1. Starfield Impact | Resumes after a 16 week spell and looks ready to go following convincing trial win at Belmont. Goes well at Ascot. Needs the breaks. |
2. All Day Session | Won once this prep at Ascot five runs back and finished midfield last start at the track. Not keen. |
3. Our Danni | Began awkwardly. Laid in concluding stages 3-1/4 len win of 6 (2) $1.90F 56.0 Noble Scot, Red Inferno 1000m Ascot 3yo (Rs0ly) Good(4) Dec 23. Wide throughout hd win of 10 (8) $3.80 56.0 Keep Your Feet, Devine Beast 1100m Ascot 3yo Plate Good(4) Jan 2. |
4. Bumper Humper | Faded from front position to finish just off the winner last start at Ascot when resuming and all wins have come when faced with dry ground. Up 3kg from last run. This looks too strong. |
5. Magical Dream | Returns from nine week let-up and winner of two when first-up including a win at Northam last go. Down in distance. Bad luck looks the only danger. |
6. Keep Your Feet | Amongst the placegetters first two attempts this prep and came on strong when just beaten last start at Ascot. Placed in three of three at the track before. One of the main hopes. |
7. Shock Result | Just missed when heavily backed last start at Pinjarra Park and won once this prep at Northam four runs back. Has shown early speed in races to date but not keen. |
8. Olden | Short back-up of seven days and down in distance. Has placed twice at Ascot before but looking to others. |
9. Zeewijk | Ran sixth at only start at Ascot. An untried jockey and trainer combination. Appears tested. |
10. Devine Beast | Narrowly beaten at long odds last start at Ascot when first up but ran fifth at Belmont in only second-up attempt. Likely to settle back in the field. Place only. |
11. Hot Mix | Flying start to career and drawn the rails. A winning chance. |
