Ascot Race 2 - Mca Polytrack Hcp
DAYTONA PETE (1) sat close to the speed first-up but didn't make any inroads when 1.3L off the winner. The rise in trip is a big plus and he showed sharp improvement when second-up last campaign. Ready to go to another level now and can return to winning form. POND MASTER (2) drops back to 1200m after being well beaten over further a fortnight ago. He is a third-up winner in the past and Pike sticks with the gelding. Still has upside and can get back to his best now. GOD'S GATE (5) is a colt on resumption for the Parnham stable and has shown plenty of speed in his previous campaign. Suspect he'll do the same today and if he can pick up where he left off, he'll be hard to hold out. KING HIT (3) trialled well coming into this and won't be far away. RIPPER FAROOQ (4) was tested in stakes grade last campaign and moved well in a recent trial. Right in the mix.

Second run back. First-up after four months 4th of 8 at this track 3yo Hcp 62+ on April 19 over 1000m, 1.3 len behind Black Ora carrying 57kg at $3.50. Previously second-up won by a long-neck at Pinjarra 3yo Mdn December 1 over 1000m defeating Favourite Songs with 57kg at $9. Solid first-up and can improve now.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. First-up 2nd of 9 at this track 3yo Hcp 58+ on April 12 over 1200m, 0.9 len behind Sixinch Heels carrying 58.5kg at $8. Last start 3rd of 9 at this track 3yo Hcp 60+ on April 26 over 1400m, 5 len behind Awesome Boy carrying 58kg at $3.40. Back in trip a slight niggle but he's the main danger.

Useful type. Last start raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 0.6 len at this track 3yo 0Mwly April 30 over 1200m defeating Amarlime with 59kg at $9.50. The run before that 5th of 7 at Pinjarra 3yo 0Mwly on April 16 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind Amarlime with 57kg at $3.30. One of the chances.

Second run back. First-up after four months raced on speed throughout when 3rd of 9 at Pinjarra Scarpside Cl1 on May 1 over 1000m, 1.5 len behind Hezangelic carrying 54kg at $7. Previously second-up 3rd of 8 at Belmont Park Cl1 on December 4 over 1000m, 0.9 len behind Rissoles with 55.5kg at $7. Good return but prepared to risk this time.
