Best Value Ascot r8 Almighty Class ; This son of Playing God has set the track alight at the trials on numerous occasions. 2nd to undefeated Keshi Boom then won by over 5 lengths leading over 950m at lark hill . Debuted on a Heavy 9 over 1200m so prepared to ignore that run and go off his return trial at Belmont where he pulled his head off last before given his head and putting 4 lengths on them in a few strides. Big raw gelding with a big future and while 1000m feature race at Ascot is certainly a challenge , I don’t want him going around at $10 without my money on. Confident he can be a real player over the carnival if he stands up.
First week back at Ascot on a warm day , Rail , Leaders Bias ? I don’t want to get too involved so here are my thoughts on some of the Big ones over east.
Randwick R7 Private Eye ; Only Giga Kick nabbed him late this race last year and his win first up over 1100m was dynamic. Nash Rawiller is on fire and the trainer openly said he would improve 3 or 4 lengths off his first up run. Slightly sticky barrier but if the track plays fair and he can get some cover then $7.50 each way is a nice bet.
Caulfield r9 Militirize & Steparty ; Massive fan of both these outstanding colts. Militirize is already a multiple group 1 winner who will get stronger and stronger as the distances increase. Steparty just keeps raising the bar and was brilliant in the prelude , overcoming a tough run. Rather than back them here I have backed both in the Cox Plate futures market , if either win this then head to the Cox , they will be massive chances at WFA. Other chances but I’ll only be taking the two in the Quaddie.
Caulfield r10 Amelia’s Jewel ; At first glance the $2.45 looks a little skinny considering the weight and barrier. Then you listen to trainer Simon Miller’s latest interview and see the glint in his eye as he tells the world she is now ready to truly show us what she’s got., it might turn out to be overs. It’s still not her Grand Final and I haven’t decided if I’ll bet but I definitely have her on top and I’ll definitely being cheering hard with the rest of WA .
