Best Multi Filler Ascot r1 Acromantula ; One of the quickest 1000m specialists in the state and when he’s drawn to lead uncontested he wins more often than not. 2kg claim only strengthens his claims . $1.75 is getting into the risk vs reward category but I think he justifies it so if your a multi player , he’s a solid anchor leg.
Ascot r5 Featherweight ; Resumed off a long spell with a good 2nd behind a promising horse who has won again since. Then sat 3 wide no cover with 59.5kgs and won with a leg in the air , showing an explosive turn of foot. From barrier 1 Chris Parnham can lead or potentially box seat on last start all the way winner My Marliana. Chris rode her that day and sides with Featherweight who ironically carries topweight. My Marliana is worth a smaller each way bet. Totally against the fav Harmika here. Sure comes from a stronger race but she maps awkwardly , either back or working wide. Talented enough but no way is she an odds on chance.
Best Bet Ascot r8 Alaskan God; Picked him out as a likely Derby prospect about 6 weeks ago and backed him in the futures market for a good result. After smacking the older horses , something rarely done in middle distance racing he did a similar job to the other 3yo’s in the Melvista despite sitting wide the trip. If your a weights and measure’s believer then the 3kg swing towards Trix of the Trade makes him the obvious danger. He has been backed into favouritism with the two dominating the market. While Trix was visually impressive coming from last , I still believe we did more work in the run and were holding him comfortably.
