Ascot Race 3 - Peters Investments Plate
MARK THE SKY (5) is on debut for the Dan Morton stable and there's plenty to like. He's a well-related colt, a brother to G1 winner Portland Sky as well as a couple of other handy types. His latest trial was enormous and if he can run up to that effort on debut, he'll be very hard to beat. COS I AM (6) settled near the back on debut and flew home to win over 1000m. The slight rise in distance looks a key for her and her racing pattern last start suggests the wide draw isn't a problem either. Watch for her flying late once again. HILLSIDE AVENUE (7) missed narrowly as the odds-on favourite at Pinjarra last start and may be better suited back to the 1100m journey. She'll need some luck from out wide, but she'll be hard to run down if she can get across. RUN RUPERT RUN (4) was very impressive at the trials coming into this and Pike sticks from his latest heat. Keep safe. OFFICIAL BUSINESS (2) gets the winkers on first time today and improvement is expected.

Was well-supported at debut, sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 11 at this track 2yo Swp on April 11 over 1000m, 4.5 len behind Striking Alibi carrying 56kg at $3.40. Not far away on debut and with improvement likely, he can feature again.

Jumped at long odds at debut, 7th of 11 at this track 2yo Swp on April 11 over 1000m, 6 len behind Striking Alibi carrying 56kg at $41. Will take valuable race experience and fitness from the run although doubtful he can improve enough.

Resumes from a spell after only one run when didn't do much in the run home; second last of 8 at this track 2yo Swp on February 7 over 1000m, 8 len behind Ruthless Angel carrying 56kg at $3. Has looked good at the trials and Pike sticking from the trials is a good push for his chances.

Gelding by St Mark's Basilica making his first appearance. Won a Belmont Park trial over 1000m on April 13. Half-brother to a few handy ones, including G1 winner and now stallion Portland Sky. Can make an immediate impact following an impressive trial coming into this.

Was well-supported at debut, won was well back until straightening; raced back then made ground from the turn; won by 0.5 len at Belmont Park 2yo Mdn April 2 over 1000m defeating One Last Resort with 55kg at $3.10. Looks suited by the rise in distance and is sure to be finishing strongly once again.

Third-up today. First-up gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 13 at Belmont Park 2yo 0Mw on March 25 over 1200m, nose behind Dixie Doo with 55kg at $10. Last start set the pace for much of the race 3rd in a small field at Pinjarra 2Mdn on April 8 over 1200m, head behind Axopar with 55kg at $1.70. Shows promise. Missed narrowly last start and will take beating again today.
