Steven Arnold will ride Star Witness in the Golden Jubilee Stakes.
Danny O'Brien's top sprinter Star Witness is second favorite at 9/2 for Saturday night's big sprint at Royal Ascot, the Golden Jubilee Stakes 1200m. Favorite for the race is the Godolphin star Delegator 4/1. Star Witness is backing up after his bold 2nd in the 1000m King's Stand Stks on Tuesday. The popular At The Races website says: 'Star Witness ran a cracker in the King's Stand Stakes on the opening day and should be even more effective over the sixth furlong. He's better drawn than the filly (Hooray 10/1) on evidence to date and is worth a saver.'
Timeform is predicting a Star Witness triumph in the Golden Jubilee. It says: 'Star Witness looked as though a step back up to 6f would suit when second here on Tuesday and is taken to go one better.'
