Ascot Race 2 - Liberties Insurance Plate
LONDON'S IMAGE (2) has been freshened up since leading and hanging on gamely for second in the Listed Lee-Steere over 1400m seven weeks ago. Classy sprinter who was beaten narrowly in the Placid Ark over 1200m so this shorter trip holds no fears. The one to beat box-seating out of the coveted rails draw. The speedy DESERT WHISPER (6) led all the way and destroyed her rivals here over 1000m ten days ago. Takes a big leap in class but her figures suggest she is up to the challenge. GOLDEN VALE (4) last raced when edged out of second place by LONDON'S IMAGE in the 1200m Listed Placid Ark nine weeks ago. Flies when fresh so she is right in contention. BRAZEN BID (1) raced handy all the way when a minor placegetter first-up over 1200m. Meets some smarter types this time but he is lightly raced with plenty of improvement in store. CLEANEMUP (5) gets a pass mark for her return over 1000m last time. Gets a few gear changes and should be thereabouts again.

Useful filly. Comes off a 49 day let-up. Most recently tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 11 at this track in the LR Lee-Steere on November 30 over 1400m, 1.0 len behind Cashel Palace carrying 55kg at $5. The race before that faded in the straight 5th of 13 at this track in the G2 Wa Guineas on November 23 over 1600m, 2 len behind Storyville with 55kg at $14. Should run a big race coming back in grade.

Second-up. First-up after four months sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 7 at this track 3yo Plate on January 1 over 1000m, 3 len behind Shmoov Moova carrying 56kg at $8. Previously second-up won by 1.5 len at Belmont Park 2yo Swp July 27 over 1000m on a soft track defeating Sunshine Tafe with 56kg at $1.60. Lightly raced filly who has plenty of scope for improvement.
