Ascot

BARECOVE ROCK (5) just missed in a blanket finish on debut before scoring a 0.4L victory at Pinjarra most recently. The form out of that race has worked out well and this looks to set up nicely for him once again. Can work through the grades and notch up another victory. MOHEGAN RULER (3) never really got into the race last start at Pinjarra when well back and should appreciate the rise in trip. Pike remains in the saddle which is a positive sign and while he's drawn wide again, he can finish off much better with the run under his belt. L'IL CAPRI (6) ran over the top to score by 0.9L last start at this track and trip and is on the 7-day back-up. Cooper hops on board now claiming 3kg and while the inside barrier is a niggle, she looks a progressive type. SPORTS TALK (2) is better than he showed last start when right up in grade and is better placed here. SO NATAYA (4) won't be far away with CJP riding from a favourable gate.
