Little review and betting flucs from yesterday’s Ascot races. Track definitely on the slower side of a good rating.
Bookies’ had the upper hand with several double figure odds getting up and no plunges coming off.

R2 – Leaders that blow the start normally kills their chances and punters who took the 4/5f odds about Femme probably covered their faces for the rest of the race. Civil List(16 20 16) with blinkers on collared disappointing leader Fireband.

R3 – Kim Lisa (8 10) won 2nd up last prep over 1400m and did the same today, with same jock. Mogul was a **************, wide, plugged. Don’s Record was short(7/2 3f), led at good clip, weakened.

R4 – Super front running display by Island Temptress(7) and changed gears into overdrive in the straight. Well tipped General Gym, also good call Paddy about the very short Superior Star(5/4 10/9f), was buffeted about finishing well down track.

R5 – A novice mentioned Blinded(10/9 6/4f) could have been a distance doubt. Hughes found the gap, burst through. From his last 10 – 5wins,5placings. May need to jump up to Open class as handicapper will now hit where it hurts. Good stuff Paddy, exacta there for you. Beaucoup Argent(3 7/2 3) didn’t run the 1800m.

R6 – Consistent Tribulations(3 7/2 4) no match for the exciting Cation(4/5 9/10 4/5f). Bolting all the way giving PHarvey a double. Arrian(9/2 11/2 5) wide t/o.

R7 – Thrilling 3-way finish and Fred may have a handy horse with Shirazamatazz(12 14), was helped by leaders taking each other on. Mercury Halo(4 5) has had enough or didn’t run 1600m. Hoof on till The Right Money(7/2 3f).

R8 – On settling no surprises with position of runners. Cool Eyed(3 7/2f) went hard in front collared by box-seater TriTri(4 5 4) giving Kersley a double. Blessed Tudor(10 12) gave a fright bringing his excellent Geraldton form to town. Disgraceful Dream of Storms(4 9/2 15/4) well down the track, stewards please.

Top week to all.
