Ascot Park Race 4 - CRUICKSHANK PRYDE / APPARELMASTER MOBILE PACE
OUR TWINKLE (1) made it four placings from as many starts so far this campaign when he came from wider to finish second as a hot favourite last week at Cromwell. Well served by the ace draw this time so should get every chance to break through for a well-deserved win. LOUIES ME DAD (8) is lightly raced and progressing okay, last time finishing fifth at this circuit and distance. Freshened since but has trialled well in that time. Go well with even luck from a wide barrier. SHERGAR (2) should be hitting peak fitness now and has been close-up from tougher barriers in his last two outings. ARISTA (9) hasn't raced for seven months but could open this campaign with a positive effort.
