Ascot Tips

YORGA PRIDE back from let-up and unbeaten in both runs, standout top pick. DIAMOND DANCER won once this prep at Ascot four runs back and gets the blinkers back on, for the exotics. RISING FAME in the money at only start running third at Ascot, for the exotics. ANOTHER LOVE ran seven lengths back from the winner last start at Ascot when fresh and likely to race on the speed, consider in exotics.

Doubt this will prove a reliable form reference. BUZZ THE TOWER finished eighth at only start at Pinjarra, tough to beat. OPAL TANGO ran one and a half lengths back from the winner last start at Pinjarra, quinella. EXTRA ZERO has three placings from six runs this prep but faded to finish 15 lengths off the winner last start at Ascot, place chance. DANEA ROCK finished midfield last start at Ascot, place best.

Looks a toss up between the top two selections. HOUSEWIFE 2 wins from five attempts this campaign and placed last start at Ascot, a winning chance. SUNLIT FRESCO has won at Bunbury and placed twice this prep, in the mix. AMERICAN ESCAPE last start winner to break maiden at Bunbury and Lucy F Fiore a bonus, needs the breaks. ROMMING DANGER finished strongly to end up midfield last start at Bunbury and down in distance, place only.

Hard to see anything upsetting the top two choices. SKYTALKER placed when fresh and beaten by 11 lengths last start at Albany, commands respect. KERMIT'S LUCK finished strongly to end up midfield last start at Pinjarra when resuming and ran second at Ascot when last second-up, has solid claims. BLAZING EMERALD beaten by eight lengths last start at Ascot when resuming and ran eighth at Pinjarra Scarpside when last second-up, could upset. THERMOSPHERE LAD short back-up of seven days and drawn the rails, not without each-way claims.

PROMISING winner at Pinjarra Scarpside and placed once this campaign, perfectly placed. NATIVE FLOWER has placed in two attempts this campaign and was narrowly beaten as a favourite last start at Pinjarra, sneaky chance. NATURAL GEM amongst the placegetters last start running third at Ascot when fresh and Brad Parnham a bonus, not the worst. CANNY ROCK has the speed to overcome drawing the widest barrier, chance to place.

GOLDEN DORE coming off a win at Albany and all wins have come when faced with dry ground, a winning chance. CAPORETTO finished a length back from the leader last start at Ascot and draws to do no work, dangerous. CHOIXWAY last start winner at Geraldton when fresh and has the speed to overcome drawing the widest barrier, dangerous. ZOUBOLTZ resumes after an 18 week spell and likely to race on the speed, each-way claims.

AXEMAN'S JAZZ resumes from a long 72 week spell and fitter for multiple trial runs, hard to go past. ROMMEL'S GODDESS in strong form with two wins from 11 attempts this campaign and last start winner at Ascot, the real danger in the race. MISSILE STORM back from 16 week spell and two from three wins have been in the dry, cannot be ruled out. KELORA 2 of four wins have come from dry ground, could threaten.
