R1- GINGER LOCKS won really well on debut at big odds. Weaved his way through from the back of the field which is a good quality to have for a 2yo and really ran through the line. His trial prior to that wasn’t bad when being eased near the line and did look to have a little left to give. Again likely settles just worse than midfield but looks one of the few 2yos who is really suited by 1200 at this stage and should go close again.
R2- OUR BOY DYLAN has been racing in good form since returning from a freshen. Won a class one with plenty in hand before bumping into Cuballing in a class three. Two back he was a close up fourth behind Vadette Da Star and last start worked hard early in a high quality class three. Drops weight here back into 3yo company and looks to get a much softer run tracking the speed which he seems to appreciate.
R3- BRUCE ALMIGHTY seems to go lengths better with a rail to follow. Got that two back when leading and booting away from them into the bend and hold in a similar race to this. Last start came around the leaders back only to lay back in behind when third last Sunday in a race where the first three cleared right out from fourth. Draws one here in a race he should be able to lead comfortably and on the backup with easterlies around will make himself hard to run down.
R4- UNIVERSAL PLEASURE will be an interesting watch out of the gates. Drawn the outside in a field with little early speed do they come out running to find the fence or go right back with a horse they believe will be a better chaser. Regardless she is going along super having won her last three in soft fashion and beat two subsequent winners at her most recent. This is tougher and the draw doesn’t make things easier but hard to knock a progressive mare in form.
R5-RELIABLE STAR brings alternate form to the other three favourites having avoided the 1000 Guineas. Was unlucky not to win two back having ridden a bump near the 100 in a faster run race than the 1000 Guineas on the same day. Backed up into a 2000m race against older horses last week and won nicely and now backs up again here at 2200. That should have her rock hard fit to run the trip strongly where her rivals may be left wanting at the finish.
R6- MISS MARIETTA has returned in career best form. Seriously attacked the line first up in the Pearl Classic at 1300 before going close second up and bolting in last start on her home track. She may not have beaten much but was impressive enough to suggest she can go close back into Saturday grade. She looks to get another perfect run just off the speed from barrier one and just needs an ounce of luck in the straight.
R7- WESTERN EMPIRE is impossible to knock coming off a demolition job in the Lex Piper. Does find himself in a slightly stronger field here but with that he finds a field that should produce a stronger tempo to help him relax as he does have a tendency to over race. His form from the Summer carnival is outstanding and at set weights and penalties concedes 2kg to horses he beat by 5L+. Sits midfield and should be able to win in similar fashion.
R8- Best Bet: CUBALLING is starting show some versatility in his races. Early in his career was ridden for speed but has been able to sit back at his last two and produce a sustained turn of foot that can get him out of trouble like it did last start. Back to 1000m here which looks his best trip and from three think they try and have him settle a touch closer over the short course. He’s starting to turn into a real winner and that should see him continue through the grades.
R9- LORENTINIO is a handy front running type suited to Ascot racing. Is a two time winner in this grade this campaign and still gets in with a very winnable 58kg after Ramoly’s claim. Seems to appreciate 3-4 week spaces between his runs, loves 1400 and looks like getting things his own way out in front here. The race he won last start was very similar to this but there are no Resortmans he has to hold out late and he likely proves too slippery for them again.

R2-DIVINE PAIR has shown above average ability and returned with a solid trial. SAVAGE ONE and SPICY DANCER will be in the thick of it.
R3-PETITE LA FEMME has been running out of her skin recently, her run last start in graduation 60+ was full of merit. She should be hard to beat at a good each way quote.
R4-UNIVERSAL PLEASURE has never missed the placings in her career and this will be no different.possibly her toughest assignment to date but can’t knock winning form.
R5-SOLAIA say no more she should win this. Throw SUNSET CRUISE into the exotics
R6-BERET was a good run last start, stretching out to the mile for the first time, but shows it shouldn’t be an issue.
R7-WESTERN EMPIRE after smashing his rivals last start he just wins. SHEIKH IT in for multiples , getting over a more suitable distance in my opinion but is running for 2nd.
R8-CUBALLING was a good win last start, drops 1kg on that win and can’t seeing it being far away again. MASQUERADE first up demands respect. Trk/dist stats are good and last time he was 1st up run 4th behind horses like long beach, condor hero’s and this’ll testya..
R9-LORENTINIO should find the front with lucky aboard and be hard to hold out. MY GREEK BOY is a big weight dropper and is a good each way chance.

Enjoy the day!
This is what she wants - her old man Helmet his best win was in a Caulfield Guineas over the mile, around 2011 and defeated Manawapoi or Manawanui something like that. Was a terrific finish with a gutsy Helmet holding on for Kerrin McEvoy and trainer Peter Snowden.
Helmet could be a bugger of a horse for favourite backers, can recall being a beaten favourite several times, was heavily backed on the day in a Cox Plate to run fave and fair dinkum was the first horse beaten! About 3/1 into 7/4, was a big fluctuation remember that much. Won a Champagne Stakes in Sydney.
Anyway back to Beret - gets back but hopefully can get into the three wide line with cover and swoop.
Now for the outlandish - come Railway Stakes and Kingston Town time this mare will be running!
Goes up in weight due to winning(he got 5 points), the slightly lower grade and Madi's claim dropping down to 2kgs.I don't think the rise to 56 will matter too much so ew all day(place heavier)on this honest gelding could see more cash go in the kick.
*I will add your tip looks hard to beat but otherwise they are just an average bunch i think he can beat.

From a far better gate today and a smaller field will be closer and swamp them late.Even 3.30 on the boost is still decent looks like he will start shorter...6/4 I reckon
R2.SassyTrader wonder if Turner kicks up and.leads? Little worry if he is overrun early but small field should be ok getting a run(used to LOVE laying in though).
R3 Double Spice and a spec the maiden and drifting in price Petite La Femme who can win an even race.Last run was good.
R4 knocking the fav, Universal Pleasure if it gets over ok for Lucky can 4peat.
R5 looks hard to split 4 of them and after last start I'm sitting out would rather throw stake here at a standout additional bet in the "Western Empire" stakes.
R9 Not To Be Mist can turn the tables on the topple, on the proviso of an economical run.

Around the time said Uni Time was a Railway Stakes horse it was defeated by Go Crying at Belmont - last seen hovering around at Mt Barker, things can change!
