Ascot Race 2 - Pepsi Max Plate
Time for the 2YOs. STATEWIDE (1) just missed first-up when flashing late from midfield, beaten 1.6L three weeks ago. He draws a better barrier this time around and the drop in trip shouldn't be an issue. Can land the knockout blow this time. BLOW ME KISSES (5) led and capitulated on debut back in November and was sent straight to the paddock. Her latest trial with the blinkers on was very impressive and the shades remain on for raceday today. Speedy customer who will be hard to gun down. DELTASON (2) is likely to get a long way back as he has done in recent races, though this is an easier event on paper. He was very good in a similar race on debut and he's expected to be doing his best work late in the race. PERFECT SISTER (8) is on debut for Dan Morton and moved well at the trials coming in. Can make an impression on debut. VALANNE DAWN (9) gets Pike in the saddle for her debut and has to be included.

Second-up. Promising on debut ran on strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 10 at this track 2yo Plate on October 12 over 1000m, 1.2 len behind Capitola with 57kg at $10. Returned from break made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 14 at this track 2yo Swp on April 5 over 1200m, 1.5 len behind Snitzalatte carrying 57kg at $10. Draws better this time and can get the job done.

Had two starts to date. At very big odds at debut, 4th of 14 at this track 2yo Swp on March 15 over 1000m, 0.9 len behind Kings Court carrying 57kg at $61. Second-up eased back early on 5th of 9 at this track in the LR Supremacy on March 29 over 1000m, 3 len behind Luana Miss carrying 56kg at $26. Looks a threat in this suitable race.

Two-year-old gelding (Gingerbread Man - Beyond The Mist) will no doubt benefit from the six trials prior to his debut today. Won a trial over 1000m at Pinjarra Scarpside on April 7. Betting the best guide.

Resumes racing after a long spell. Only one run when couldn't go on with it; 7th of 13 at this track 2yo Swp on November 9 over 1100m, 7 len behind Talkanco carrying 55kg at $21. Looks forward enough after a recent trial win. Big trial coming in with the blinkers on and she can make her presence f

At debut, second last of 10 at this track 2yo Mdn on April 2 over 1000m, 4.5 len behind Elite Beau carrying 55kg at $21. Better for that run but may need more time.

Two-year-old filly making debut by Universal Ruler out of Rapid Eye Movement. Was second in a Pinjarra Scarpside barrier trial over 600m April 7. Worth watching for any market moves.

On debut. Two-year-old filly by Gingerbread Man out of Corrilya. At the most recent trial was out of the placings over 1000m at Belmont Park March 31. Can play a role on debut.

Two-year-old filly making debut by Ducimus out of Bill's O'Reilly. Won a trial at Pinjarra over 600m March 10 then followed up with a Was third in a Bunbury AW trial over 900m on March 24. Looks a capable type and will be competitive with Pike booked.
