Excellent meeting again for Ascot. Champagne racing at Randwick. Ascot Rail True.

R1 – DreamTime Lover to lead Julies Smile and maybe General Grant & Cherry Blossom coming across.Changed thoughts more than once not a good sign. Risking probable fav. Cherry Blossom and having a couple of light bets on the born losers 1 Edition & 3 General Grant. Both a chance at their best.
Virginia Reel looks set to receive a good run throughout.

R2 – 1 Warning Tune is up to 57.5kg but in form and well drawn for back-to-back wins. Bold Endeavour and Super Moss(both with blinkers on today) finished long way behind last week but just going to believe they hated the wet track.

R3 – Tipping the resuming 6 Twilight Spy. Might settle 1out-1back and has a top 1200m record. The fav. Cation has been racing through the classes and up to a Welter today. Drops 4 kg and drawn to be ‘breathing fire’ behind the leader who could be Lady Wild. She returns from Melbourne, won a recent trial and might be primed 1st up.

R4 – Agree General Gym, expecting a fitter 1 Brush the Saint today 3rdup. Will race on pace or lead. Crystal Clear(dual acceptor R7 Mon.) shot past Brush the Saint last start and from bar 2 should have the sweet run again. Improving Mordor is backing up after last week’s good 2nd and might follow Brush the Saint across.

R5 – Going to risk the toppie so I hope it’s the fav. From inside bar. stablemate 3 Beyond Dispute will get the box seat on the speed. Didn’t have great form past 1600m last prep but going well lately. Forget last run of Lakeside Song and he’s a chance, buzz name Abu Dhabi’s last win is over the c/d.

R7 – GrpIII Easter Stakes 1500m. 7 Mogul put in his best ever run l.s and significantly Harvey has jumped off a couple of others that have been good to him. Could settle 4th/5th and the 1500 isn’t a problem. Early Express can have an easy lead and could surprise, Finito will get back of course and is always dangerous. General Gym, big test for Dedicated Miss, happy to risk it.

R8 – Pace in and out will suit the ex-Vic 6 Craigavad. 2nd up today and Harvey on may even settle closer than l.s. Stormy’s Son(dual acceptor R7 Mon.) won 1stp last prep at Belmont and well drawn should settle mid-rear. Any Beat beat Craigavad in same midweek and with claim well weighted, has the blinkers added today.

For Monday I’d give Gilligan’s Girl another chance, R5 8.
Off for a top 4 week holiday, back for Belmont. Hope all have a profitable day.
