Best Bet Ascot r8 Distant Trilogy; Was going to win in a canter at Bunbury before stepping in a hole and stumbling.  Have been waiting to get my money back and was very excited when noms came out but opening price of $2.45 looks unders, surely we get slightly better first run in town.

Ascot r5 Bollinger Boy; Promising Blackfriars stayer that is going for 3 in a row and looks suited to the 1800m.

Ascot r9 Southern Son; Another Pike ride for Durrant who keeps improving as distances increase and this is a very weak race.

Quaddie (r6-9) 1 7 8 9, 1 2 4 6 9, 2, 4 6 $40 for 100%

Sandown r4 Anemoi; Dropping sharply in grade where it has been finishing off nicely. $8.50 each way looks tasty.
