Ascot Race 5 - Epilepsy Wa (Bm72+)
THE CRIMSON PIRATE (8) sat handy in the Roberts last time out when the favourite, but didn't see out the extra journey. His run in the Piper was massive and that rates highly in this field. This shapes similarly back to the mile today and he can return to winning ways. FANCY RED (1) won over the mile two back, beating ASIF when sitting on the speed before jumping favourite in the Bunbury Cup last time out. She was good there despite going under, with the drop back to the mile looking ideal. Nottle's claim comes in handy and she should get every chance. ANTIQUE STAR (5) brings some different form into this and looks poised to strike third-up where she's won 2/3. Out to the mile is a big tick and she looks to get plenty of favours from the draw. She makes plenty of appeal. REDBACK FLYER (6) disappointed at Bunbury but he's much better than that. Can return to form. ASIF (4) can put his best foot forward returning to this trip.

Most recently came from midfield and won by a neck at this track Grad Hcp 60+ March 14 over 1400m defeating Invincible Thief with 60kg at $11. Before that won by a long-neck at this track Rtg 65+ February 28 over 1400m defeating Amjaad with 54.5kg at $14. This is going to test him.

Form hard to fault. Last start held ground to the line 3rd of 13 at this track in the LR J C Roberts on March 14 over 1800m, 2 len behind Aberdeen Flyer with 56kg at $3.10. The run before that favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 2.5 len at this track LR L Piper February 28 over 1600m defeating Aberdeen Flyer with 54kg at $3.90. Comes through a strong race and back to the mile can see him return to winning ways.

Previously first up; tenth of 13 at Belmont Park Rtg 66+ September 6 over 1600m, on heavy track; 7 len behind Odinaka carrying 58kg at $71. Plenty of more attractive propositions in this race.
