Ascot Race 3 - Drummond Golf Hcp (C1)
ESPRESSO TIME (4) stuck on well in Heavy going on debut before going for a break. His trial coming into this was superb and Brown sticks with him as he has done the whole way through. Maps well and if he can run up to his trial effort, then he'll be hard to hold out. PARIAH'S THANKS (6) flew home from last to win over this trip at Bunbury last start, scoring by 1.3L. May be able to sit closer from the inside draw this time and she looks a progressive type on the rise. Can go on with the job. CANNYKEV (2) missed by 2.9L over the 1100m journey here last start in stronger company and comes back to the short course today. He won well over this trip three back and this shapes similarly. Can bounce back to his best today. SETAGAYA (7) is better than we saw last start and drops right back in trip today. Keep safe. PRINCE OF PARADOX (3) has trialled well coming into this campaign and is not to be discounted.

Second run back. First-up after four months eased back early on 9th of 13 at this track Grad Hcp 60+ on January 17 over 1000m, 3.5 len behind Santanova with 56kg at $71. Previously second-up 4th of 10 at Belmont Park Mdn on August 6 over 1200m, slow going 0.8 len behind Saam Time Lucky with 55.5kg at $2.20. Looks a fair way off peak form so others are preferred.
