Little review and betting flucs from yesterday’s Ascot races.

R1 – Followers of dual acceptors would’ve been on Carry Kali(10 12 10). Strong finish to just beat Cherry Blossom(5/2 7/2) by a nose, now won both runs from a spell. Race not run to suit Gilligan’s Girl(7/4f) but disappointed a little.

R2 – Deserved win to Diamond Dash(6/4 7/4f) nailing the real Rose of Thunder(7 8 6) by a nose.Rave(5/2 2 9/4) handy early dropped out.

R3 – Crystal Clear(7 8 ) and Expropriate(6) were the two favs. in a recent midweek when involved in a bumping duel and forgetting about the winner. Brush the Saint(6/4 2ef) 3rd had every chance and Josie’s Show(9/4 2ef) a shocker.

R4 – Shout from Maroof(2 15/8f) top win sat outside Yarraman(9/2) and beat him off. Harvey may want to stay on Magic Aces(5 13/2) after his fast finishing 5th from a bad draw, and did bolt in a 1200m race in December.

R5 – Little Tribula(5 8 ) settled outside leader Early Express(5/2 3 11/4f)and beat him off in straight. Surprise was the lone backmarker Mogul(10 12) charging into 2nd against a good sectional. He’s in form. Old Fashion(3 4) sat behind the leader and disappointed.

R6 – Two in a row for Cent Dancing(9/2f) holding out Beyond Dispute(6 7). Sarah’s Spirit(9 10) 3rd, racing out of its class having had the 1 win from 4 starts prior to today is one to follow.

R7 – I thought Money is Magic(14 25) was outclassed in this but dead wrong as he flashed home beating every chance Finito(4/5 1/1f). Blevvo(6 7 11/2) led and weakened, hasn’t recaptured his early summer form yet.

R8 – Darren Mcaulley said about Cation(4/5 9/10 4/5f) before the turn …”and Cation is breathing fire behind them”. Changed gears, shot clear. An exciting type winning the last 4 in town. Gave PHarvey another double. Bar 1 didn’t seem to suit Prince of Charm (5 6 5), worth looking at next start.

Top week to all.
