Ascot Race 5 - Wittens Irrigation & Design Hcp (C1)
QUEEN OF HAWKS (8) led them up over 1000m at Belmont on resumption and couldn't hold off the winner when favourite. Fitter now and the slight rise in trip is no issue. She was a second-up winner last campaign and from an inside barrier, she'll take plenty of beating. MIGHTY HOSANNA (6) was far too good first-up into the campaign, sitting on the speed and running away to bolt in by 3.8L. Chris Parnham hops off to ride QUEEN OF HAWKS in an interesting move, but definitely one worth noting. Hard to ignore her latest effort and she'll be right in the finish. OCEAN GODDESS (4) was a 25-1 chance on debut but won sharply there. The rating out of that and the sectionals suggest it wasn't a fluke and she can sit closer this time from the better gate. Ticks a few boxes and can make her presence felt. SANCTIONS (5) will be better getting out to this trip and won't be far away. UUKHAI (3) can feature if he runs to recent efforts.

Second run back. First-up after five months favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; scored a big 4 len win at this track Mdn March 12 over 1100m defeating Bulletin Beau carrying 55kg at $2.60. Previously second-up 3rd of 15 at Belmont Park Mdn on September 25 over 1200m, 6 len behind God's Gate carrying 54kg at $21. Can go on with it. Far too good first-up and appears the main danger.

Second run back. First-up after five months gave a sight but was run down late 2nd in a small field at Belmont Park Cl1 on March 5 over 1000m, 0.8 len behind Magali Magic with 56kg at $2.50. Previously second-up favourite; won by 1.4 len at Geraldton Mdn October 3 over 1113m defeating Lady Tremaine carrying 54kg at $1.90. Just missed fresh and can go one better this time.
