Ascot Race 7 - Challenge Stakes (L)
One of the features of the day and the progressive ALL GRUNT (2) makes the step up to Listed company today. He's an exciting horse on the rise and the extra 100m doesn't look a problem. He's should be able to sit a little closer this time and he'll be very hard to hold out if he continues on his current trajectory. RON'S FINALFLUTTER (8) resumed in good order in the Breeders' at Bunbury, beaten 0.8L after sitting on the speed throughout. Brad Parnham hops back in the saddle now and he maps for a lovely run once again. Gets in at the bottom of the weights and should make her presence felt. DEEL HER IN (10) jumped favourite ahead of ALL GRUNT last start and was only 0.3L off him there. She meets him worse at the weights, but she's an improve type who looks up to this grade. Can feature. GLASGOW LASS (6) is interesting out to this trip after sprinting well to begin her career. Won't be far away. FLOWER OF GOLD (9) gets Pike in the saddle and can run a bold race.

Third-up today. First-up won by 0.9 len at this track Cl1 January 15 over 1200m defeating At Your Service carrying 58.5kg at $3.

Going well. Last start raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a head at this track Cl3 February 1 over 1200m defeating Cavallo Red with 58kg at $8. Before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a head at this track Cl3 C&G January 22 over 1200m defeating Zouboltz with 56kg at $9. In good form but this is tougher.

Most recently didn't do much in the run home; second last of 12 at this track 3yo Hcp 62+ on February 8 over 1400m, 8 len behind All Grunt carrying 58kg at $11. The run before that rolled along in front before being edged out 3rd of 8 at Pinjarra Scarpside Cl1 on December 26 over 1800m, 2 len behind Knockoneback with 59kg at $1.85. Not doing enough to suggests he can feature.

Second-up today. Last outing 3rd of 8 at Bunbury in the LR Wa Breeders on February 2 over 1200m, 1.0 len behind London's Image with 54.5kg at $2.70. At only start last preparation favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.0 len at Belmont Park 3yo Plate August 3 over 1200m in soft going defeating Timeless Gem carrying 56kg at $1.60. Is interesting out in trip but there's no doubting her class.

Previously second-up got back early 7th of 10 at this track Pa Prelude on November 2 over 1000m, 5 len behind Repossession carrying 54kg at $19. Is interesting out to this trip for the first time.

Second-up. First-up after two months raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 8 at Bunbury in the LR Wa Breeders on February 2 over 1200m, 0.8 len behind London's Image with 53kg at $5. Previously second-up 3rd of 12 at this track Cl3 on October 16 over 1200m, 1.4 len behind Ahyeahrighto with 54kg at $5.50. Strong return effort and this looks to suit much better.

Back from a spell. Finished off last preparation fourth of 13 at this track in the G2 Wa Guineas November 23 over 1600m, 1.2 len behind Storyville with 55kg at $21. Previous preparation first-up won by 1.0 len Northam 3yo Mdn September 26 over 1300m defeating Talkaway carrying 55kg at $21. No trial coming in but the booking of Pike suggests she can fire.

Last start came from midfield; 2nd of 12 at this track 3yo Hcp 62+ on February 8 over 1400m, neck behind All Grunt carrying 55.5kg at $2.20. The start before that eased back early on 5th of 8 at this track 3yo Plate on January 25 over 1400m, 1.75 len behind Rock 'N' The Jam with 54kg at $3.40. Promising effort last time out. Form ties in through All Grunt and she's as progressive as he is.
