Best Bet Ascot r7 Media Baron ; After promising so much as a 3yo this grey is finally living up to his potential. Has gone from a non winner to 4 out of his last 5 , a tragedy beaten in the 1 loss when running 2nd by a nose. This is his toughest test class wise and always need’s a good ride as his pattern is to get back and get up in the last few strides. No one can do this better than his regular rider Paul Harvey and he is weighted to keep the streak going.
Ascot r9 Plutocracy; There’s no doubt the 3yo’s Red Can Man and Laverod will be all the talk in this race. There are several others that can win with the right run including Plutocracy that are big each way prices because of the wraps on the 3yo’s. Red Can Man has to carry 58.5kgs from a tricky barrier. Laverod drops in weight but also comes back 100m. His 2 wins were very impressive to the eye but in fairly ordinary form races. Plutocracy is drawn to get a gun trail camped over the leaders and has a sharp sprint that will be hard to hold out. Suggest 25/75% each way.
