Ascot Race 6 - Liquor Barons (Bm72+)
LIKE CLOCKWORK (9) was very impressive on resumption, running away to win by 2.5L as the $1.60 favourite. Back to 1000m now is the query, but she's an exciting mare on the way up and she should be handy from the barrier. Parnham rides now and she can go on with the job. BASSETT HOUND (8) showed what he was capable of last campaign and showed he's not to be discounted this campaign with a nice trial win recently. He comes here with no weight on his back and while he is likely to get back in the run, he can storm over the top to pick up from where he left off. BLACK ORA (2) was just fair in a recent trial, but her form last campaign, particularly at this track and trip, makes her an attractive proposition. Can make her presence felt. SNITZALATTE (6) boasts a strong fresh record, as well as winning 3/4 at this track and trip. Can make an impression. PINGERS (7) has to be included on a strong last-start win.

Returns from a lengthy spell after finishing last behind Desert Whisper at this track, beaten just under six lengths after beginning awkwardly. His earlier win over Sixinch Heels at this venue shows he is capable at the level, and two trials should have him forward enough. Proven at this track and trip, but recent race form leaves him with ground to make up.

Returns from a lengthy spell after a narrow second to Desert Whisper at this track, where she travelled well and was beaten just over half a length. That followed a determined win over Charino at this venue in a 2yo+ Benchmark 66+. Ticks a few boxes on resumption and a forward showing is on the cards.

Has been safely held in two runs this campaign, finishing sixth to Pingers in a 3yo+ Benchmark 66+ at Belmont Park after pressing forward and battling on fairly. She was last behind Pond Master at the same venue two back and was big odds last time. Others bring stronger winning claims.

Returns from a lengthy spell after being beaten just over six lengths behind Charino at Belmont Park, with stewards noting he raced wide throughout. His previous fifth to Sir Dreamalot in a 2yo+ Benchmark 78+ was more competitive, beaten a length and a half. Last run had a wide-run excuse, but recent figures still leave him short.

Returns from a lengthy spell with three straight wins behind him, most recently beating Swingman in a 3yo Open at this track after leading and finding plenty. He had earlier beaten Ahyeahrighto in a 2yo+ 1 Metro Win and is four from four with this jockey. Talented, but this fresh assignment asks more.

Returns from a lengthy spell after starting favourite and running sixth to Sir Dreamalot at Belmont Park, beaten a length and a half after beginning awkwardly and racing keenly early. Her prior second to Split The Gee at this track in a 3yo Open reads well, and she has three wins from four at this track and distance. Boasts a strong fresh record and can make a statement first-up.

Arrives race-fit after winning a 3yo+ Benchmark 66+ at Belmont Park, beating Niccimota by a long neck at generous odds after tracking up and arriving late. The run prior was also sound when fourth behind Pond Master, beaten a length and a half at long odds. Good win last start and while this is tougher, she has to be included on that performance.

Returns from a four-month break in excellent order, having won a Belmont Park trial since completing a hat-trick in his previous campaign. He was dominant late in a 3yo Open over 1200m, beating Monte Tremezzo as a short odds-on favourite, and had also won with something in hand the start prior. Impressive trial coming in and he can pick up from where he left off.

Resumed in the right manner at Belmont Park, winning a 3yo+ Benchmark 66+ over 1200m by two and a half lengths as odds-on favourite after travelling well and finishing strongly. She had earlier contested the Listed Belmont Oaks, so there is depth to the profile, and she has placed both times at around 1000m. Back to 1000m is a query, though she's an exciting mare on the rise and a forward showing is on the cards.
