Should pack ‘em in at Rosehill to watch Northerly in the Ranvet.
Today Ascot rail True Position.

R1 – Going with topweight 1 RIVER MIST to get the run of race then finding a split in straight. Raced in much harder race last week. 2ndup with only a 7 day break, will have to trust top trainer Daly. Several other chances, two of them are 4 Driven to Victory with blinkers on drawn to run a good race, 12 Mica Star also with blinkers on. General Gym, apparently they will attempt to race her handy today.

R2 – Tricky. I don’t understand why but I’m tipping 2 FIREBAND to tuck away and come home too well. 1 Tribula only little to lug the 58kg but a definite chance, ran 2nd to Mr.Callahan 1st up over c/d. 5 True Steel needs it longer but can be the blowout runner.

R4 – Agree with General Gym, 5 SCENIC CRUISE needs speed on and won’t get a lot here but has a good sprint, may be close enough at the turn in field of 10, bit unlucky last week. 1 Dedicated Miss, scratched from midweek Welter, may race forward and be hard to beat even with the 58kg. 4 Rose of Oakford for multiples. Will risk 2 Kim Lisa.

R5 – Natasha was top Oaks/Derby winner. Interesting to see Superior Star race without blinkers. Nearly all runners racing at this distance for first time. No tip but race should answer some questions.

R6 – Leaders drawn in and out. Bit of a risk as he’s unplaced at 3 tries c/d so we should get odds about 4 MOGUL. Finally drawn a barrier, PHarvey to drive him home. Being the lone member of the 7 Tribulations fan club has been felt in the pocket. 2nd to Cation last start, hasn’t really finished off but been consistent and looks well in. 2 Lakeside Song won 1stup last prep over the distance flashing home, won a recent trial beating Kentiara.
.
R7 – The Set Weights conditions ensures the top 2 will be clear cut favorites. Today’s the day for 2 THE RIGHT MONEY. Should in front of 1 Zoometric at the turn and hold him out at the finish. Zoometric ran on hard last week over 1200m. I guess the 600m jump in a week won’t hinder his chances, trainer knows best.

Top day to all.
