Ascot r1 Snippenova ; The last time she led she fought off all but the smart Street Parade. Has worked too hard in two runs since. She is very quick early so drawn 1 I can’t see anything crossing her if Paul Harvey desires. If it turns into a tactical affair then being on the leader is a good advantage , especially over 1000m. The favourite was impressive on debut when finding the outside fence down the Pinjarra straight 1000m. This is a different set up so willing to risk at odds on with the apprentice on . None of the 5 would actually shock .
Ascot r2 Outfield ; Has gone close at his two starts , both down the Pinjarra Straight 1000m. Gets barrier one around a bend here where he can lead or box seat. The favourite Military Power has slightly stronger form lines but will have to work across from the outside barrier.
Best Bet Ascot 8 Wicked Fox ; Has been given every possible last two starts , winning a c1 and getting bobbed last start when the winner got an even peachier ride. Both runs have been at this track & distance and he maps to get another great run. He lacks a killer punch so the fact he is close enough to each way odds is important as a best bet. I suggest 40/60 % split.
