Ascot   16 Oct 2024
 
GOING:

HFM: BIG D, TIGER & JOCK HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 20)   +12m Entire  

Abundant early pressure from the speedy pair God's Gate and Leading Taddy. GOD'S GATE (10) was super last start in Maiden company at Belmont when leading them up and kicking clear for a dominant win. He's shown pace from out wide previously and can do so again today. Looks to have plenty of class about him and can win again. PROCESSIO (12) resumes today on the back of a nice trial and Pike hops in the saddle fresh. That's a big push for her chances as she looks a progressive mare on the way through. Just missed first-up last campaign and she looks nicely placed in this event. AHYEAHRIGHTO (4) is racing well and finished 2.2L off the winner at Belmont in Saturday grade most recently. Up to this trip for the first time looks to suit and he should get every chance from the draw. Can play a major role. RON'S FINALFLUTTER (14) looks a nice horse on the way up and has claims with his form stacking up from last start. MILLSTEE (11) can peak third-up now and has claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: God's Gate can win again.
