GOING:

ASCOT FARM 970m

Track: AW     True  

Cracking tempo with Kakadu and Kasukedo leading the way. BRAZEN AFFAIR (6) has run two super close-up seconds here this time in so far. Only poor starts have cost the mare each time. Ace gate. Winner with a clean getaway. BAD EDUCATION (4) showed big improvement second up for a new yard this time in. He has won third up before. Impossible to omit here. HASSTOBEFAST (1) drawn out but cannot be omitted. Has won three times on the track and is in the multiples mix for sure. KAKUDO (2) has run here three times for two wins. Drawn well. Cannot be left out in this. KASUKEDO (3) resumes here and has won in this state. He is a multiple-class dropper in this field. Cannot be left out of any combination eitther. SUGGESTED PLAY: Brazen Affair is the one to beat from the ace.
