Ascot r3 Written Matter ; Solid first up win in an easier race to make it 3/4 . The pace will be hectic anytime Ziebell is engaged , add Kenyluck with an apprentice booked and Starfield Impact and the sparks should be flying off the firm deck. Watching the replays of his first two starts , his 2nd win was visually more impressive so hoping he shows the same improvement this time in as he will need to in this line up.
Early Quaddie (r2-5) ; 1.4.6.11/4/2.3.4.5.7.10.13.14.15/6 $36 for 100% *both standouts are very risky but I prefer to go for it rather than going wide and relying on a big dividend , especially with early quaddies where the pool is generally smaller.
Best Bet Ascot r7 Sheza Chalmer ; Is a horse that can find trouble in her races , no more evident than last start in the 1200m leg of this mares series , but when things fall into place she is dynamic. Angelic Miss beat her home last start but has to sustain her big sprint from near last an extra 200m . The favourite Bright Diamond was also desperately unlucky and has only missed a place once in 10 starts . Swap the silks and jockeys and Sheza Chalmer starts favourite over 1400m in my opinion but very wary. La Farola comes from a different race . She always flies first up but to win like she did with 58kgs she has to be respected , barrier 1 a tricky draw for her , will need luck getting a run. Plenty of knockout chances aswell in a great race.
Ascot r8 Western Empire / Regal Power ; With Western Empire strangling the market and for good reason we will have the quinella with the only possible danger in Regal Power. .WFA conditions , wide draw and my record of getting “morals” beat in multi’s means I’m staying well clear of the $1.40. (Punters who are on breathe a huge sigh of relief!). Many will include the filly Searchin Rocks due to the weight advantage but I’m not convinced this years 3yo form is strong enough to compete with two absolute a graders. The rest are going to battle to turn their Railway Stakes spanking around. It’s another jackpot first 4 so we will try and jag it for minimum spend.
In Order
7/1/4.6.8.9.10/3.4.6.8.9.10 $25 for 100%
Quaddie (r6-9) FD/5/1/2.3.4.8.9.10.11.12.13 $81 for 100% * again standing out Sheza Chalmer is a huge risk but if Western Empire wins as expected then the dividend wont be massive.
