Ascot Race 2 - Queen's Vase (Group 2)
LIMESTONE (4) Good win by 1 1/4L last time at Navan and lining up against easier rivals. Has hit top form this campaign with 2 wins from as many starts. Has to be included. POINT OF LAW (7) Reeled them in when winning last run at Newbury and facing an increased distance. Has not missed the placings this preparation in 2 attempts. Looks to be value. RAVENSPIRE (10) Displayed potential when winning by 2L last run at Haydock and dropping weight. Flying this campaign with 2 wins from 2 runs. Up to these. WAREETH (11) Made a mess of them when winning by 6L last run at Salisbury and gets a favourable draw. Going well this preparation winning 2 from 3 starts. Solid career start. Can get the job done.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 2nd in a small field at Goodwood in the LR Cocked Hat Stakes on May 23 over 2200m, nose behind Golden Story carrying 58kg at $4.50. The run before that ran second last in a small field at Chester in the G3 Chester Vase Stakes on May 6 over 2500m, 8 len behind Benvenuto Cellini with 58kg at $6.50. Well placed to take this out.

Comes here off a 41-day let-up. Most recently won by 1.0 len at Chester May 7 over 2500m defeating Mythical Bay with 55kg at $13. The run before that ran last in a small field at Southwell All Weather on April 11 over 2400m, 2 len behind Galilean Quality with 60.5kg at $1.80. Latest form makes this a pretty tough assignment.
