GOING: H(10)

ASCOT SPORTS BAR HANDICAP 2215m

Track: HEAVY 10     Out 3m  

Moderate tempo with Short leading the way. PRINCE ALBY (1) made the most of a good ride when coming up the rails to score by a nose at Riverton when breaking a long run of outs there nearly a fortnight ago. He has always been a contender in some top fields over his career, and now that his confidence is high, he can repeat the dose. SIGHT TO SEE (8) was a beaten favourite in the same race as her stablemate and top pick last time out. She will be hoping not to get so far out of her ground this time, and she is well worth another chance. Follow your money. STOLEN MAGIC (2) fought on gamely for sixth when dropping right down in trip to 1400m after contesting the Dunedin Cup over 2400m before that. She saves her best for this track, and she has top 3 claims this time, especially if the track is heavy. ACCIDENTAL TOURIST (5) has been mixing his form, and he will find this easier than his last run. A wetter the better for this tough gelding, and he has top 4 claims this time. PAR TEE (3) is not to be underestimated. Include. SUGGESTED PLAY: Prince Alby can win again, and Sight To See can bounce back.
