Great days racing at Ascot with perfect racing conditions predicted
R1 - Tricky race, maybe Trustee Brown eachway. Raced forward at first start, some speedsters drawn inside it though.
R2 - Kim Trader at 3.1 is too short, have a break.
R3 - Too many queries. For Trifectas/First4s include Xaar Boom.
R4 - Early speed drawn in and out suits the stalkers Shock Value/Moonlight Drive.
R5 - Unbeaten Hay List going for 9 straight, and finds extra when challenged, but even factoring in improvement my odds are about 3.25 whereas fixed 1.75, pass, but hope it wins. Dante's Volonte reportedly back to near best, and loves Ascot. Revolition is a must lead type, so early pace will be interesting. Apparently screws tightened on Ma Ma Machine after last start's below par effort.
R6 - Grand Nirvana has been disappointing and drawn awkwardly, but blinkers on today, last chance. Elliotto a distance risk, but powered home at 1400m last start.
R7(WA Guineas) - The Corporation will get gun run, by Helenus so 1600m is perfect. Thorn Dancer has been backed for a stack now into 4.1, but will get back and could be wide for most of the race, and very wide home turn.
R8 - Golden Business eachway should give great sight. Almohad is promising but odds 3.0 is too short.
