The Coolakin King to take charge ahead of Weapons Hot at a good tempo. MARS MISSION (5) comes back in trip today on the back of a slightly disappointing effort at Narrogin last time out. It's been a while since he's saluted the judge, but his recent form stacks right up in this field. Blinkers come off now and he can end his winning drought. WEAPONS HOT (8) will appreciate this much easier assignment today after never featuring at Ascot when first-up. The inside draw helps him here, as does Tsang's claim. Fitter now and can improve quickly. SIMPLY ROSSO (4) last appeared four weeks ago over 1403m at Geraldton when he finished 11th. This is his first run for the Allan Hughes stable. Well-placed and is among the chances. ON THE FULL (7) has not won for a long while. Last raced on April 26 when beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth at Rockingham over 1200m. The engagement of Kate Pateman is a positive move. Taking on a better line-up this time but he cannot be underestimated. OUR KIWI PRINCESS (3) is next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mars Mission gets the nod.
