Hoping any rain stays away for this excellent Ascot card highlighted by the WA Oaks. Rail 3m.

R4 – Tricky. I’ll plump for 2 DANGEROUS PLAY because she’s certain to get a good run and racing in same conditions as her 1st up 2rd over the c/d. Doesn’t win often though but at least rove her in all multiples. 8 Heartbeat bit unlucky l.s. just not sure where she’ll settle, 7 Ostraval beat Heartbeat l.s and well drawn.

R5 – Guessing that Harvey had the choice of rides and stuck with 2 DEDICATED MISS. Race on the speed and have an easy run behind Shane’s Boy. Danger is 1 Son of Vasac who is back to a Welter and well in after the claim. 5 Kim Lisa has bad record this distance and needs speed on, today re-united with winning jock McGruddy.

R6 – The 152k WA Oaks. The distance is new to all runners so there’ll be a surprise somewhere. My tip is that the state’s top trainer has employed the state’s top jock for the state’s top 3yof classic. 1 SUPERIOR STAR well drawn, has done a couple of things wrong recently and Harvey’s been given the task on payday. Could settle midfield then pounce on these at the 200m. Island Temptress may lead this time and employ same tactics as when run away winner 2sts ago(though over 1800m). Tag Jeur ran in the MV Oaks l.s, and by Jeune so any rain wouldn’t hurt.

R8 - Could be tougher than first thoughts but I'll go in order 2Zoometric-7Conspirator-1TheRightMoney-3Shirazamatazz. Conspirator is the only proven at the distance, horror draw though.

Top day to all.
