Lady Aurelia pleased
trainer Wesley Ward with her work at Keeneland as she prepares for a crack at
her third consecutive Royal Ascot victory.
The four-year-old Scat Daddy filly
won the Group Two Queen Mary Stakes in 2016 and the Group One King's Stand
Stakes last year, brilliantly, the same race in which she is getting ready for
next month (June 19). On Tuesday she worked four
furlongs on a firm turf course in 48.80 seconds, her second piece of work since
she opened her 2018 campaign on April 14 in Keeneland’s Giant’s Causeway and
finished second behind Triple Chelsea.
Henry Candy
is optimistic Limato can make it third-time lucky over a mile in the Al Shaqab
Lockinge at Newbury on Saturday.
The six-year-old, who finished fourth
in the Group One in 2016, has not run over the trip since finishing down the
field at the Breeders' Cup later that year.
Having ended last season with victory
in a Group Two at Newmarket, the gelded son of Tagula continued his Lockinge
preparations with a solo five-furlong gallop on Tuesday under rider Harry
Bentley.
Candy said: "It is hard to judge
how they go when they are on their own. The only relevant thing is what Harry
says, and he was very happy with him.
"He has done an awful lot of
work on the carpet gallop, which is far too easy for getting a horse fit, but
it just keeps him ticking over.

O’Brien expects Saxon Warrior to show significant improvement from the QIPCO
2000 Guineas when he runs in the Investec Derby next month.
Talking to the punter, he said:
"The plan with going to Newmarket, and with the Derby in mind, we didn't
want to start over seven furlongs. We thought a mile at Newmarket was going to
be a lovely start-off for him. Obviously we were very happy with him.
Everything's good so far. We could not have been happier with Saxon because
there's an awful lot of improvement to come. It'll be exciting to see.
"We've always thought he was
going to be a middle-distance horse, rather than Guineas horse. He's a big colt
- he wears his head low. He's a good traveller and he seems balanced. He didn't
have any problems at Newmarket with the dip. We're very happy with him. Ryan
Moore will ride him as he's the number one rider and that's the way it is.
Cracksman could take the place of stable companion
Enable in the Investec Coronation Cup at Epsom.
US Navy Flag could
head for the Tattersalls Irish 2,000 Guineas at the Curragh following his
"inconclusive" run in Sunday's French equivalent at ParisLongchamp. US
Navy Flag is likely to be joined in the Irish Guineas by stablemate Gustav Klimt.
The Galileo colt could only finish sixth behind Saxon Warrior in the Newmarket
Guineas and O'Brien hopes he can raise his game at the Curragh on Saturday
week.
Australian Group One winner Merchant Navy is an exciting addition to the three-year-old ranks at
Ballydoyle and is being prepared for an appearance at Royal Ascot next month.
"He is in good form and he is getting ready to go to
Ascot," said O'Brien
The Ballydoyle juvenile team being considered for the Royal meeting
includes last month's runaway Navan scorer Sergei Prokofiev.
O'Brien said: "The plan is to run him again. It could be at Naas over six
furlongs or the Curragh over five. He will then race in either the Coventry or
one of the five-furlong races at Royal Ascot."
Aidan
O'Brien plans to run Rhododendron and Lancaster Bomber in the Al Shaqab Lockinge
Stakes at Newbury on Saturday.
