Diamond Jubilee Stakes (Group 1) (6f)
IF she is able to reproduce her Australian form, where she has been barely troubled on her way to 21 consecutive victories, then wondermare Black Caviar will be utterly different class to her challengers in the Diamond Jubilee Stakes. Indeed, such is her theoretical superiority that several bookmakers are almost double figure odds about all the 14 rivals she will line up against in the race over six furlongs. Generally a best priced 3-10, the Peter Moody-trained superstar has little to prove but everything to lose as she puts her untarnished record on the line at Royal Ascot.

Black Caviar Rated only second to Frankel with Timeform’s rating of 136, and a win here will only enhance her claim as the world’s best sprinter. More rain means that it now seems certain to produce the softest track which she has ever raced but trainer remains confident she will handle any going. Regular rider Luke Nolen warmed up on the track with a fourth in the King’s Stand on Tuesday and will be extremely hard to beat here.
Society Rock Won this race a year ago after finishing second in 2010 and certainly on paper, looks best of the domestic defence. Just held in third on pleasing reappearance this season in Group 2 at York last month but expected to strip fitter for that run and this dual Ascot winner must be taken seriously nevertheless in his bid to follow up.
Moonlight Cloud Another overseas challenger and high-class filly who beat Society Rock by four lengths in last year’s Prix Maurice de Gheest. Was equally impressive on her return at Longchamp last month in a Group 3 over slightly further (7f ) and looks one of the more likely ones if Black Caviar is to be beaten here.
Krypton Factor Bahrain-trained Dubai Golden Shaheen winner who has rarely been seen out of the places at Meydan this year. However, he was beaten at odds against in Singapore last month in soft conditions and more rain would hinder his chances here; and likely he will to have to settle for minor honours.

All the rage is about the Aussie wondermare and it is typically hard to see anything beating the Peter Moody-trained BLACK CAVIAR if she is able to reproduce the form of her 21 races at home. Moonlight Cloud looks the most likely danger from overseas and if there is to be an upset she might cause it while Society Rock usually puts his best foot forward at Ascot and can scoop the minor honours.
