Ascot
Verdict
FINE TOUCH (2) steps up in trip again today as she looks to bring up a winning hat-trick. She sat on the speed and scored by 0.7L most recently over 1800m last start and she can be up front again despite the draw. Will make her own luck and should be hard to run down. GRAND RESERVE (9) gets the blinkers on first time today as he rises up to 2200m again today and he's a course and distance winner previously. Campbell hops in the saddle now and with good speed drawn inside, the barrier doesn't seem too bard. Down in the weights and looks the main danger. ZAZA ROCK (10) was beaten 0.2L last start at Pinjarra and jumped favourite over this trip at Kalgoorlie at the end of last campaign. CJP rides from barrier two and if she can improve again out in trip, she'll go very close. FAT ROY SLIM (1) just missed over 2100m last start and Pike remains in the saddle. Will put himself in the finish again. HENCHARD (4) is ticking along nicely and should get his chance up in trip.
