A race containing three 5/2 co-favourites may not seem the most attractive betting prospect, but when we consider the doubts about some of the principals in this year’s Coronation Stakes, it could have the shape of a decent ante-post betting scenario.


The Coronation is the natural target for 1000 Guineas winners who are not stepping up in trip to tackle the likes of the Oaks, which takes place less than two weeks before.


This year’s impressive Guineas winner Minding is seemingly taking the Epsom route, and it would be a surprise to see her show up at Royal Ascot at all, considering that along with the Irish Guineas, in which she was second, she is set to contest three classics in just over a month.


Minding’s three-and-a-half length win in the Guineas sets the standard here, but with her participation looking somewhat unlikely, she is certainly worth taking on from an ante-post point of view.


Guineas second Ballydoyle, who was better than the bare result at Newmarket after being caught further back than ideal and having to barge her way out, could be the answer, though it is a slight concern that she missed the Irish Guineas due to unsatisfactory blood results, and she is reportedly not ready to take up her entry in the Oaks, either.


Aidan O’Brien has mentioned that Royal Ascot (this is her only entry) or the French version of the Oaks will be Ballydoyle’s next target, but given the prior setbacks she has suffered, and the fact she has another option, make her opposable at her current price for the Coronation.


The third member of the trio of current ante-post favourites for the Coronation Stakes is Nemoralia, and with no doubts about her wellbeing or participation – her owner said after her impressive listed win at York: “We will go to the Coronation Stakes next at Royal Ascot and see how we go before going on to win the Breeders’ Cup” – she could be the one to be with.


Nemoralia was an eye-catching third on her final two-year-old start in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf (came with a strong late challenge and probably should have won), and made amends for that loss with a career-best effort on her three-year-old debut, winning a seven-runner listed race at York’s Dante meeting impressively by six lengths.


If neither Minding or Ballydoyle run in the Coronation, Nemoralia should be very hard to beat and with Irish 1000 Guineas winner Jet Setting seemingly unlikely to get the testing conditions which she is so effective on at Ascot in June, Nemoralia looks the bet at this stage in the Coronation Stakes.
