Non-WA punters it’s wet in the east dry in the west so for Ascot grab a good form guide, spend the time,have a betting strategy and you could finish in front. Northerly is at 11am.
The Rail is into 4m, was 5m on Thursday.

R2 – pin job, 6.5 chances, so some notes….1MyTrueChoice let Rickitave cross, settle 2nd,2kg pull from Glitzy Show…2ShesCapitivating dist?,should beat GlitzyShow… 3Rickitave beat DreamofStorms recent trial,leader,4weeks break…4GlitzyShow dist?…5 InParadisum scr. Thurs, Fly Fonteyn confirmed form Thurs.,…6 ABonnyDrop very good recent 1600m runs…7MissPolygraph big cls rise,won last 2……best of luck in this

R3 – Tango Man deserves to win one, good 2nd last week. From bar1 with the claim Twin Power has every chance, good 4th c/d Nov. behind Blevvo. Turnerz improved a lot last start. My lays are the in-form Clan Noble(dual accept. R5) and Money is Magic(1st 1800m run and an in-and-out type).

R4 – . Dream of Storms missed place only once in 19sts(!) and resumes, 2nd recent B/T . Time is Money sat 2nd behind a fast early Miss Torpago 3 weeks ago, prev. 2 wins c/d, bar 3, good chance. Princess Neillena could be thereabouts as well, back after a break.

R5 – Trainer Smith/jock. PHarvey make a good combo and with Arrian could surprise by racing forward. Did this last prep over c/d for 2nd. Top return 1st up. About a year ago Cento led t/o over the c/d. Forget last week,not fully tested. Will lead if Rickitave doesn’t accept(as also in R2). Instantaneous will want Ricktave to start in this along with Benvaro and Cento putting on some pace, but I’ll lay it.

R6 – several chances so some notes…..jockey(manager) choices -> PHarvey opted for Narcissim over Kontiki Sir. JWhiting has selected Poziere over Merlos. PKnuckey has selected Killadeas over Sir Honour…..1ClanNoble dual acceptor R3, never carried 58.5kg…..3Tapdog good chance, SJMiller back on.

R7 – ripper Listed 40k 1200m. I can’t pick the winner. Dexian won’t win but is untapped and could compete interstate eventually, interesting to see how he returns after long-ish spell.

R8 – So I’ve waited all day for a decent bet and if odds allow I’ll back two. 4 Moon Talk and 5 Old Beau. I see Moon Talk settling probably behind Bandolero or a touch further back, get the split and ping. The query is how much improvement is in Old Beau 2nd up. Smith/PHarvey combo, and distance suits better. Hoping punters back a couple of others I haven’t mentioned.

Top day to all.
