GOING: G(4)

ASCOT OPENING DAY 12TH OF OCTOBER PLATE 1000m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 20)   True  

Strong pace from Red Autumn and Flagship matching motors with London's Image close at hand. Good race. SIR DREAMALOT (1) contested the good races as a 2YO and resumes with just one trial under his belt. This was his pet trip and he maps to get plenty of favours from a suitable draw. Form stacks up strongly and if he can pick up where he left off, he'll take plenty of beating. QUEEN OF HAWKS (7) is on debut today following a scintillating trial win at Lark Hill recently. The trial caught the attention of William Pike who hops in the saddle for the first time today. The blinkers were on for that trial and she showed plenty of speed. Expecting her to be prominent in the run and take catching. KEEP ITA MYSTERY (2) may not have handled the Heavy conditions last start following a good win two back. Back to this trip suits too with Chris Parnham remaining in the saddle. Has plenty of upside and race fitness on his side. LONDON'S IMAGE (3) has trialled nicely coming into this and is not to be discounted. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sir Dreamalot can resume on a winning note.
