ASCOT RACE 1
6. UNIBELLE was not fully tested on her debut before she posted the fastest sectionals in a high-rating race second up to suggest she is worth following.
3. NAUGHTY BY NATURE resumes after breaking her maiden over 1,700 metres prior to her spell.
2. SPECIAL BEAU was passed in at a dispersal sale for just $15,000 and he is just a maiden winner.
1. SAUVEGARDE won three on the spin before finding Saturday class too hard for her.
ASCOT RACE 2
8. TRUTIARA is an expensive mare which retains the services of William Pike and faces what rates as the easiest assignment of her current preparation.
11. TOMMY BLUE has trialled nicely ahead of her first run since switching from the Pearce brothers to Simon Miller.
3. OILSKIN is a four-year-old debutant stepping out off a couple of recent trial wins.
5. PULI maps as one of the leaders and he was in the market for his error-filled first race.
ASCOT RACE 3
3. EXCELLENT DREAM’s connections scratched him from Saturday to run on Wednesday and his first start for Lindsey Smith was a very impressive one.
2. EUROTRIP has ability but he put in a stinker first up last year and bar plates are part of his gear.
5. WAKAN TANKA has more talent than most maiden winners but he does not like having his photo taken.
4. SHE’S ALRIGHT resumes and probably wants farther than 1,200 metres but she is a handicap victor.
ASCOT RACE 4
1. YULONG EARTH will win better races than this affair if Mark Bairstow and Mitchell Pateman work out how to get him to behave under race conditions.
3. WAR ANTHEM thought long and hard about breaking his maiden under a senior jockey last time out.
5. SNIPPY MISS contests the lowest grade race she has tackled this season.
8. DALGARANGA bounded at the start before suffering several instances of interference on his most recent appearance.
ASCOT RACE 5
4. ROSIE RED DRESS would have gone close to winning at Geraldton if her green jockey, Tayla Conway, displayed greater initiative and urgency in the run.
7. SAN CRISPINO has been a model of consistency this campaign, particularly in this class.
1. COCKATIEL broke through the barriers prior to her plain first-up performance.
2. PAGAN IMAGE is, like Cockatiel, a four-year-old gelding which ran OK in some winter three-year-old features.
