1. Position Of Power | Short back-up of seven days and large claim helps. Up 3kg from last run. Cannot entertain. |
2. Helms Gate | Can't knock the form with five wins from 12 attempts this campaign and goes down in weight. Madi Derrick not a regular jockey for this trainer. Appears safely held. |
3. Sweet Dreamin' | 3/4 len win of 12 (8) $6.00 60.0 Rogues Point, Heart Of Coeur 1200m Bunbury 2yo+ Hcp (C5) Good(4) Mar 11. 5-1/2 len 7th of 11 (8) $26.00 58.5 Amasenus 1200m Ascot 2yo+ (Bm66+) Good(4) Mar 27. |
4. Downforce | Has two wins from eight attempts this campaign and goes well at Ascot. Drops in weight. Place. |
5. Point Taken | Finished strongly to end up midfield last start at Ascot when resuming and ran second at Belmont when last second-up. Up in journey. Appears tested. |
6. Tommy Blue | Strong in winning last start at Pinjarra Park and two wins from six attempts this campaign. Won two of six as a favourite. Leading contender. |
7. Bruce Almighty | On a seven day back-up and two wins from 10 attempts this campaign. All four wins have come in the dry. Expected to be a contender. |
8. Creator | Only just missed in driving finish last start at Ascot and should run fitter for past attempts. Faces a rise in trip. A good chance. |
9. Dark Mission | Ran eighth last start at Ascot and gets the blinkers on for the first time. William Pike has a strike rate of 34% for this trainer. Serious player. |
10. Al Magico | Has placed in two runs from six this campaign but has not won in four outings to Ascot before. Drawn perfectly but still prefer to watch go around. |
11. Pretty Friar | First-up after 17 week break and placed when trialling at Belmont. Down in distance. Prefer others. |
