will provide their top betting picks for this weekend’s Shergar Cup at Ascot.
The discussion will delve into the key Shergar Cup Challenge handicap, where top contenders Truthful and Insanity are neck-and-neck in the market.
A panelist commented, "I’m siding with Truthful here. The ride she had last time out at Newmarket indicated she was being set up for the Shergar Cup. Despite being out of her element on the July course, she performed admirably in a strong fillies and mares race won by a notable competitor.
"She’s well-rated at 95, comes from a reputable stable, and there’s potential for more improvement. This is a significant day for syndicates at Ascot, and I’m optimistic that Truthful will perform well under Hayley Turner."
Another analyst remarked, "I’m favoring Cracksking. While he hasn’t won on turf yet, his recent performance at Kempton suggests he needed more time after his prior win. He has the potential to improve over longer distances, and with an excellent trainer like James Fanshawe and skilled jockey Tadhg O’Shea onboard, I believe he stands a strong chance at 6/1."
A third expert added, "Truthful is also my pick. The stable she is with is currently performing exceptionally well with a 42% strike rate, which is impressive. I think the odds of 11/2 are substantial, and I’d be surprised if Truthful doesn’t open as the clear favorite."
