Best Bet Ascot r5 Firesale; It was only a weak Pinjarra c1 but the ease of the last start win was ridiculous. Only 2 wins from 17 but maybe like most Trade Fair progeny it’s a late maturer. Down to 56.5kgs with Pike on will do me.

Best Value Ascot r9 Twentythree Red ; Fought off my best bet Porphrio last start for a tough on pace win, 2nd up over 1600m. That horse then absolutely trotted in next start. Hard to get too excited with track record of 1 placing from 14 starts but drawn to run a cheeky race.

Ascot r8 Freezemoff; Fav Utgard Loki looks extremely hard to beat however still has to run the trip for the first time. Freezemoff is 2/3 at the distance including winning the Geraldton Cup easily. Kyra Yuill retains the ride and she is in white hot form.
