That's big news Hat. McNair has extended the career of Mustard and experienced with horses with different sorts of problems. Hay List will be his best horse he's had.

Ascot Saturday
 

R2) leader - On the Carpet. Lead Rope might settle right behind it, Shock Value had an easy Barrier Trial win, will probably be outside the lead. Tip 4-2.

R3) Saytorio was green at its first start, should settle midfield and appreciate the 1200m. Should win. Lay Cheval Roi.

R4) Galaxy Queen going for 4 straight wins. This is slightly stronger race and up to 56kg. Go for quinella with stablemate My Becks.

R6) leader - Hawkeye Mort. Best backed Truckin Tobie. Don't like Calico Blue so a Lay.

R7) leader - Impressive Jeuney. The Set Weights makes the top 3 clear from the rest. For Your Eyes Only will probably be near last in a 3-wide trail but has a devasting sprint. Tip 1-3-2.

One to follow is Admiring. Had to weave through traffic but attacked the line when clear. That was only its 2nd run in nearly a year. Next time 1600m +

Whipsaw
 

Only having its 6th start it blew past the field to win the Bunbury Cup. Was entered in a restricted grade this Saturday at Ascot but Mark Reed must have believed he had a very promising type to tackle Open Company.

Ascot Saturday
 

R3 - leaders Another Clanger/Impressive Jeuney. Impressive Jeuney needed the run last week and is ready to break-through. Might even take the lead in this. Has won on 7day backup.

R4 - Don't like Haste, so a Lay.

R5 - leader Legend Express. In a tricky race, Never Forgotten eachway if it gets out to around $7. Will get back and run on. Euclassy Thing in multiples.

R7 - is the TJ Smith Trophy. Zentrate eachway shouldn't miss, as it will get a gun run. It also beat Le Plunge last prep. over this distance, and that horse bolted in last week. Morant is obvious danger, was wide throughout last time and still won. Ranger was pathetic firstup but had very good form last prep. If it gets to near $10 worth a buck or two. Don't like Yabigorse so a Lay.
