Ascot Race 5 - Royal Ascot Local Schools Art Competition Handicap
DEVIL'S PEAK (3) was gelded before running a mighty race when second in a Kempton Park handicap five weeks ago. Hails from a top stable having a fine start to the season with their three-year-olds and could prove competitive. SASSICAIA (2) won on debut at Wolverhampton however disappointed at Southwell three weeks ago. Possible that he needed the run and looks set to improve for the turf. SINTRA (5) remains a maiden after three starts. Not disgraced on turf debut at Yarmouth. One to keep an eye on for a market move. WATERFORD CASTLE (1) adopts first time cheekpieces. Did well at Newmarket recently. Consider.

At the latest run 3rd in a small field at Great Yarmouth on April 11 over 2000m, 4 len behind Del Maro carrying 59kg at $9. The start before that 2nd of 7 at Wolverhampton on March 17 over 1700m, 1.5 len behind Nobody Knows with 57kg at $2.10. Thereabouts but looks tested.
