Ascot Race 1 - Pepsi Plate
The 2YOs kick things off and BARRON BILL (5) makes plenty of appeal with a good trial win recently. Pike hopping on board today is a big tick and he showed good speed there, so the inside draw is a big tick for him. Can be on speed from the draw and make a statement on debut. OFFICIAL BUSINESS (7) has trial form around BARRON BILL, hitting the line alongside him in his latest heat at Belmont. Chris Parnham sticks with him on debut and with that trial looking strong, he can get the job done on debut. DIXIE DOO (8) got the job done in a photo finish over 1200m at Belmont last time out. Back in trip is a slight query, but he's shown he can run on strongly in his previous efforts. Can come home with a wet sail. ALL ON RED (1) will be fitter for the fresh run where he bumped into a smart horse. He's better than he showed there and can bounce back. LIGHT OF THE WORLD (6) trialled on the same day as BARRON BILL and showed enough to suggest he can run well.

Second run back. First-up after four months raced behind the speed prior to fading second last of 8 at this track in the LR Supremacy on March 21 over 1000m, 6 len behind Aurum Belle carrying 58.5kg at $10. Previously second-up won by 2.5 len at this track 2yo Swp October 25 over 1000m on a soft track defeating London Rose carrying 58kg at $2.50. Fitter now and can feature in the finish.

Second-up. First-up after four months sat on the pace before fading to run last of 8 at this track 2yo Swp on April 1 over 1200m, slow going 4.5 len behind Rok 'N' Rom carrying 57kg at $20. Previously second-up ran on strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 12 at this track 2yo Swp on December 6 over 1000m, 1.4 len behind Red Lark carrying 57kg at $31. This looks too tough.

Two-year-old gelding making debut by Shalaa out of First Lady. Won a trial over 1000m at Belmont Park on March 30. Looks to have early speed and can make a winning start to his career from the inside barrier.

Colt by Gingerbread Man facing the starter for the first time. Trial form indicates he's up to a solid debut. Was runner-up in a trial at Belmont Park on March 30 over 1000m. Hit the line alongside Barron Bill in the trial and that looks good form for a race like this.

Last start won by a nose at Belmont Park 2yo 0Mw March 25 over 1200m defeating Hillside Avenue carrying 55kg at $4.40. The start before that got back early 5th of 10 at Bunbury 2yo Swp on March 7 over 1200m, 1.1 len behind Here The Boom with 55kg at $5.50. Back in trip today but she can play a leading role.

Raced twice to date. At very big odds at debut, 5th of 11 at this track 2yo Swp on March 14 over 1100m, 6 len behind Jedi Dream with 55kg at $71. Second-up 4th of 8 at Belmont Park 2yo Mdn on April 2 over 1000m, 4 len behind Cos I Am carrying 55kg at $19. With further improvement can play a major role.
