Ascot Race 2 - Tabtouch - Westspeed Platinum (Rs0ly)
STREET BAND (2) is building nicely this time in, missing by 0.8L last start over this track and trip. Cooper hopping on board now takes 2kgs off and the form out of his last start has worked out well. This looks to shape similarly and he can strike third-up into the preparation. LINCHPIN (5) landed midfield and closed off strongly to miss out as the race favourite. Out to 1400m now is a big tick and the inside draw should see him much closer in the run. Looks set to raise the bar. BONDI'S FUTURE (3) had trialled well coming in off a very long 910-day break and didn't show any signs of ring rust, leading and only being gunned down late. Drawn wider this time, but he's likely to be better for that effort and he can't be left out of calculations. SOLDIER OF GOD (9) disappointed last start when getting well back and never featuring. Out in trip now and a better draw can see him in the finish. TOO MUCH TALK (6) lands here off a freshen and has to be respected with form around My Jimmy.

Worked home from a rearward position when sixth in a 1 Metro Win over 1200m at this track, beaten just over three lengths on soft ground at long odds. His earlier second at this venue was much sharper, though he again came from well back. Looking elsewhere.

Continued his consistent campaign when third in this grade at this track, beaten just under a length after travelling behind the leaders and fighting on strongly. He had earlier run into the money in a BM66+ at Belmont Park at generous odds, so the form is holding up. Rates highly on his latest effort and should get every chance to end his winning drought.

Resumed with a strong second in a 1 Metro Win at this track, beaten a neck after giving a good sight at outside odds. His overall record is a major positive, with four wins and four placings from eleven starts, and he has never missed a place at this distance. Impressive off a 910-day break there and if she's up to that level again, she'll be right in the finish.

Finished last in a 1 Metro Win at this track last start, beaten over 18 lengths after being close enough at the turn, and there was no clear excuse. His fifth at Northam two back in a Class 5 was more respectable, but he still failed to threaten as favourite. Track-and-trip win helps only a little on current form.

Returned with a solid second over 1200m at this track, beaten a length and a half as a well-supported favourite after settling back and travelling well. The move back to 1400m is a strong positive given he has three wins and one placing from four starts at the distance. Solid there and has a nice platform to build on now.

Returns from a three-month break after ending her last preparation with a fifth at Belmont Park, beaten two and a half lengths after racing wide and being eased late. She had won a FM Class 3 at Belmont at her previous run and is proven at 1400m, with two wins and one placing from four distance starts. Keep an eye on the market.

Closed off from well back when seventh over 1200m at this track last week, beaten just under four lengths at generous odds. His previous third over 1100m was more encouraging, beaten just under a length, and he is now third-up. Can feature on what he's done this campaign.

Had excuses when sixth in a Class 1 at Belmont Park last start, racing wide throughout and being bumped near the 900m before weakening late. She faces a harder meeting now, but weight relief, a quick back-up and fourth-up fitness are in her favour. Place claims if she finishes off better.
