Best Value ; Ascot r9 Miss Conteki ; Get back sprinter that can really explode late . Either peaked under 59.5kgs first up or lost concentration. Up to WFA, you wouldn’t expect her to get to the front too early this time . Elite St is a group 1 winner who was back to his brilliant best 1st up . Suited by the WFA conditions , it looks like the perfect race for him on the way to defending his Winterbottom crown. I’m more confident of Miss Conteki running top 3 then Elite St winning hence at the current odds of $7.50/$2.20 each way vs $2.30 the win , she looks the safer bet.
Best Bet Ascot r10 Kissonallforcheeks; Was a run short first up and still only went down by a nostril with 59kgs. Made amends 2nd up with an effortless victory from last in what looked like 2nd gear. Drops to the minimum for today’s group 3 and has beaten the favourite home before. I can’t help but think he’s price is heavily influenced by the owner/trainer/jockey combination. Very nice horse but first up from a narrow Derby win doesn’t scream short priced favourite to me.
Ascot r11 Son Of Bacchus; Has always shown above average ability and just maybe at 6 years of age the penny may have finally dropped. A first up 4th , running on hard behind the electric Graceful Girl followed up by running down a mare who was flying at the time over 1600m indicates he has come back really switched on.
