GOING: G(4)

Ascot Racing Carnival (Rs1mw) 2200m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain Wind Early   Rail: Out 6m.  

Doesn't appear a lot of depth to this staying event with the leading market hopes expected to fight out the finish. Speed anticipated from both Fathoms Of Gold and Midnight Banquet. I Done It and Midnight Banquet should be rolling forward with the likes of Queen Of Tease, Military Service and Fathoms Of Gold capable of being handy. PROXY is on the back up from a win over a mile last week and was strong at the finish there. Extra distance should be no concern and he'll go close. FATHOMS OF GOLD was a big winner two starts back and certainly not disgraced in his latest. Consistent and won't be far away. I DONE IT backs up from Wednesday and is more than capable of measuring up. Each-way claims. Queen Of Tease is an up and comer who isn't without a chance on the back of a nice last start win. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Fathoms Of Gold.
