Ascot Race 2 - Carbine Club Of Wa Apprentices Cup (Bm66+)
ABISSI (1) bolted in two back before jumping favourite and getting too far back, finishing strongly to end up 0.8L off the winner. He gets a nice weight swing on I LOVE YA MONEY who beat him there, and a better draw this time should see him closer in the run. Can get back to winning ways. I LOVE YA MONEY (2) beat ABISSI two back and landed the knockout blow last week on the 7-day turnaround again, winning by 0.4L. He meets ABISSI worse at the weights this time, but he's racing in top order and has enough tactical speed to offset the draw. Expecting him to play a leading role again. STARWALKER (4) comes through the same race that All Grunt won last start where he was behind Abissi and ILYM. Will need some luck to turn the tables, but his recent form shows that he's not too far away. LIEN HYPHEN (6) finds the right race today. ROMMEO (3) is next best.

Moved into the race at this track last start and finished fourth behind All Grunt, beaten just under a length as a well-supported favourite. He had won impressively at this venue the start prior, beating Rommeo by two and a half lengths on soft ground. Maps to get every chance for Tsang, with the 3kg claim giving him a favourable weight swing.

Drops from a 1 Metro Win after digging in to beat Dark Looks by a long neck at this track last week, having been sent out favourite. Beat Abissi two back and that looks a strong form reference for this.

Raced wide throughout last start yet still finished fifth behind All Grunt, beaten just under a length at this track, which gives the run genuine merit at an outside price. He was second to Abissi here the start prior, beaten two and a half lengths. Not out of this on his best form.

Failed to threaten when sixth behind All Grunt last start, beaten two and a half lengths after losing position before the turn. His previous fifth to Abissi was also only fair, beaten five lengths in a small field. Finds the right race today and can put it all together.

Was well held in BM54+ grade at Belmont Park last start, finishing eighth behind Capable Angel, beaten just over six lengths after losing position before the turn. He was hampered late, but the run was already under pressure. A sharp lift is required.

Finished ninth behind All Grunt at this track last start, beaten six and a half lengths after looming before the turn and then fading without a clear excuse. Her start prior fourth over 1800m at this venue was better, even though she was unwanted in the market. In the mix in a suitable race.

Returns from a one-month freshening after a plain seventh in BM52+ grade at York, beaten just over seven lengths after appearing ready to challenge before offering little. He was also safely held in BM54+ grade at Northam the start prior and now rises to a harder BM66+ task. Weight relief and 2200m record help, but others read stronger.

Backs up quickly after finishing fourth in NMW1Y grade at this track last week, beaten three and a half lengths at big odds on soft ground. He was held up at the start prior after knuckling on jumping, so there was some excuse there. Looking to others.
