The Classics with Wick

This week-end we reach the high point of the flat season with the Oaks on Friday and the
Derby on Saturday.The possibility of softer ground is causing some trainers to rethink before
committing their horses. The odds-on favourite Authorized will not be troubled by the going,and
his price could be 6-4 or shorter by the off.The second favourite Aqaleem around 7-1 or 8-1 and
has done a good final work out maybe a good each way bet.Although the Frankie factor is attracting a lot of money for Authorized, his mount in the Oaks on Friday,Measured Tempo, is
around 7-1.In the Coronation Cup he rides hot favourite Sixties Icon, here Maraahel at 7-1 is a
good each way bet. Next week we have Royal Ascot with plenty of good prices, and winners, if you can find them. More about that later.

Tuesdays Racing with Wick.

On Saturday we have the biggest race of the flat season, the Epsom Derby and we are cerrain to
have an odds-on favourite. Since his emphatic win in the Dante at York Authorized price has
gradually shortened and is now evens and 10-11.
Aqaleem is a good each way bet at between 8-1 and 12-1. We have four flat meetings on Tuesday at Chepstow,Leicester,Redcar and Sandown(ev) andHexham(ev) over the jumps
A couple of good prospects for Tuesday Penang Cinta 4-10 Chepstow and Murbek 3-45 at
