Race 1 - 5, 1, 8 & 4
Race 6 - 11, 15, 7 & 5
Race 8 - 1, 12, 3 & 7

Review and betting flucs from yesterday’s Ascot races(bookie odds). No significant betting moves this week.
Overall the times were quick.

R1 – Suresh led on End Path setting a 34.71 1st sectional, fast fast for this class. It stuck on well(the other 2 onpacers dropped right out) but “flooding home” was Spirit of Jules(7 10) beating Yamunindi(7 15/2). The fav. Essential Terms(5/2 3) off 3 week break and up in class didn’t run on.

R2 – Fav. Diamond Dash(7/4 9/4) got a bit lost before turn good 2nd to Buster’s Yousha(4 5 9/2). Nothing worse for a punter than not getting a run for your money, Air Pocket(2 9/4) blew the start then pulled out of the event.

R3 – Party Boy(9/2 11/2) made big improvement last start, continued on yesterday out-sprinting the leaders in slowly run race. Kontiki Star(2 7/4) every chance 3rd. Super Moss(5 6) 2nd , led into the straight.

R4 – Blinded(6/4 7/4) shouldn’t have won how the race panned out. Coming from near last and needing sub 34.66 to win is above average, and pinhead Hughes getting better navigating as well. 3rd Beaucoup Argent(4 7/2).

R5 – Son of Vasac(1/1 9/10) wore down a fighting Miss Torpago(11/2 13/2) who had 7.5kg less, 3rd was runner-on Exit Lane(6 7). Hasn’t the winner been a good earner, 22sts in money 73% for nearly 200k. He’s off for Pinjarra Cup/Bunbury Cups double.

R6 – WA’s top trainer Parnham prepared Superior Star(7 6) 2ndup here at near peak for the Listed 45k 3yo fillies event. 2 runs 2wins over 1600m for her and she’s by Nothin Leica Dane.

R7 – Darren McAullay raised it a decibel with his call of this, exciting duel between leader and winner Early Express(11/4 3) and Mercury Halo(11/4 3) sprinting in 34.47. Big gap to MoonTalk(7/2) 3rd, wide.

R8 – Star Trekking(4 11/2 5) enjoyed use of the good barrier and with soft run sprinted too quickly for disappointing Tribulations(5/2 9/4) 3rd. Evergreen Orange William(5 9/2) with his 2nd made it 3 wins 4 seconds last 7 sts.

Tomorrow at Ascot in R6 1400m, big field, 1 Jarnot has his chance to break through in town. Perfectly drawn, certain to box seat, well weighted with claim. For Multiples include 3 Pienodze, 2 Key Flyer , 7 Fandang.

Top week to all.

Red tipped Son Of Vasac ($1.60), Early Express ($4.60) and I think also tipped Blinded ($2.40).

No winners to Pre-Post but a couple of good place divis in Big Dam ($12.80) & Surroundings ($6.60).

Two winners to BettyBoop – Spirit Of Jules ($12.70) & Star Trekking ($7.30), also race 8 tri - $155.90.

Not too bad an effort :wink:

Yes, not too bad an effort Paddy - 66.67% POT :smile:

Guess my shout (again :roll: ) for dinner Bozo :wink:

Adding on to red's thoughts for race 6 tomorrow, I like 10, 3, 1 & 17.

Umm Paddy, tipping wise a fairly dirty day.
Bettyboop, thought with the long spell that Beau Pago would be worth a look only but it won a trial recently and Harvey selected it over Reggee.
In R4 Femme, racing in a Welter and only 53.5kg, should control the race. Civil List a chance.
Hope Betfair add Perth races one day, though that would mean more time at home, not sure the wife would agree!

El Gordo,don't lose heart or enthusiam mate!!I know only too well where you are coming from.The original posting of the Topweight system got almost 4000 views,and the Topweight system MK2 is approaching 1000,and yes,feedback is sometimes minimal and dissappointing.Just remember that some people are either too shy,feel they have no input of any value,think their ideas will be ridiculed,etc.etc.You are doing a fantastic job,and I assure you that your efforts are not going unnoticed.Also congratulations to Betty Boop and Sandgroper for their consistent efforts,and their consistent ability,along with yours,for finding winners!!!!Also to Percentum,who puts in the effort,and finds the winners too!!Keep it up guys(and gals!)I rarely used to punt in Perth,but you guys and gals are slowly but surely converting me!!You people obviously know your onions when it comes to Perth acing,so please don't give it away!!Congrats to all of you,and also Paddy who I forgot to mention earlier!!Cheers,angel416

I’m sure regular contributors to the “Perth” threads appreciate your positive feedback angel416. Thanks a lot :smile:

Nice tip with Jarnot red, won easily. Also see BB liked Jarnot as well, and also tipped us 3rd and 4th (dead-heat). Well done to both of you.

Femme a bit disappointing red – now two starts in open company for a 2nd and a 3rd. Not long ago Femme won over same course and distance as yesterday in 1m10.43 carrying 58kg with last 600m in 34.70. Yesterday gets beaten in 1m11.28 carrying 53.5kg with last 600m in 35.84 – No such thing as a good thing eh

Ascot in retrospect.

Saturday-

Race 1 - Nice win by Spirit Of Jules on Saturday and still working up to best rating. Yamunindi continues to improve. Also nice run by Big Dam.

Race 2 - Buster's Yousha ran up to best form at good overs. Nice return by Diamond Dash. Those on Air Pocket did their money at the start.

Race 3 - Party Boy finding form at the right time and improving.

Race 4 - Blinded continues to improve - on an upward spiral.

Race 5 - Son Of Vasac racing upto best. Top run by Miss Torpago. Exit Lane returning to form.

Race 6 - Much improved effort by Superior Star. Miss Belhus returning to form.

Race 7 - Strong win by Early Express. Moon Talk and The Right Money both disappointing.

Race 8 - Both Star Trekking and Orange William performing at their best.


Monday-

Race 1 - Top run by Yarraman, improving considerably on his last start win. Up a kilo in weight, almost 1.5 sec quicker.

Race 2 - Had the fav Narcissism rated 4th in line, so not surprised unplaced. Having said that, strange ride by Harvey, went way too early.

Race 3 - No surprise here, top 3 - Warning Tune, Blue Nonna and Belle De Plume all well rated and performed accordingly.

Race 4 - Yes Paddy, Femme looked to be disappointing, and rated some 1.5 lengths below best. Nice return by Swift Spice.

Race 5 - Good runs by the top 3 - Shirazamatazz, Secret Eye and Golden Prospect. The first 2 were both prior start winners at Pinjarra on the 19th Feb.

Race 6 - Jarnot continues to improve. Has proven that previous top Broome form is comparable. Snooze Control back to best after disappointing last start. Lightly raced All Ferrari should go on with it. Beau Pago looked burly in the ring and will be improved considerably by the run.

Race 7 - Late plunge on Cation came off. Had this horse rated clear top pick and he peformed accordingly.


Race 8 - Strong win by Nitronian another last start winner at Pinjarra. Vampire back to the better form showed when he first arrived in WA. Cent Dancing a bit unlucky. Not a bad run by Tolleshunt - a lightly raced 9YO whose best form goes back to 2001.
