Ascot Race 2 - Quayclean (Bm66+)
DARK LOOKS (7) finished off strongly to just miss last time out, clocking some good splits in the process. She now draws to sit closer for Riordan, meaning she carries just 52kg. If she can sit closer and runs up to her splits last start, she can go one better. MISS VEUVE (2) finished behind DARK LOOKS two back before jumping favourite and winning last start over this track and trip a fortnight ago. Cooper's claim comes in handy as she'll carry the same weight as last start, and she's drawn better this time. Can continue her winning ways. ABISSI (5) dropped back in trip last start and only just missed at Kalgoorlie, finishing 1.1L off the winner after a good run here prior where she finished behind DARK LOOKS. Parnham rides again now and he can fire getting back out in distance. STARWALKER (3) wasn't beaten far last start and can be in the finish again. ROMMEO (4) is next best.

Bounced back strongly at Belmont Park last start, travelling well and working over the top to beat All Grunt by half a length as favourite. That followed a fifth in a 3yo+ 1 Metro Win when also sent out favourite, so she has been well found by the market this campaign. Can sit handy from the outset and it wouldn't surprise to see her repeat the dose.

Closed to be third behind Miss Veuve at Belmont Park last start, beaten just under a length after moving into the race and working home evenly. He had earlier run fourth in a 3yo+ 1 Metro Win at big odds, beaten a length and a half after covering ground. Can feature in the finish again.

Improved at Belmont Park last start when fourth behind Miss Veuve, beaten just under two lengths at long odds after being close enough on the turn. That was a better effort than his soft-ground tenth the run prior, when he gave away too much start and only battled home. Good from the front last start and can play a leading role again.

Put in another honest run at Kalgoorlie last week, finishing second to Wild Things in a 3yo+ 1 Metro Win after being slow to begin and still closing strongly. He steps from provincial company to a harder meeting, but his prior Belmont Park third in the same grade reads well enough. Back out in trip looks a good move and he can get back to winning ways on the short turnaround.

Was tailed off behind Miss Veuve at Belmont Park last start, with the equipment issue noted by stewards the only real reason to be forgiving of the margin. Her previous Bunbury third in a 3yo+ Class 3 was sound enough after a slow beginning, but that form is still short of what the leading chances bring. Hard to have on what she produced last time out.

Went within a head of Admired in a 3yo+ 1 Metro Win at Belmont Park last start, covering ground and still finishing strongly on soft going. Her previous fifth behind Miss Veuve also had merit after racing wide throughout, and she now gets a 3kg claim with strong track and distance credentials behind her. Drawn better this time around and if she can sit closer this time, she can go one better.
