Ascot Race 6 - Wittens Irrigation & Design Hcp (C5)
SCULLY (3) has been racing in good order in Saturday company, giving away big starts and running on strongly from the back. Back to 1000m today as he drops to midweek company and maps to be in a handy position under Parnham. Can bounce back to winning ways in this suitable assignment. LAST STYLEBENDER (10) was in good touch this campaign before a 1.1L defeat in Saturday company most recently. Back to the midweeks can see him bounce back to his best today and he'll be hard to reel in with his early speed. ART SESSION (6) comes through the same race as LAST STYLEBENDER where he was only 1.5L off the winner in a bunched finish. The wide draw is a niggle, but if he can get across from out wide then he'll be in this for a very long way. AZENA (11) comes here without a trial but the booking of Pike suggests she's ready to fire fresh. Not to be discounted. TYCOON HARRY (2) gets the blinkers back on today and can bounce back.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. First-up 4th of 9 at this track Rtg 72+ on November 1 over 1000m, 0.6 len behind Desert Whisper with 54.5kg at $11. Second-up faded in the straight 9th of 12 at this track 0Mwly on November 15 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind Sir Dreamalot with 57.5kg at $8. Boasts a strong third-up record and looks an improver off the inside.

Resuming. Finished off last campaign when last of 14 at Pinjarra Rtg 66+ June 28 over 1200m, 9 len behind Want A Winner carrying 55kg at $151. Previously first up; ran last of 8 at this track Rtg 66+ May 3 over 1000m, soft track; 7 len behind Richanco with 57kg at $26. Will find this tougher than what he was up against prior to a spell and hard to see him improving enough to feature in this.
