Ascot
Verdict
BLAZING EMERALD (4) is hard to knock on recent form, winning three of her last 5. She's on the quick turnaround from last week when winning by 0.5L here, but she maps for a lovely run once again and she can repeat the dose. WESTERN POWER (6) looks to be hitting his straps now and looks suited by the step up to the mile third-up into the campaign. He also runs on the 7-day turnaround. but he looks to be on the way up now and CJP sticking is a positive sign. He's the main danger. TRIO (3) disappointed last start when well back over 1400m following a good win at the mile prior. Now back up in trip with Pike on from a good alley, she ticks plenty of boxes to return to winning ways. WITHOUT REG (1) was too good over 1400m last start and can repeat the dose. ZEPHYRA (2) was 2L off Without Reg last start but draws inside now and won't be far away again.
